FEATURES
Your sander is suitable for sanding with coarse, medium,
and fine grit sandpaper. It will produce a fine scratch free
finish when used to sand with the grain on wood surfaces.
Your sander has a comfortable palm grip handle that
provides maximum one-hand comfort, and reduces
operator fatigue during continuous sanding operations.
Your sander also has a built-in dust collection that
collects dust through punched holes in the sandpaper
and cushion (Fig. 2).
Before attempting to use your sander, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety requirements.
SWITCH (1)
This tool is equipped with a simple switch control. To turn
the sander "ON", slide the switch to the left.
Slide the switch to the right to turn the sander "OFF".
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (4)
The electronic speed control allows the operator to adjust
speed to meet varity sanding material from tough heavy
grained timber to delicate veneer.
WARNING
Do not allow familiarity with your sander to make
you careless. Remember, a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
OPERATION
WARNING
Your sander should never be connected to power
supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, assembling or replacing sandpaper,
cleaning, or when not in use.
Disconnecting sander will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
INSTALLING ADHESIVE SANDPAPER
Inspect sandpaper before installing.
DO NOT use
broken or defective sandpaper.
■
Unplug your sander.
WARNING
Failure to unplug your sander could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious
personal injury.
■
If replacing sandpaper, remove old sandpaper by
peeling it off.
■
Holes in sand paper must line up with holes in
backing pad in order for the dust collection feature of
your sander to function properly.
Note:
DO NOT use sander without sandpaper.
Doing so will damage the cushion
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
CAUTION
Be careful not to let your hand completely cover
air vents.
SANDING (Fig. 1)
WARNING
Unsecured work could be thrown towards the
operator causing injury.
Hold your sander in front and away from you, keeping it
clear of the workpiece. Start your sander by pressing the
switch button to "ON" position and letting the motor build
to its maximum speed. Gradually lower your sander on
the work with a slight forward movement. Move it slowly
using forward and backward strokes.
DO NOT FORCE.
The weight of the unit supplies adequate
pressure, so let the sandpaper and sander do the work.
Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly
wears sandpaper and greatly reduces sander speed.
Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing
possible damage from motor overheating and can result in
inferior work.
Any finish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional
heat. Do not allow sanding on one spot too long as the
sander's rapid action may remove too much material,
making the surface uneven.
