FEATURES
Your sander is suitable for sanding with coarse, medium,
and fi ne grit sandpaper. It will produce a fi ne scratch-free
fi nish 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.
Before attempting to use your sander, familiarize
yourself with all operating features and safety
requirements.
SWITCH
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
Your sander has advanced electronic features, designed
to assist you in getting the maximum use from your
sander. By making proper speed selections, your sander
can be adjusted to specifi c sanding needs.
The variable speed control allows the sander to develop a
no-load speed that can be adjusted from 7,000 to 12,000
min
-1
. The variable speed control selector is conveniently
located at the back of the sander.
The electronic feature of your sander introduces the
fl exibility of adjusting the motor speed to required job
conditions. An electronic speed control module senses
the load applied to the motor and increases or decreases
motor voltage to compensate for and maintain desired
RPM. Speed can be set according to the sanding purpose
or the surface of the workpiece you will be using. Increase
speed for rough surfaces or for quick removal of stock and
decrease speed for smaller, delicate sanding applications.
WARNING
Do not allow familiarity with your sander to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is suffi cient to infl ict severe injury.
OPERATION
WARNING
The tool should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
assembling or replacing sandpaper, cleaning, or when
the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious personal
injury.
INSTALLING SANDPAPER
Inspect the sandpaper before installing.
Do not use if it is
broken or defective.
INSTALLING ADHESIVE (HOOK AND LOOP)
SANDPAPER
See Figure 4.
1. Unplug the tool.
WARNING
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
2. Align the holes in the hook and loop type sanding disc
with holes in pad, then carefully press the fuzzy side
of sanding disc against the pad as tightly as possible.
NOTE:
Hook and loop type sanding discs can be reused
for the life of the sanding abrasive. It is recommended that
you keep the sanding disc backing pad clean to provide
for best adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly
with a small brush.
WARNING
Do not use sander without sandpaper, doing so will
damage the cushion.
CAUTION
Be careful not to let your hand completely cover the air
vents.
SANDING
See Figure 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 sanding disc and sander do the work.
Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly
wears sanding disc and greatly reduces sander speed.
Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing
possible damage from motor overheating and can result
in inferior work. Any fi nish or resin on wood may soften
from the frictional heat.
