INSTALLING ATTACHMENTS
BE SURE TO DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
WHEN REPLACING ABRASIVE PAPER AND BEFORE REMOVING AND
ATTACHING THE DUST SKIRT.
HOW TO REMOVE AND ATTACH THE DUST SKIRT(Fig. 1, 2)
It is necessary to remove the dust skirt before changing the abrasive paper.
1. Remove the ring cap attached to the nozzle.
2. Taking hold of the dust skirt on both sides, carefully take it off the
sander, ensuring that you do not to strech it out of shape.
3. To reattach the dust skirt, fit it back onto the sander, ensuring that it is
aligned correctly with the grooves(5) on the sander.
HOW TO ATTACH ABRASIVE PAPER (Fig. 3, 4, 5, 6)
CHOOSE ABRASIVE PAPER CAREFULLY FOR EACH APPLICATION
FOR OPTIMUM OPERATION AND FINISHING.
By taking the following steps, you can easily attach abrasive paper to the
sander.
You will be able to attach the paper more easily if you fold the paper
beforehand, as shown in the diagram.
1. Make sure that the abrasive paper is level with the side edge of the
pad plate.
2. Lift and release the clamp spring (2) and insert abrasive paper.
3. Replace the clamp spring.
4. Fold the paper under the pad plate (3) and do the same with the rear
clamp.
5. Make sure that the abrasive paper is as taut as possible.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NEVER COVER THE AIR VENTS (4) SINCE THEY MUST ALWAYS BE
OPEN FOR PROPER MOTOR COOLING.
MAKE SURE THAT THE WORKPIECE IS FREE OF NAILS AND OTHER
FOREIGN OBJECTS WHICH COULD TEAR THE ABRASIVE PAPER.
Always start the sander before applying it to the workpiece.
Move the sander evenly over the entire area. The weight of the sander
alone is sufficient for normal use. Any excess pressure will retard the sanding
action, leave an uneven finish and cause extra wear to both the tool and
the abrasive paper. Never operate the sander in one place for too long or
excessive material will be removed.
Always lift the sander off the workpiece before turning it off. The sander
should never be turned off while resting on the workpiece or when removing
material.
Do not use the sander without abrasive paper or the rubber pad will be
damaged.
CAUTION!
This sander is designed for DRY APPLICATIONS ONLY! Never use
water on the sanding pad and do not use the sander on wet surfaces.
