WARNING:
Always wait until the machine has stopped vibrating completely before
putting it down. Always disconnect from the power supply after use.
Sanding
• If the tool is connected to a vacuum dust extraction system, switch the
extraction device ‘on’ before switching on the sander. Switch the sander ‘off’
first, then the vacuum system
• Move the machine in a circular motion over the workpiece surface, applying
an even, moderate pressure until you reach the desired surface finish
WARNING:
Excessive pressure does not lead to a faster removal of material; it
will, however, lead to premature wear of the sanding disc, and may cause damage
to the machine.
• If there are still scratches on your workpiece after sanding, refer to ‘Selecting
the right grade of sanding disc’
