OPERATION
1. Hold the machine firmly with both hands. DO NOT hold the machine by the machine’s head to avoid injury.
3. Before operation, make sure every fastener and nut has been properly engaged and that the sanding pad has
been properly installed and aligned.
4. Before switching on the machine, keep the sanding head slightly away from the work surface.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Use the speed wheel (Fig. F - 1) to adjust anywhere from 600 to
1500 RPM. This drywall sander is equipped with constant speed
control to keep the pad running at a consistent rate despite changes
in applied load.
TURNING ON THE DRYWALL SANDER
After setting the variable speed to your desired RPM, power the
machine by pressing forward on the power switch (Fig. F - 2).

5. During sanding operation, do not press down too hard in order to avoid overloading the sander. Use proper
pressure for better sanding effects. If the machine slows or bogs down, immediately lessen the applied pressure.
The quality of the results are mainly determined by choosing the right abrasive material for the job.
6. Once the sanding task has been completed, turn off the machine. Wait for the pad to stop rotating before set-
ting down the machine.
CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR DRYWALL SANDER
Clean the unit immediately after using it. Regularly clean the unit with a damp cloth and a little soft soap. Do not
use cleaners or solvents as they will attack the plastic of the unit. Make sure water does not get into the unit.
Your drywall sander requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. Always store your sander in a dry place
away from children.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a similarly qualified technician.
DO NOT USE A DAMAGED TOOL.. If excessive sparking occurs, have the carbon brushes checked by a
qualified electrician. Only a qualified technician should change the carbon brushes.
