REPLACING THE SANDING PAD
Over time, with heavy use, the base pad may warp or distort. If
this occurs, the quality of the finish may drop, and the base pad
should be replaced.
1. Remove any sandpaper on the pad.
2. Insert the hex wrench into the central hex screw (Fig. 8 - 1)
located in the center of the hook and loop base pad.
3. Hold the pad firmly while turning the wrench to unscrew the
center hex screw. Replace the pad with an identical part suited
for this particular model of drywall sander.
4. Secure the new pad by holding the pad firmly and completely
tightening the central hex screw.
CHECKING AND CHANGING CARBON BRUSHES
After using your drywall sander for a while (50 or more hours)
it is recommended to check the carbon brushes. Be sure to re-
install brushes in the same orientation as they originally were if
they do not need to be replaced. When the brush head is less
than 1/4 inch, replace the brushes. Always replace the brushes
in pairs.
1. Unscrew the brush caps (Fig. 9 - 1) on each side of the motor
housing.
2. Remove the carbon brush from its compartment and check
the length of the silver head.

3. If the head is less than 1/4”, replace the brushes. Otherwise replace the brush in the same orientation as they
previously were.
4. After inserting the carbon brush into its compartment, screw the brush cap to secure the carbon brushes.
CLEANING
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 techni-
cian. Do not use a damaged tool.
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 might dissolve the plastic of the unit. Make sure water does not get inside of the unit.
