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. 9 - 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 the drywall sander for a while (50 or more hours) it is
recommended to check the carbon brushes. Be sure to reinstall
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 brushes in pairs.
1. Unscrew brush caps (Fig. 10 - 1) on each side of the motor.

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 tech-
nician. 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.
OPERATION
ADJUSTABLE SUCTION
Use the adjustable suction wheel (Fig. 8 - 1) to change the suc-
tion power depending on the work material and position. Keep
the wheel mostly open when working on walls, and closed when
working on ceilings, to help make the job less tiring. It is sug-
gested to start with the adjustable wheel completely open and
slowly close the wheel until the desired suction is achieved. Ex-
cessive suction may cause the unit to vibrate, become hard to
control, or overload the machine. Decrease the suction power if
any of these symptoms are present.
