5. ORBITAL SANDING
Guide your sander parallel to the working surface and
move it in circles or in a cross pattern. Do not tilt the tool
in order to avoid deep unwanted sanding marks. The
amount of material removed is determined by the speed
of the sanding disc and the grit size used. The speed
of the sanding disc diminishes relative to the pressure
applied to the tool. For faster removal, do not increase
pressure on the tool, but use a coarser grit size.
6. SELECTING THE RIGHT GRADE OF
SANDPAPER
— Different grades of sanding paper can be purchased
from good DIY shops. Available grades are Coarse,
Medium and Fine.
— Use coarse grits to sand down rough finishes, medium
grit to smooth the work and fine grit to finish off.
— The higher the grade number, the finer the grit. For
rough work start with a low grade of grit. (e.g. 60 grit)
and change to a higher, finer grade (e.g. 120 grit) for
finishing. If you use a fine grade for rough surfaces it
will soon clog and need changing.
— It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of
material to determine the optimum grades of
sandpaper for a particular job.
7. POLISHING PAD
The polishing pad can be used for polishing the surface
with weathered paint or buffing out scratches. When
polishing, select the min level, otherwise the polisher
vibrates badly.
1) Spread about a tablespoonful of polish evenly over the
entire surface of the polishing pad. Do not apply polish
directly onto a somewhat smaller surface than you
intend to polish.
2) This first application should do about 1/3 of an average
size surface applying it crosswise or with circular
motion and moderate pressure.
3) For the second and third applications of polish, repeat
as above. The pad cover will not adsorb as much when
reloading.
NOTE:
• Do not overheat the surface.
• Do not allow the polishing pad to dry out on the
surface, otherwise the surface can become damaged.
• Do not subject the surface to direct sunlight.
• Clean the polishing pad regularly to keep good
polishing results. Wash out polishing bonnet with a
mild detergent and warm water.
WORKING HINTS FOR
YOUR SANDER
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when
used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run
it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid
prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always use sand
paper that is suitable for the material you want to sand.
Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped
to prevent movement. Support large panels close to the
sanding area. Any movement of the material may affect
the quality of the sanding finish. Start your sander before
sanding and turn it off only after you stop sanding. For
the best results, sand wood in the direction of the grain.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.
Empty the dust bag every 5 minutes or sooner to ensure
efficient dust collection.
MAINTENANCE
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store
your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation
slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation
slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.
FOR BATTERY TOOLS
The ambient temperature range for the use and
storage of tool and battery is 0°C-45°C.
The recommended ambient temperature range for
the charging system during charging is 0°C-40°C.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If your sander does not operate, check to see if the
battery pack needs to be charged.
2. If the sander does not abrade surface, checking the
sanding paper. If the sanding paper has been worn,
replace the new paper and try again. The paper must
be kept in a dry place, if it is allowed to become damp,
the abrasive particles will lose their adhesion to the
backing paper and will not abrade.
3. If the sander dose not move smoothly, The sanding
paper may be loose, damaged or
wrinkled.
Replace
and try again.
4. If a fault cannot be rectified return the sander to an
authorized dealer for repair.
