sanding paper, insert approximately 5mm
of one end of the sanding paper under the
sanding paper clamp until the paper contacts
the housing wall (See C.2). Lift up the clamp
lever and move it to the lever lock position.
Press the sanding paper around the base plate
shape as tight as possible and fix the end
under the other sanding paper clamp. Check
the sanding paper is square to the baseplate
.If not correct., remove and refit it again .
Always, ensure the sanding paper is tight
over the baseplate and secured underneath
both locked clamps. This will ensure safe and
efficient sanding performance.
6 CHANGING HOOK & LOOP SANDING
PAPER
The sanding paper and baseplate are provided
with a hook and loop attachment system to
allow quick and easy changing of the sanding
and polishing accessories. Remove any dust
or other objects from the hook and loop on
the baseplate and sanding paper. Position the
sanding paper evenly on the baseplate and
firmly press down to attach them together. If
the sanding paperhas dust extraction holes
you must align these with the holes in the
baseplate, otherwise the dust extraction will
not function. To remove the sanding paper lift
one corner of the paper and pull it off from the
baseplate (See C.3).
7. PAPER PUNCH
If using sanding paper without dust holes,
use the paper punch to perforate the holes to
ensure correct dust extraction. Position the
punch (10) over the baseplate with the punch
sides on the edges of the baseplate (See D).
Press the punch into the baseplate to punch
holes into the sanding paper. Then remove
the punch and check all the holes have been
formed correctly.
8. DUST BAG
Always operate your sander with the dust bag
fitted. For the best performance always empty
the dust bag in time. Open the zip and empty
the dust from the bag. To remove the bag,
slide the mounting bracket out and away from
the sander (See E.1). To refit the bag, firmly
push the mounting bracket into the location
on the sander housing (See E.2).
9. FLUSH SANDING FACILITY
Your sander can sand flush on three sides of
the baseplate which allows easy access to
corners and edges of mouldings (See F).
10. ORBITAL SANDING
Your sander operates in small circular
rotations which allows efficient material
removal. Operate your sander in long
sweeping movements across your workpiece
and even across the grain. For a finer finish,
always use a fine grain sanding paper and
only move the sander in the direction of the
grit and never across the grain. Do not allow
your sander to remain in the same position
otherwise you will remove material and create
an uneven surface.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
FINISHING 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.
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.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it
will damage the base-plate. The guarantee
does not cover base-plate wear and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces,
medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit
for the final surfaces. If necessary, first make a
test run on scrap material.
Use only good quality sandpaper.
