WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury user must read and understand operator’s manual.
Half-Moon Door
The sanding plate cover is equipped with an open half-moon
door which will allow the operator to sand right up to the edge
or into a corner. The edge of the brush skirt is also rotatable to
position the opening to any desired angle.
To open, first turn off and de-energize the machine, then
press the door straight down until it clicks and it will then be
free to flip up under its spring tension. Closing is the opposite
of opening.
Dust collection will not be ideal while the half-moon door
is opened, so the door should closed immediately when not
needed.
How To Use Tool
Effective control of this powerful sander requires two-handed operation for maximum safety and control.
The proper hold is to keep one hand on the main handle and the other hand on the column. It is vitally important
to keep stable footing at all times, especially when standing on scaffolding or stilts.
Sanding Operations
1.
Once the machine and vacuum cleaner are set up and all safety measures and equipment are in place, begin by
turning on the vacuum cleaner and then the machine.
(If you are using a vacuum cleaner with integrated switching,
then simply turn the machine on.)
2.
Begin sanding and carefully contact the work surface as lightly as possible-just enough to keep the sanding head
flat against the surface.
3.
The joints in the sanding head allow the sanding disc to follow the contours of the work surface.
4.
The best technique is to use overlapping sweeps and keep the head in constant motion. Never stop too long in any
one place or there will be swirl marks. With experience it will be very easy to create excellent results.
CAUTION: Always ensure that the work surface is fully dried before sanding.
A wet or semi-wet surface will overload the motor, leading to damage to the tool.
NOTE: Ensure that the sandpaper you are using is suited to the task. Overly coarse grit paper may
remove material too quickly to control. While overly fine grit paper may clog too often and not shape
down the surface.
CAUTION: Take care to avoid pointed projections and nails, etc. This will wipe out the sandpaper and
probably damage the sponge pad as well.
Maintenance
As often as is necessary, blow compressed air through the motor while running at no load to clean
out accumulated dust.
Keep Tool Clean
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp
cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
Clean the vacuum swivel connector as too much dust will keep it from turning freely.
If the replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by Intex or an
authorised service agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
WARNING: All repairs must be entrusted to an authorised service agent. Incorrectly performed
repairs could lead to injury or death.
Overload & Thermal Protection
This tool will indicate that the maximum recommended load has been reached by slowing its rotation speed.
If the operator continues to push the machine harder, it will stop. When the tool overheats, it will also automatically
stop.
See“Error Codes” below for more information.
CAUTION:
Whenever the tool overloads or overheats, always run at no load for a few minutes to allow it to
cool before continuing work.
Error Codes
NOTE:
The indicator screen can also display elapsed hours. See dealer for details.
