Generally, you should use higher speeds for fast stock removal and lower speeds for more precise control.
THE HALF-MOON DOOR
The sanding plate cover is equipped with an openable half-
moon door which will allow the operator to sand right up to the
edge or into a corner. The edge of the dust 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 THE TOOL
Effective control of this powerful saw 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 sponge grip 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.
