sanding
Clamp or otherwise secure your workpiece to prevent it from moving under the sander
while being sanded.
warning:
An unsecured workpiece could be thrown toward the operator causing injury.
Place the sander on the workpiece so that the complete sandpaper surface is in contact
with the workpiece. Turn the sander ON as described above. Move the sander slowly over
workpiece making successive passes in parallel lines, circles, or crosswise movements.
Because the orbital motion of the sanding pad moves in tiny circles, it is not necessary to
move the sander with the grain or in the same direction for successive passes.
Upon completion of the sanding operation, turn the sander OFF by pressing on the
opposite side of the ON/OFF switch. Wait until the sanding pad comes to a complete
stop before removing it from the workpiece.
warning:
Your sander should only be turned ON when the entire surface of the
sanding pad is in contact with the workpiece. Failure to follow this sanding procedure
could result in loose sandpaper which could result in possible injury.
note: Hold the sander using the grip on top of the sander. Be careful NOT to cover the
motor cooling vents with your hand. Motor damage may occur from over heating if the
cooling vents are covered.
do not force tHe sander. The weight of the sander usually provides adequate
pressure. Let the sander and the sandpaper do the work. Applying added pressure will
slow the motor, increase the wear on the sandpaper and greatly reduce the sander speed.
Motor damage may occur if excessive downward pressure is applied. It will also create an
inferior finish on sanded work. Any finish or resin on wood will soften from the frictional heat,
causing the sandpaper to become clogged very quickly. Do not sand in one spot too long
as the sander’s rapid action may remove too much material, making the surface uneven.
Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the motor. If this occurs, turn sander
OFF, wait until the sanding pad comes to a complete stop and remove it from the
workpiece. Check to make sure your hand has not been covering the cooling vents. Let
the motor cool before continuing the sanding operation.
