MAINTENANCE
Always inspect the sander before use and ensure it is in top condition.
Ensure all air vents are clear. (Use compressed air to clean the machine where
possible).
Check the power cable to ensure it is sound and free from cracks, bare wires
etc. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, (most plastics are
susceptible to damage from the various types of commercial solvents).
All bearings etc., in this tool are lubricated with sufficient high grade lubricant
for the machine’s lifetime under normal operating conditions, therefore no
further lubrication is required.
TROUBLESHOOTING
SANDER IS OVERHEATING
Overheating indicates the machine is blocked with dust. Clean the ventilation
holes, and blow out with compressed air. Wipe the exterior with a dry cloth.
Overloading the machine will also cause overheating. Do not use for heavy
duty work and do not apply excessive pressure.
EXCESSIVE SPARKING
This indicates worn brushes. This problem is easily remedied but you should
consult your CLARKE dealer for parts and advice.
SANDER DOES NOT OPERATE WHEN SWITCHED ON
Check to ensure the fuse in the plug is sound and replace if necessary. If the
fuse is sound or blows repeatedly, consult your CLARKE dealer.
DUST IS NOT EXTRACTED
The dust bag is full or the dust extractor flue is blocked, This is usually caused by
allowing the bag to become too full. Remove and empty the bag, also clear
any blockage.
