OPERATION
With the mains cable disconnected from the mains supply, select the abrasive paper
appropriate for the job in hand, and attach it to the Base Plate, by releasing the two spring
clips - one for each end.
Align the abrasive sheet so that the holes are perfectly aligned with those in the base plate,
and bend the ends over, securing at each end with the spring clip.
It is important that the abrasive sheet should be taught and not sag.
If required, attach the dust extractor adapter by pushing the end into the orifice at the rear
of the tool until it locks into place. The vacuum dust extractor may then be attached to it.
The ON/OFF trigger switch is located under the grip.
DO NOT plug in to the mains, unless you have ensured the tool is switched OFF. To do this,
pull the switch fully upwards, and then release it.
To switch the machine ON, pull the trigger switch and hold in position. A button lock is
provided on the side of the handle which may be used for prolonged use. Simply push it in
with the trigger pressed then release the trigger.
To release the switch lock, and switch OFF, pull the trigger switch a second time.
GENERAL HINTS FOR SANDING
Always use abrasive paper that is in top condition, worn paper will cause damage to the
base plate. Please note, that base plates are NOT covered by the warranty.
When starting, ALWAYS place the sander on the work BEFORE switching ON. This will prevent
the work from being badly scored, because if the tool is placed on the work after switching
on, it will be running at high speed, and almost impossible to place on the work smoothly
and evenly.
Move the machine evenly and smoothly over the surface of the work, with only light pressure,
evenly spread on the front hand post, and the handle. This helps to expel dust particles,
and produce an even finish, and will also prolong the life of the abrasive paper.
Let the machine do the work. Ensure the tool is flat on the work surface and DO NOT apply
excessive downwards pressure, as this will not only produce an uneven finish, but will overload
the motor causing it to burn out.
Be cautious when sanding off the end of a workpiece, as the paper could come off the
base plate, damaging the pad in the process.
