Changing A Sanding Sheet
The sanding sheet and sanding pad are
provided with a hook and loop attachment
system to allow quick and easy changing of
sanding and polishing sheets.
Prior to attaching a new sanding sheet,
ensure that the hook and loop surfaces of
the sanding pad and chosen sanding sheet
are clean and free of dust.
FAILURE TO
ENSURE THE SANDING PAD HOOK
AND LOOP SYSTEM IS CLEAN
AND DUST FREE WILL RESULT IN
SHORTENED PAD LIFE!
NOTE
To attach a new sheet:
m
Align the edge of the disc with the edge of
the pad, and ensure the sheet is centered in
the plate.
m
Apply pressure to the disc, ensuring it is
securely fixed across the entire sanding pad.
To remove a disc:
m
Lift one corner of the sanding disc and pull
off from the sanding pad.
Adjusting Speed
m
Disc speed can be varied by rotating the
speed adjustment wheel.
m
The wheel allows fine control between
minimum (7000rpm) and maximum
(14000rpm) speeds.
The correct speed for your application will
depend on grade, material and pressure
applied. Always test new settings on a scrap
piece of material if possible.
NOTE
The tool may become hot at low speeds. To
aid in cooling the motor, periodically set the
speed to a higher value and run the tool with
no load.
NOTE
Dust Suction
m
Efficiency and durability of sandpaper are
much improved by dust suction through the
apertures in the disc and sandpaper.
m
The Dust Collector Bag must be emptied
regularly.
