WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR SANDER
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the
speed to maximum and run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid
prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always use sand paper that is suitable for
the material you want to sand.
Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.
Start your sander before sanding and turn it off only after you stop sanding. For
the best results, sand wood in the direction of the grain.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.
Do not allow the sand paper to wear away it will damage the base-plate. The
guarantee does not cover base-plate wear and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces
and fine grit for the final surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap
material.
Use only good quality sand paper.
The sand paper controls the sanding efficiency, not the amount of force you apply
to the tool. Excessive force will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor
overload. Replacing the sand paper regularly will maintain optimum sanding
efficiency.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user
serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry
place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will
not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
