3. All moving parts (sandpaper, shafts and motor) must have enough space to move freely.
4. Wait for the sandpaper to reach its maximum speed before starting to operate (about 2 seconds).
5. The motor must rotate counterclockwise, as well as the sanding disc.
6. Do not force the workpiece excessively on any surface of the sandpaper.
7. Always support the workpiece when sanding.
8. Do not try to quickly push a corner of a workpiece against the sandpaper. This can cause a bump
that can result in serious personal injury.
9.
The Stop or Quick Stop Lever is installed on the upper rear part of the tape file to break the disc
after the machine is turned off. Do not attempt to use this device while the machine is running.
10. When sanding small workpieces or with convex edges, disc sanding is the best option to achieve
good results.
11. Move the piece to the left side for the sandpaper to pull the material down.
12. Always use the table to support the workpiece. Do not operate this sandpaper freehand.
13. For accurate work, use the Angle Guide.
14. When sanding long pieces, do not apply pressure to the entire surface along the piece. Apply
pressure only to the area over the sandpaper, removing material. Consult the MAKSIWA catalog
for information on other equipment to support long parts.
15. The workpiece must be passed equally across its surface by sandpaper.
16. To make accurate 90º angles, make sure that the table and the sandpaper are perfectly square.
ATTENTION: This equipment is not designed to remove heavy burrs. Finishing ferrous metals can
generate sparks that can cause fire. To prevent this possibility, remove the dust collector assembly,
remove all dust or wood sawdust that may have accumulated around and in the machine itself. In
addition, mixing dust from ferrous and non-ferrous materials can create a dangerous environment.
