finer grit will give you the best finish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be
sanded will determine which grit will do the job.
If the surface is rough:
Start with coarse grit (sold separately) and sand
until the surface is uniform. Then use medium
to remove any scratches left by the coarse grit.
Then use finer grit (sold separately) for finishing
the surface.
Note:
Always continue sanding with each grit
until the surface is uniform.
WORKING HINTS FOR
YOUR SANDER
1. 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.
2. Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or
clamped to prevent movement.
3. Any movement of the material may affect the
quality of the sanding finish.
4. 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.
5. Do not start sanding without having the
sandpaper fitted.
6. Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it
will damage the base-plate. The guarantee
does not cover base-plate wear and tear.
7. Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces,
medium grit for smooth surfaces and ine grit
for the final surfaces. If necessary, first make
a test run on scrap material.
8. Use only good quality sandpaper.
9. The sandpaper controls the sanding
efficiency, not the amount of force you apply
to he tool. Excessive force will reduce the
sanding efficiency and cause motor overload.
Replacing the sandpaper 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION
Waste electrical products must not be
disposed of with household waste. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with
your Local Authority or retailer for recycling
advice.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If your sander will not operate, check the
power at the mains plug.
2. If the sander does not abrade surface,
checking the sanding paper. If the sanding paper
has been worn, replace the new paper and try
again. The paper must be kept in a dry place,
if it is allowed to become damp, the abrasive
particles will lose their adhesion to the backing
paper and will not abrade.
3. If the sander dose not move smoothly, The
sanding paper may be loose, damaged or
wrinkled. Replace and try again.
4. If a fault can not be rectified return the sander
to an authorized dealer for repair.
