B) EMPTY THE CYCLONIC DUST BOX (See
Fig E2 E3)
For more efficient operation, empty the cyclonic
dust box every 5-10mins. This will permit the air
to flow through the box better.
To empty the box, press the latching lever in and
pull off the box. Then press the button at the rear
of the box to open it, and shake out dust.
3. OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE
FIG. F)
Slide the on/off switch to the position marked”I”
to start the machine.
Slide it to the position marked “0” to stop it.
4. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (SEE FIG. G)
With the variable speed control (1), the required
speed can be selected (also while running).
The required speed is dependent on the material
and is to be determined by a practical trial.
After longer periods of working at low speed,
allow the machine to cool down by running it for
approx. 3 minutes at maximum speed with no
load.
5. USING THE SANDER
The workpiece to be sanded must be secured. If
it is small or it may move during sanding, it must
be held in a vice or suitably clamped.
Be sure to hold the sander firmly whilst it is on
and apply it gently to the work, it may “kick” on
first contact. Hold the sander so that it is flat
on the work and move slowly, preferably with
a smooth, circular motion. Regularly check the
condition of the sanding paper and replace when
worn for best results.
6. FLUSH SANDING FACILITY
Your sander can sand flush on three sides of the
baseplate which allows easy access to corners
and edges of mouldings.
7. ORBITAL SANDING
Your sander operates in small a circular rotation
which allows efficient material removal. Operate
your sander in long sweeping movements across
your workpiece and even across the grain. For
a finer finish, always use a fine grain sanding
paper and only move the sander in the direction
of the grit and never across the grain. Do not
allow your sander to remain in the same position
otherwise you will remove material and create an
uneven surface.
8.SELECT THE RIGHT SAND PAPER
Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an
extremely important decision that will allow you
to achieve the best quality sanding finish.
Coarse grit will remove the most material and
