135W PALM SANDER EN
Note: Check the dust adapter periodically during use to
ensure it is secure on the dust outlet
4. OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE FIG D)
To start your sander, depress the on/off switch at the
position marked “I”. To stop your sander depress the on/
off switch at the position “O”
5. USING THE SANDER
Your sander is equipped with a teardrop base which
allows you to use it on large flat surfaces, as well as in
difficult and confined areas.
The workpiece must be firmly secured before
sanding. Unsecured workpieces can fly out causing
personal injury or damage.
Be sure to hold the sander firmly while 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. Do not apply too much
pressure on the sander. Applying excessive force will
reduce the life of the sanding paper and may cause
motor failure. If the stock is not being removed as fast as
you would like you may need to use a coarse grit sand
paper for quicker results..
6. FLUSH SANDING FACILITY
Your sander can sand flush on three sides of the base-
plate which allows easy access to corners and edges of
moulding.
7. ORBITAL SANDING
Your sander operates in small circular rotations 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 grit sand paper and only
move the sander in the direction of the grain and never
across the grain.
Do not allow your sander to remain in the same position
for too long. This will remove excessive stock and could
create an uneven surface.
8. SELECT THE RIGHT SAND PAPER
Selecting the correct grit of sand paper is an extremely
important decision that will allow you to achieve the best
quality finish.
A course grit sand paper will remove stock faster but
the finish will not be smooth. A fine grit sand paper will
provide a smother finish.
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. Your sander is useful for working on wood, metal,
and painted surfaces.. It will smooth surfaces prior
to painting, even where fillers have been used and
left proud.
2. Your sander is best suited to large flat areas such as
doors but can also be used on skirting walls,boards,
windows, etc provided they are accessible.
3. Different types of sanding paper will allow the
sander to meet various needs. Different grades
of sanding paper are available, the higher grade
number, the finer the grit. For rough work start
with a low grade of grit (i.e. 80 grit) and change to a
higher, finer grit (i.e. 100 or 120) for finishing. If you
use a fine grade for rough surfaces it will soon clog
and need changing.
4. At all times, let the sander do the work-do not force
it or apply excessive pressure to the sanding paper
or it could wrinkle or tear. Preferably, use a light
circular motion.
5. If the surface shows excessive making from the
abrasive motion, you may be using a grit which is
too coarse or applying too much pressure.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the power sourse 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.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
