Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques,
it is unlikely that your RONA power tool is
faulty or that a part is missing. If you find
anything wrong, do not operate the tool until
the parts have been replaced or the fault has
been rectified. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
Switching on and off
1. Connect the plug to the power supply.
2. Push the right-hand side “
I ” of the sealed
on/off switch (3) to start the motor.
3. Push the left-hand side “ O ” of the sealed
on/off switch (3) to stop the motor.
4. Hold the tool securely and make sure that
you have full control at all times.
Using the sander
1. Grip the main handle (5) in one hand and
push down on the auxiliary handle (1) with
the other hand. Be sure to hold the sanding
surface parallel to the work.
2. Do not press down heavily. This will slow
down the motor and could damage it.
3. Let the sandpaper do the work.
4. Take care that the whole base is resting
on the workpiece when you switch on the
sander. After switching off, keep the base on
the sander until the motor stops.
WARNING. Do not use the sander in wet or
damp conditions.
Fitting a sanding sheet
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and the plug is removed from the
power point before making any adjustments or
maintenance procedures.
1. Before fitting sandpaper, remove any dust or
debris from the hooks and loops of the base.
2. Match the holes in a suitable sheet with the
holes in the base.
3. Simply press the sheet to the base to
attach it.
4. To remove the sheet, peel it away from
the base.
CAUTION. Take care to regularly clean out the
build up of dust on the base underneath the
sandpaper and not to let the sandpaper wear
completely down before replacing it. Failure
to observe these two precautionary measures
can lead to damage to the hooks and loops on
the platen and the sandpaper will not attach
properly.
WARNING. Never use the sander unless the
entire base is fitted with sandpaper or another
type of pad.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATION
Adjusting the speed
The speed can be adjusted to suit the material
being sanded.
To adjust the speed, move the variable speed
control (4) until you are satisfied that the speed
is what you need for the job in hand.
Adjusting the auxiliary handle
The sander has two handles, the main handle
(5) with rubber grip and the auxiliary handle (1)
which can be adjusted to suit the operator’s
needs.
1. To adjust the auxiliary handle (1) loosen the
auxiliary handle lock (2) enough so that you
can easily move the handle into the desired
position.
2. Re-tighten the auxiliary handle lock (2).
Selecting the right grade of
sandpaper
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and the plug is removed from the
power point before making any adjustments or
maintenance procedures.
• Different grades of sandpaper can be
purchased from your local hardware store.
Available grades are: Coarse, Medium and Fine.
• Use a coarse grit to sand down rough
finishes, medium grit to smooth the work
and fine grit to finish off.
• It is best to make a trial run on a scrap
piece of material to determine the optimum
grade of sandpaper for a particular job.
If there are still marks on your work after
sanding, try either going back to a coarser
grade and sanding the marks out before
recommencing with the original choice of
grit, or try using a new piece of sandpaper
to eliminate the unwanted marks before
going on to a finer grit and finishing the job.
WARNING.
Do not use the same sanding
sheet for wood and metal. Metal particles
become embedded in the sandpaper and will
scour a wooden surface.
Dust extraction
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and the plug is removed from the
power point before making any adjustments or
maintenance procedures.
1. Attach the dust canister (6) to the dust
extraction port (7) of the sander by pushing
and twisting the bayonet fitting.
WARNING.
For optimum dust extraction,
remove and empty the canister (6) when
it is no more than half full. Do not use the
canister (6) when sanding metal. The hot metal
