4.3. SWITCHING ON AND OFF
4.3.1. Connect the Power Cord to the mains power supply.
4.3.2.
Push the On/Off Switch in to the ‘I’ position, to switch the sander ‘on’.
4.3.3.
To switch ‘off’ the sander, push the On/Off switch in to the ‘O’ position.
4.3.4. Adjust the rpm speed by using the
rpm+
&
rpm
-
buttons (fig.1). Speeds range from 4,000rpm to 10,000rpm, each press increases
+
or decreases
-
by 1,000rpm.
4.3.5.
Once the desired speed is set, push down the lever (fig.1) and the tool will start slowly, then quickly get up to speed, ready to use.
WARNING:
Always wait until the machine has stopped vibrating completely before putting it down. Always disconnect from the
power supply after use.
4.4.
SANDING
4.4.1.
If the tool is connected to a vacuum dust extraction system, switch the extraction device ‘on’ before switching on the sander. Switch
the sander ‘off’ first, then the vacuum system.
4.4.2. Move the machine in a circular motion over the workpiece surface, applying an even, moderate pressure until you reach the desired
surface finish.
WARNING:
Excessive pressure does not lead to a faster removal of material; it will, however, lead to premature wear of the sanding
disc, and may cause damage to the machine.
4.4.3.
If there are still scratches on your workpiece after sanding, refer to ‘Selecting
the right grade of sanding disc’.
