the prevention of accidents, health and safety
directives, laws and applicable restrictions for work
places
►
The sander must only be used by persons
who have been instructed in its use and only for the
purposes for which it has been designed.
POWER SUPPLY.
►
Make sure the power supply is adapted to the
requirements shown on the information panel of
the sander (1)
►
Using the motor at low voltage
will make it operate slowly
►
This will reduce
performance and may cause the motor to overheat.
EXTENSION CORD.
►
If the working area is at some distance from the
power supply, use an extension cord of enough
diameter and quality.
OPERATION.
►
To turn the sander on, press the power switch
(2)
►
Move the sander in long sweeping strokes
along the surface being sanded, letting the sander
do the work (3)
►
Pushing down on the sander
slows the removal rate and produces an inferior
quality surface (4)
►
Never operate with the sander
inclined, this can damage the base and break the
sandpaper (5)
►
Be sure to check your work often
►
This sander is capable of removing material
rapidly, especially with coarse paper
►
To produce
the best finish possible, start with coarse grit
sandpaper and change gradually to finer and finer
paper
►
A final sanding with a piece of well-worn
fine sandpaper will produce a professional looking
finish that in many cases will need no hand sanding
at all
►
The rate at which the dust collection bag
will fill up will vary with the type of material being
sanded and the coarseness of the sandpaper
►
For
best results, empty the bag frequently and check
the opening for clogging
►
When sanding painted
surfaces, you may find that the sandpaper loads up
and clogs with paint
►
A heat gun will work much
better to remove paint before sanding
►
Avoid
overloading the sander
►
Overloading will result in
a considerable reduction in speed and efficiency
and the sander will become hot
►
In this event, run
sander at a no-load condition for a minute or two.
ATTACHING THE SANDPAPER.
►
Turn off and unplug the sander before making
any adjustment or removing or installing
attachments or accessories
►
Release the clamp
by pulling up the lever (6)
►
Insert the sanding
paper under the front clamp until it hits the
paper-limiting ribs (7)
►
Close the front clamp (8)
►
Stretch the sanding paper over the sanding pad
and insert under the opposite clamp in the same
way (9, 10).
DUST EXTRACTION.
►
The sander includes a integrated dust collector.
TO EMPTY DUST COLLECTOR.
►
While holding the sander and remove the dust
collector cup
►
Gently shake or tap the dust
collector to empty
►
Put again the cup in the dust
collector
►
Sanding dust exhaust may create a
breathing hazard.
PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN SANDING
PAINT.
►
Sanding of lead based paint is not
recommended due to the difficulty of controlling
the contaminated dust
►
The greatest danger of
lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL.
►
All surfaces in the work area should be
vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the
duration of the sanding project
►
Vacuum filter
bags should be changed frequently.
MAINTENANCE.
►
The sander has been designed for a long working
life with minimum maintenance
►
Optimum use
depends on correct care of the sander and regular
cleaning
►
To prevent accidents, always unplug
the sander from the power source before cleaning
or performing any maintenance
►
The sander may
be cleaned effectively using compressed air after
each use
►
If compressed air is not available, use
a brush to remove dust from the sander
►
Motor
ventilation vents and switch levers must be dept
clean and free of foreign matter
►
Do not attempt
to clean by inserting pointed objects through
openings
►
Cetain cleaning agents and solvents
damage plastic parts, among them are gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents,
ammonia and household cleaners containing
ammonia
►
Do not use any of these to clean the
sander
►
Should excessive sparking occur, have a
Werku
®
official repair service exam and/or replace
the carbon brushes.
