SANDING

Your tool is equipped with a teardrop base which allows you to use it on large flat surfaces and tight spots or corners. The pad tips may wear unevenly, depending on use. The pads are designed to allow you to interchange and /or rotate the diamond tip.

• To switch the tool on, press the variable speed switch. The tool speed depends on how far you press the switch.

• To switch the tool off, release the variable speed switch.

NOTE: This attachment only operates in the forward direction, the forward/reverse slider of the Power Unit should not be able to be switched to reverse.

NOTE: Do not rest fingers on platen during use. Move it in long sweeping strokes across the surface, letting it do the work. Light pressure is all that is required for sanding. Excessive pressure will slow the tool and produce inferior results. Check your work often, product is capable of removing material rapidly. Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing the sanding sheet regularly will maintain optimum working efficiency. NOTE: Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.
