TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE

Keep the Drywall Sander dry during transport and storage. Do not allow anything to press against the abrasive pad. The pad might deform, causing it to sand unevenly. If the pad cannot be protected during transport or storage: remove the abrasive pad and store it separately.

MAINTENANCE

KEEP TOOL CLEAN

Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.

CAUTION: Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.

FAILURE TO START

Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit breakers in the line.

LUBRICATION

This tool has been lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. No further lubrication is necessary.
