OPERATION

Rotating the sanding sheets

See Figure 10.

The majority of wear in a precision sanding application occurs at the tip of the sanding sheet. The unique Tri-Flex design of the sanding sheets allows you to detach and rotate the top two thirds of each, extending the life of the sheet.

To rotate the sheet, simply remove the top two thirds of

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

using this product for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the product using compressed air.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

CLEANING THE SCRUBBING PADS

To ensure longer life and optimum performance, periodically clean all residue and foreign materials from the scrubbing pads. This can be done simply by rinsing the pad with warm water until all foreign material has been washed away. After cleaning, gently squeeze the pad to remove excess water and allow pad to dry. Always store pads and sanding sheets flat in a cool, dry location.

WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spack- ling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend

Cleaning the Sanding Sheets

The sanding sheets that came with the sander are made to be re-used. Therefore, it is important that they be cleaned periodically to remove sanding residue and foreign material that can accumulate over time.

To clean sanding sheets, rub the sheets with a hard rubber block.

WARNING:

Always remove the scrubbing pad or sanding sheet from sander before cleaning. Failure to do so could cause serious personal injury.
