Sanding
1.The sander can be used for most sanding operations on materials such as wood, plastic, metal and painted surfaces.
2.Wear safety goggles a dust mask and ear muffs.
3.Switch the sander on whilst it is resting on the workpiece. Take care to hold the whole area of the platen on the work.
4.Move the sander over the surface of the work in a circular motion with an even, moderate pressure.
5.For a cleaner working
environment you can use the dust extraction adaptor.
The dust extraction adaptor
(5)has a bayonet fitting, insert it and twist to tighten, then attach it to a dust extraction unit.
CAUTION. Where possible,
clamp smaller workpieces to the bench.
NOTE. If there are still scratches on your work after sanding, try either of the following:
1.Go back to a coarser grit and sand the marks out before recommencing with the original choice or,
2.Try using new sandpaper of the same grit to eliminate the unwanted marks before progressing to a finer grit and finishing the job.
Cleaning
1.Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2.Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a rag.
3.Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the sander. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended. Water must never come into contact with the sander.
Maintenance
All the bearings are sealed ball bearings, lubricated for life, and require no maintenance.
Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time.
Power cord maintenance
If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
