Operation - Evolution DWS 225 Manuel D'instruction

The Articulated Swivel Sanding Head
The Swivel Sanding Head is attached to
the main tube of the machine by a type of
Universal Joint. This allows the Swivel Head
to swivel in multiple directions.
When in use the abrasive disc can
effectively 'float' over the work surface.
This action enables the user to sweep
the work surface from top to bottom if
necessary with minimal changes to their
stance and foot position, allowing greater
security and better balance for the operator.

OPERATION

Holding the Dry Wall Sander
The Dry Wall Sander should always be held
with both hands. Four (4) hand grip areas
(Fig. 11) are provided along the main tube.
Hold the machine with the most convenient of
these hand grip areas, positioning your hands
to provide the best combination of reach and
leverage for the intended application.

Note: Although the sander is a light weight
design, the user should be aware that
prolonged use can cause operator muscle
fatigue. We recommend a maximum
operator duty cycle of 15 minutes, after
which the operator should rest for 5 minutes
before resuming sanding operations.
Operator Stance
The operator should adopt a comfortable
stance with their feet apart and firmly
balanced.
EF225DWSLED DWS DFI.indd 13
Both feet should be on the ground or floor.
It is not acceptable to have one foot on the
floor and the other on a stand or ladder rung
etc. as this precludes the operator from
achieving a proper balanced stance.
Caution: If 'reach' or access considerations
necessitate the use by the operator of a
stand - on platform, such a platform must
be suitable and stable in use e.g. a folding
inside scaffold or 'hop on' work platform.
The operator must NEVER overstretch.
SANDING – Operating Advice
GB
• Connect the dust extraction hose to
the vacuum extraction unit.
• Adjust the Dry Wall Sander so that it
is the correct length for the sanding
operations to be undertaken.
• Turn on the extraction unit.
• Adopt a comfortable stance,
holding the Sander by the two
most convenient hand grips.
• Turn on the Sander, and if required the
LED Torch.
• Position the Dry Wall Sander Swivel
Head lightly against the work surface,
and apply just enough pressure to align
the Swivel Head with the work surface.
• Gently apply more pressure to engage
the rotating abrasive disc onto the
work surface.
• Move the Sander across the work
surface in long overlapping sweeps.
Apply only enough pressure to keep
the abrasive disc flat against the work
surface. Excessive pressure should be
avoided as it can cause swirl marks and
unevenness in the work surface.
• Keep the Sander in constant motion whilst
the abrasive disc is in contact with the
work surface. Use a steady, sweeping
motion, allowing the rotating abrasive disc
to 'float' over the work surface. Moving the
Sander erratically or concentrating for too
long on one area can cause swirl marks or
unevenness in the work surface.
