HAND HELD DRYWALL SANDER
Sanding Head Suction Regulator Control
(Fig. 7)
Fig. 7
The Suction Control Regulator allows the
operator to adjust the power of the suction
provided by the inbuilt dust extraction system.
Extra air can be allowed into the Sanding
Head, reducing the suction power. This may
be necessary as at maximum suction the
Sanding Head may become difficult to move
or sweep over the work surface. Regulating
the volume of air admitted to the Sanding
Head can reduce operator workload by
reducing the effort required to sweep the
Sanding Head over the work surface.
To adjust the suction:
• Rotate the Regulator counter clockwise
fully, for reduced suction.
• Rotate the Regulator clockwise fully for
maximum suction.
Note: The Regulator has three (3) positive
stop positions.
The Sprung Sanding Head
The Sanding Head is attached to the
machine by four (4) sprung loaded pins.
This allows the Sanding Head to move
slightly in multiple directions.
When in use the Sanding Head can
effectively 'float' over the work surface
compensating automatically for uneven
wall surfaces. This action enables the user
to sweep the work surface with minimal
changes to their stance and foot position,
allowing greater security and better balance
for the operator.
