OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
2. Make sure the control switch is set to "OFF". For the
"OFF" position, the switch is actuated towards the
operator. See the markings on the switch. Connect the
supply cable to the motor electric cable. (Figure 5)
3. With the machine in the reclined position firmly grasp
both handles and activate the control switch "ON".
4. Gradually lower pad to surface intended for sanding.
Make sure the machine is in motion while the pad is
engaged with the surface to be sanded. You may use
broad circular motion as you sand along the length of
the surface or your may use a combination of forward
and sideward motions. In time you will develop your
own technique to optimize coverage and dust recovery.
It is advisable to not add effort to the pad as this may
lead to "nosing in" or "tipping" which produces grooves
or lines on the surface.
5. When replacing abrasive, emptying the contents of the
dust bag, or sanding operation is completed, return
machine to reclined position, deactivate the control
switch to "OFF" then disconnect the motor electric cable
from the supply cable.
6. Empty dust bag whenever it becomes 1/3 full.
DANGER: Failure to disconnect the supply cable
from machine whenever servicing,
replacing abrasive, or emptying the
dust bag could result in electrocution
or severe injury. Never leave machine
unattended while the supply cable is
connected.
DANGER: Never leave dust bag unattended with
sanding dust in it. Sanding dust can
self ignite and cause a fire or explosion.
Empty dust bag into a metal container, clear of
any combustibles. Do not empty content
into a fire. Do not overfill dust bag.

ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES

Leveling
To level machine: Place screwdriver in slot on caster stem to
prevent rotation. Use a 3/4 wrench to loosen locknut (see
Figure 6).
Condition - Pad creates ridges on both edges or a "hop" is
experienced: Rotate both stems equal amounts clockwise.
Tighten locknuts and test on a piece of plywood. Repeat
procedure until condition is corrected. We recommend you not
exceed 1/8" rotation for each attempt.
Condition - Pad creates a ridge on the tip of the pad: Rotate
both stems counter clockwise, tighten locknuts and test.
Repeat procedure until condition is corrected. Use only 1/8
rotation for each attempt.
Condition - Pad creates a ridge on only one side of the pad:
Either rotate the stem of the side effected clockwise or rotate
the stem opposite conterclockwise, depending on whether the
ridge terminates beyond the tip of the pad or prior to it. If it is
prior to the tip, adjust the side effected, otherwise adjust the
opposite side.
Belt Tension
The design of the belt allows it to deliver the power with very
little tenstion. The tension should be great enough to prevent
slippage and wear. Excessive tension will only shorten
bearing and belt life.
