Operation
Switching on and off
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles, an adequate dust mask, hearing
protection and suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
WARNING: Never switch the sander on when the base is in contact with the
workpiece or any other surface, as this might cause the operator to lose control
over the machine, and lead to serious injury.
1. Connect the sander to the mains power supply
2. Squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch (1) located below the main handle, to
switch the sander on
3. Release the trigger switch to switch the sander off
Note: If you wish the sander to remain on, squeeze the On/Off Trigger Switch
(1), then push the Lock-On Button (2) and release the trigger. The machine will
continue to operate until the trigger switch is squeezed again, whereby the lock-on
button is released.
WARNING: Always wait until the machine has stopped vibrating completely before
putting it down. Always disconnect from the power supply after use.
Sanding
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles, an adequate dust mask, hearing
protection and suitable gloves, when working with this sander.
Note: DO NOT continue to use worn, torn, or heavily clogged sanding sheets.
Ensure foreign objects, such as nails and screws, are removed from the workpiece
before commencing sanding.
WARNING: DO NOT use a sanding sheet on wood that has previously been used on
metal. This may cause scouring on the wooden surface. DO NOT use this sander
for sanding magnesium, or for wet sanding.
WARNING: NEVER touch the moving sanding sheet.
Note: Always use clamps to secure your workpiece to the workbench wherever
possible.
1. Grip both, the Main Handle (6) and Front Handle (7) firmly, and switch the
sander on
2. Move the machine in a circular motion over the workpiece surface, applying
an even, moderate pressure (Fig. D). until you reach the desired surface finish
Note: Apply moderate pressure only. Excess pressure will not lead to a faster
removal of material, but will damage the sanding sheet and the machine.
3. If there are still scratches on your workpiece after sanding, try either of the following:
• Return to a coarser grit sanding sheet and sand the marks out before
recommencing with the original choice of sanding sheet or,
• Try using a new sanding sheet of the same grit to eliminate the unwanted
marks before progressing to a finer grit and finishing the job
WARNING: Do not allow the sandpaper to completely wear down before replacing
it. Failure to observe these precautionary measures can lead to damage to the
hook and loop surfaces, resulting in sanding sheets failing to attach properly.
