OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - SANDING
To operate the machine as a sander, follow this procedure:
1
Move machine to work location. Decide the best approach to
sanding the desired area. When sanding the area, work so that
you are moving away from the power supply. This will help to
avoid entanglement with the power cord and reduce the need to
move the power cord as frequently.
2
Install the abrasive. Use the same procedure outlined in
MACHINE SETUP for installing the pad. To install the abrasive,
peel the fi lm off the back of the abrasive; center the abrasive
over the pad and press it against the pad. The adhesive on the
abrasive will hold it to the pad.
NOTE: When using screen abrasive, set the screen on the fl oor
then move the machine over the screen. Lower the machine until
the pad comes to rest on the screen. Make sure the screen is
centered on the pad.
WARNING!
Injury can occur if the machine is connected to a power source
while installing the pad or abrasive. Disconnect the machine before
installing the pad or abrasive.
3
Connect the machine to an appropriately fused and grounded
circuit.
4
Release the handle by pushing down on the Handle Release
Compression Lever (4). Bring the handle to a comfortable
position.
CAUTION!
Do not lock the handle. Locking the handle will prevent the machine
from resting evenly on the pad and diminish the machine performance
and reliability.
5
See Figure 3. Push the Switch Lever Safety Lock Button (2),
and apply pressure to the Switch Levers (3). To stop the machine,
release the Switch Levers (3).
CAUTION!
To prevent damage to the fl ooring and to reduce swirling, keep the
machine in motion while the motor is running.
