SANDING OPERATIONS
Once the machine and vacuum cleaner are set up and all safety measures and equipment are in
place, begin by turning on the vacuum cleaner and then the machine. (If you are using a vacuum
cleaner with integrated switching, then simply turn the machine on.) Begin sanding and carefully
contact the work surface as lightly as possible-just enough to keep the sanding head flat against
the surface. The joints in the sanding head allow the sanding disc to follow the contours of the
work surface. The best technique is to use overlapping sweeps and keep the head in constant
motion. Never stop too long in any one place or there will be swirl marks. With experience it will be
very easy to create excellent results.
NOTE: Ensure that the sandpaper you are using is suited to the task. Overly coarse grit paper
may remove material too quickly to control. While overly fine grit paper may clog too often
and not shape down the surface.
CAUTION: Take care to avoid pointed projections and nails, etc. This will wipe out the
sandpaper and probably damage the sponge pad as well.
MAINTENANCE
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air. Clean the vacuum swivel connector as too much
dust will keep it from turning freely.
THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and must be replaced when they reach their wear
limit. When the brushes are worn to a length of 1/4", they should be replaced.
¼ IN (6 mm)
NOTE: Checking and replacing the carbon brushes should be entrusted to a qualified service
center.
