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 film 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 floor 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/abrasive.
3. Connect the machine to an appropriately fused
and grounded circuit.
4. Release the handle by pressing up on the locking
lever. 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. Push the interlock button (1), and apply
pressure to the levers (2). To stop the machine,
release the levers (2). See figure 6.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the flooring
and to reduce swirling, keep the
machine in motion while the motor
is running.
NOTE: For sanding cuts and sandpaper, see page 9.
