REMOVE THE SANDING PAPER
Simply remove the sanding paper directly.
3. OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE FIG. F)
Slide the on/off switch to the position marked"I" to start
the machine.
Slide it to the position marked "0" to stop it.
4. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (SEE FIG. G)
With the variable speed control (1), the required speed can
be selected (also while running).
The required speed is dependent on the material and is to
be determined by a practical trial.
After longer periods of working at low speed, allow the
machine to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes
at maximum speed with no load.
5. USING THE SANDER
The workpiece to be sanded must be secured. If it is small
or it may move during sanding, it must be held in a vice or
suitably clamped.
Be sure to hold the sander firmly whilst it is on and apply
it gently to the work, it may "kick" on first contact. Hold
the sander so that it is flat on the work and move slowly,
preferably with a smooth, circular motion. Regularly check
the condition of the sanding paper and replace when worn
for best results.
6. FLUSH SANDING FACILITY
Your sander can sand flush on three sides of the baseplate
which allows easy access to corners and edges of mouldings.
7. ORBITAL SANDING
Your sander operates in small a circular rotation which
allows efficient material removal. Operate your sander in
long sweeping movements across your workpiece and
even across the grain. For a finer finish, always use a
fine grain sanding paper and only move the sander in the
direction of the grit and never across the grain. Do not
allow your sander to remain in the same position otherwise
you will remove material and create an uneven surface.
8.Select the right sand paper
Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an extremely
important decision that will allow you to achieve the best
quality sanding finish.
Coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit
will give you the best finish in all sanding operations. The
condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which
grit will do the job.
If the surface is rough:
Start with coarse grit (sold separately) and sand until
the surface is uniform. Then use medium to remove any
scratches left by the coarse grit. Then use finer grit (sold
separately) for finishing the surface.
Note: Always continue sanding with each grit until the
surface is uniform.
