5.WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR SANDER
1. If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maxi-
mum and run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low
speeds. Always use sand paper that is suitable for the material you want to sand.
2. Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
3. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.
4. Start your sander before sanding and turn it off only after you stop sanding. For the best results,
sand wood in the direction of the grain.
5. Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.
6. Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it will damage the base-plate. The guarantee does not
cover base-plate wear and tear.
7. Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and ine grit for
the final surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap material.
8. Use only good quality sandpaper.
9. The sandpaper controls the sanding efficiency, not the amount of force you apply to he tool. Ex-
cessive force will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing the sandpa-
per regularly will maintain optimum sanding efficiency.
6.MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners
to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a
dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not
damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
7.TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If your sander will not operate, check the power at the mains plug.
2. If the sander does not abrade surface, checking the sanding paper. If the sanding paper has
been worn, replace the new paper and try again. The paper must be kept in a dry place, if it is al-
lowed to become damp, the abrasive particles will lose their adhesion to the backing paper and
will not abrade.
3. If the sander dose not move smoothly, The sanding paper may be loose, damaged or wrin-
kled. Replace and try again.
4. If a fault can not be rectified return the sander to an authorized dealer for repair.
