Selecting the right sandpaper grit size
• Depending on the task at hand, the operator may select coarse, medium or fine sandpaper grit size.
• Use coarse grits to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work and fine grit to finish off.
• The higher the grade number, the finer the grit. For rough work start with a low grade of grit. (e.g. 60 grit) and change to a higher, finer grade (e.g. 120 grit)
for finishing. If you use a fine grade for rough surfaces it will rapidly clog and need changing.
• It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the best suited sandpaper grit size for a particular task.
Polishing pad
• The polishing pad can be used for polishing surfaces with weathered paint or to remove scratches.
• When polishing, select the minimum speed, otherwise the polisher will vibrate intensely.
1. Spread about a tablespoonful of polish evenly over the entire surface of the polishing pad.
2. This first application should suffice for about 1/3 of the average surface applying it crosswise or with circular motion and moderate pressure.
3. For the second and third applications of polish, repeat as above.
Note:
• Do not overheat the surface.
• Do not allow the polishing pad to dry out on the surface, otherwise the surface can become damaged.
• Do not subject the surface to direct sunlight.
• Clean the polishing pad regularly to maintain good polishing results. Wash the polishing pad with a mild detergent and warm water.
TIPS FOR PROPER OPERATION
• If the power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor.
• Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds.
• Always use sandpaper that is suitable for the material you want to sand.
• Always ensure that the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Any movement of the workpiece may affect the quality of the sanding
finish.
• Turn on the sander before sanding and turn it off only after you stop sanding.
• For the best results, sand wood in the direction of the grain.
• Start sanding only after the sandpaper has been fitted on the sander.
• Empty the dust bag every 5 minutes or sooner to ensure efficient dust collection.
MAINTENANCE
• The power tool requires no lubrication or maintenance.
• Do not attempt to repair any parts of the machine on your own.
• Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean the power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth.
• Always store the power tool in a dry place.
• Keep the motor ventilation slots clean.
• Keep the power tool free of dust.
• Occasionally you may see sparks going through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage the power tool.
Note:
• The ambient temperature range for the use and storage of the tool and battery is 0°C-45°C.
TROUBLESHOOTING
• If the sander does not operate, check to see if the battery pack needs to be charged.
• If the sander cannot sand a surface properly, check the sandpaper. If the sandpaper has been worn, replace it with a new sandpaper and try again.
• The sandpaper must be kept in a dry place. Do not allow the sandpaper to become damp.
• If the sander does not move smoothly, the sandpaper may be loose, damaged or wrinkled. Replace and try again.
• If a fault cannot be rectified return the sander to an authorized dealer for repair.
