Wear an NIOSH/OSHA approved respirator, safety glasses and gloves when
using the PAINTEATER™
iMportant:
The PAINTEATER™ should be used only on clean, dry surfaces. Do not use in
conjunction with any paint removal chemicals.
1. Make sure the OFF (O) switch is pressed, and plug in the power cord.
2. Place hands onto unit using one of the methods shown on the previous page.
3. Turn the switch ON (l), and place the rotating disc onto the surface you want to prepare.
tipS:
• Test the PAINTEATER™ in an inconspicuous place or on a piece of scrap wood to become
accustomed to the tool.
• Hold the disk flat to the surface to remove large paint chips or to feather paint edges. do
not force tool or hold the disc in one place for too long or the painting surface can
become damaged. too much force will cause the motor to slow down and overheat,
and will cause premature wear on the sanding disc.
• Hold the disc on its edge to remove paint chips that are more difficult to remove. The
outer edges of the disc can be used to prepare underneath lap siding.
• After a period of operation, check the disc to see if paint is sticking to the disc. Too much
paint embedded into the disk will affect performance and should be removed. Run the
disc momentarily on a concrete sidewalk or a large concrete block. This will knock the
paint loose from the disc. Make sure cleaning surface is stable and disc is placed flat
onto the cleaning surface. Do not hold block used for cleaning in your hand. do not
immerse the disc into a solvent, such as turpentine.
