SANDING
This sander can be used for most sanding
operations
on materials
such as
wood,
plastic, metal and painted surfaces.
_,
WARNING:
Do not touch sander vents after prolonged
use; the gear box
could be very hot.
,_
WARNING:
Wear safety goggles,
dust mask, and hearing protection.
_1_ CAUTION:
Clamp the workpiece
to prevent it from moving during operating.
An unsecured
workpiece
could be thrown towards
the operator causing
injury.
1.
Plug the sander to the power source.
_,
WARNING:
Before connecting
the sander to power source, always check to
be sure that the switch is in the OFF (O) position.
Failure to do so could result in
accidental
starting
of the sander, causing
possible
serious injury.
2.
Start the sander and allow the motor build to its maximum speed.
,_
WARNING:
Keep your head away from the sander and the sanding area.
Your hair could be drawn into the sander, causing serious injury.
3.
Place the sander on the workpiece
so that the sandpaper
is fully in contact
with the workpiece.
4.
For best sanding
results, apply light pressure on the sander, but do not
force the tool. Check to make sure that the red pressure control indicator
never illuminates.
NOTICE: Applying
additional
pressure
only slows the motor, rapidly wears
sandpaper,
and greatly reduces
sander speed. Excessive
pressure
will ovedoad
the motor, causing
possible
damage from motor overheating
and can result in
inferior work.
5.
Move the sander slowly, guiding it in a forward
and backward
motion.
The removal rate and the sanding
pattern are determined
by the choice of
sandpaper
and the work surface.
6.
Do not allow sanding on one spot too long as the sander's
rapid action may
remove too much material, making the surface
uneven.
7.
Upon completion
of the sanding operation,
remove the sander from the
workpiece,
turn the sander off and wait it comes to a complete
stop before
putting it down.
8.
Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the motor. If this occurs,
remove the sander from the workpiece
and turn it off. Wait until the sander
comes to a complete
stop before putting it down. Unplug the sander and
remove the sandpaper.
Then, making sure to keep your hand away from the
vent area, turn the sander on and run it without
load to cool the motor.
