FEATURES
Your sander is suitable for sanding with coarse, medium, and fine grit
sandpaper. It will produce a fine scratch free finish when used to sand with
the grain on wood surfaces. It has been designed so that flush corner sanding
on three sides of the sander is possible.
Your sander has a comfortable palm grip handle that provides maximum one-hand
comfort, and reduces operator fatigue during continuous sanding operations.
Your sander also has a built in dust collection that collects dust through
punched holes in the sandpaper and cushion (Fig. 5). Before attempting to use
your sander, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety
requirements.
SWITCH (1)
This tool is equipped with a simple switch control. To turn the sander “ON”,
slide the switch to the left. Slide the switch to the right to turn the sander
“OFF”.
WARNING Do not allow familiarity with your sander to make you careless.
Remember, a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe
injury.
OPERATION
WARNING Your sander should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, assembling or replacing sandpaper, cleaning, or when not in use. Disconnecting sander will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious personal injury.
INSTALLING NON-ADHESIVE SANDPAPER (Fig. 5)
Inspect sandpaper before installing. DO NOT use broken or defective sandpaper.
- Unplug your sander.
- WARNING Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.
- If replacing sandpaper, remove old sandpaper. To remove paper, release paper clamp by lifting up on lever, and disengaging it from the tab, and allowing the lever to lower.
- Insert end of new 1/4 sheet sandpaper approximately 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) under the paper clamp. Note: 1/2 in. (12.7 mm) clamping of sandpaper is necessary for multi-sheet stacking of paper.
- Lift up on lever and lock into place. Apply downward pressure to conform sandpaper to plate.
- Wrap sandpaper around cushion. Lift lever on opposite end of sander and insert loose end of sandpaper under paper clamp. Fit sandpaper tight against cushion.
- Lift up on lever and lock into place.
- Multiple sheets of sandpaper can be installed at one time for convenience.
ATTACHING ADHESIVE (HOOK & LOOP) SANDPAPER (Fig. 5)
- Unplug the sander.
- Align holes in hook and loop type sanding paper with holes in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding paper against pad as tightly as possible. Note: Hook and loop type sanding papers can be reused for the life of the sanding abrasive. It is recommended that you keep the sanding paper backing pad clean to provide for best adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with a small brush.
PAPER PUNCH (Fig. 6)
A paper punch template has been supplied with your sander for aligning and
punching holes in sandpaper. The punched holes must align with the holes in
the sander cushion.
- Install sandpaper on your sander.
- Align sander cushion over the paper punch.
- Push down on sander
SANDPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an extremely important
step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon
carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural
abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in power
sanding. In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit
will produce 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 a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform.
Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and
finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with
each grit until surface is uniform.
Note: DO NOT use sander without sandpaper. Doing so will damage the
cushion.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
CAUTION Be careful not to let your hand completely cover air vents.
SANDING (Fig. 1)
WARNING Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator causing
injury.
Hold your sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear of the workpiece. Start your sander by pressing the switch button to “ON” position and letting the motor build to its maximum speed. Gradually lower your sander on the work with a slight forward movement. Move it slowly using forward and backward strokes. DO NOT FORCE. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure, so let the sandpaper and sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears sandpaper and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing possible damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional heat. Do not allow sanding on one spot too long as the sander’s rapid action may remove too much material, making the surface uneven.
WARNING Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating sander. They could get caught in moving parts causing serious injury. Keep head away from sander and sanding area. Hair could be drawn into sander causing serious injury.
ORBITAL MOTION (Fig. 2)
Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when removing old finishes,
smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to required dimensions, or for
finishing surfaces to be painted. The sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a
very high speed, allowing the sander to move easily.
WARNING Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-ignite in your sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire always empty your dust bag frequently while sanding and never store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.
USING THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
The dust bag assembly provides a dust collection system for the sander.
Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc and collected
in the dust bag during sanding.
TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY (Fig. 3)
Follow these directions to attach the dust bag assembly.
-
Unplug the sander.
WARNING Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. -
Slide the dust bag assembly onto the blower exhaust on the sander using a slight twisting motion.+
TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY (Fig. 4)
For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more than half
full. This will permit the air to flow through the bag better. Always empty
and clean the dust bag thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation and
before placing the sander in storage.
To empty dust bag:
- Unplug your sander.
- WARNING Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.
- Remove the dust bag assembly from the sander.
- Remove the dust bag from the frame.
- Shake out the dust.
- Replace the dust bag on the frame.
- Replace the dust bag assembly on the sander.
