OPERATION
iNSTAULING SANDING DISC
■ Disconnect Sander from power supply.
■ Assemble parts as shown in Figure 9.
■ Place washer on spindle, then thread rubber back-up
pad onto spindle. Lock spindle by depressing spindle
lock button and hand tighten back-up pad.
■ Position back-up disc and sanding disc in place and
thread flange nut onto spindle. Tighten flange nut
securely by turning the sanding disc clockwise by hand.
^ WARNING:
Use only the back-up pad and back
up disc supplied with your tool. Other types of pads
or discs could disintegrate causing possible serious
personal injury.
SANDING
See Figure 10.
The material being sanded should be held firmly. Secure
small workpiece in a vise or clamp to workbench.
Hold your Sander in front and away from you with both
hands. With the sanding disc clear of the workpiece, start
your Sander and let the motor reach its maximum speed,
then lower to the work surface at a slight 5 to 8 degree
angle. See Figure 10. Do not allow the tool to remain in
one place. This will cause uneven sanding or gouging of
the work. Keep your sender slowly moving over the work.
^ WARNING:
Keep a firm grip on the handles of your
tool with both hands at ail times. Failure to do so
could result in loss of control leading to possible
serious injury.
This tool was designed so that the weight of the tool alone
will provide adequate weight on the sanding disc. Extra
pressure will only result in uneven work, slower sanding
from slower speed, and possible motor burn-out.
Upon completion of work, or a sanding operation, lift your
Sander away from work surface before turning off.
A
WARNING:
Sanding disc must come to a
complete stop before setting tool down on
wor№ench. Failure to do so can cause the tool to
be thrown from workbench because of sanding disc
rotation. This could result in damage to the tool or
possible serious personal injury.
To remove paint, varnish, or rust, sand with an openkote
type sanding disc.
Another method of removirig paint or rust is by wire
brushing. The wire cup brush may be threaded directly
onto the spindle,
AUXILIARY
WARNING;
Always wear protective goggles.
Sparks, wire and loose particles can be thrown
while using a wire brush. Use of your sander
without goggles could result in serious personal
injury.
