MACHINE SET-UP
Preparing the Machine for Operation
1. Familiarize yourself with the machine. Read all danger, warning, and caution
statements and the Owner’s Manual before operating this machine. If you or
your operator cannot read English, have this manual explained fully before
attempting to operate this machine.
2. Remove screw and abrasive retainer. Center abrasive on pad and secure with
abrasive retainer and screw. (Figure 3)
3. Return machine to upright position and tilt machine back on casters until it
comes to rest on the exhaust bracket. Machine will be in a reclined position.
Do not allow machine to rest on pad especially after use, or compression set
may take place within elastomer on pad. This will create a flat spot and bounce
during use. (Figure 4)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Move machine to the location of your work. Set any exposed nails with ham-
mer and punch to avoid encounter with abrasive.
WARNING:
Bodily injury could occur if power is applied to
the machine with the power switch already in the “ON” position. Always
check to assure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before
applying power to the power cable.
2. Make sure the control switch is in the “Off” position then connect the supply
cable to an appropriately grounded fused circuit. Connect the supply cable to
the motor pigtail. (Figure 5)
3. With the machine in the reclined position firmly grasp both handles and flip the
control switch to the “ON” position. (Figure 4.)
4. Gradually lower pad to surface intended for sanding. Make sure the ma-
chine is in motion while the pad is engaged with the surface to be sanded.
You may use broad circular motion as you sand along the length of the
surface or your may use a combination of forward and sideward motions.
In time you will develop your own technique to optimize coverage and dust
recovery. It is advisable to not add effort to the pad as this may lead to “nos-
ing in” or “tipping” which produces grooves or lines on the surface.
5. When replacing abrasive, emptying the contents of the dust bag, or sanding
operation is completed, return machine to reclined position, flip control
switch to “Off” then disconnect the motor pigtail from the supply cable.
6. Empty dust bag whenever it becomes 1/3 full.
