2. Run the planer along the
workpiece.
3. Once you have finished
planing the section take the
pressure off the drum guard
release lever (23) and make
sure that the drum guard (22)
is full covering the barrel/drum.
CAUTION: Do not raise the drum guard if it is not
performing a full/unlimited rebate application.
WARNING: If the drum guard does not completely close
immediately stop using the power tool and have the unit
serviced by a qualified service agent. If you use the product
with a defective blade drum guard the manufacturer will not
be held liable for any damage or personal injury caused.
Note: The workpiece will automatically raise the blade drum
guard automatically when rebating up to 45mm (the height
of the pivot point of the drum guard) timbers.
Note. Do not apply too much force on the lever, excess
pressure may cause blade guard to break.
Sanding
Note. Sanding drum not supplied.
Dependent on what sanding grit barrel has been selected,
the powertool can be used when sanding wood, metal,
plastic and similar materials. It is used mainly for quickly
removing a large amount of material. Do not use this sander
for sanding magnesium or steel.
Note: When sanding ensure that the depth adjustment dial
is set on the ‘O’ setting.
To achieve the best sanding result with this power tool the
following instructions and tips should be adhered to.
1. Prior to commencing the sanding application,
ensure that the sanding barrel
is in good condition and fixed tightly.
WARNING. Variable speed should be 1-6 when sanding.
Never on ‘Max this will cause it to vibrate and possibly
cause an injury.
2. Check to make sure that the planning depth adjustment
dial (3) is set to the ‘O’ height setting.
3. Bring the sander onto the work
piece and apply light pressure.
4. Pull up the trigger switch (1)
and set the variable speed at
1-6 before moving it across
the work.
5. Sand with the grain, in parallel
overlapping strokes.
6. Adjust the variable speed dial as required.
7. To remove paint or smooth very rough wood, sand across
the grain in 45º in two directions, and then finish the
parallel with the grain.
8. Lift the sander off the work before switching it off.
9. Remember to keep your hands away from the moving
sanding barrel, as it will continue to move for a short
time after the machine is switched off.
10. Wear safety goggles, a dust mask and earmuffs.
11. Use coarse grade to remove rough finishes, Medium
grade to smooth the work and Fine grade to finish it off.
It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material
to determine the optimum grades of belt for a particular
job. In order to take full advantage of sanding function,
always purchase good quality sanding barrels.
Selecting the right grade of sanding barrel
Different grades of sanding barrels can be purchased from
your local hardware store. Typical grades are Coarse (40
grit), Medium (80 and 100 grit) and Fine (120 Grit).
Note: After sanding with a barrel sander, an orbital sander
should be used to give a better surface
