How to Operate the Machine
6. When contact wheel is fully engaged with the surface,
gradually adjust your pace for adequate finish removal.
Keep sander in motion while the contact wheel is
engaged with the surface or dwell marks will occur.
7. Move the machine in the direction of the grain in the wood
whenever it is possible. Sand the surface at a constant
pace.
8. Gradually feather-cut out at the termination point by
easing the contact wheel up with the control lever. (See
Figure 13)
9. Repeat technique described in steps 5, 6, 7, and 8 and
sand back down pass just made. When completed, begin
a new pass by overlapping previous pass half the width
of the abrasive. Stagger termination points to prevent a
distinct ridge and a better blend when edging.
10. Empty contents of the dust bag into a metal container
located outside the building. Dust bag should be emptied
whenever full, as indicated on bag.
WARNING: Do not overfill dust bag or serious
fire may result. Never leave a dust
bag containing dust unattended.
Sanding dust can self ignite and
cause a fire or explosion. Use only
genuine Clarke American Sanders
replacement bags.
CAUTION: An overfilled dust bag may effect
machine balance and performance.
Do not handle or disturb dust bag
and elbow while sanding or damage
to the floor may occur.
