ROTATING THE SANDING SHEETS
See Figure 10.
The majority of wear in a precision sanding application occurs
at the tip of the sanding sheet. The unique Tri-Flex design of
the sanding sheets allows you to detach and rotate the top
two thirds of each, extending the life of the sheet.
To rotate the sheet, simply remove the top two thirds of
sanding sheet along the perforation. Rotate the sheet so
that a clean corner is located at the tip of the base. Press
the sheet firmly onto the sander pad.
NOTE: Scrubbing and polishing pads are not perforated and
cannot be rotated.
MAINTENANCE
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spack-
ling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear
and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips
and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury.
CLEANING THE SCRUbbING PADS
To ensure longer life and optimum performance, periodically
clean all residue and foreign materials from the scrubbing
pads. This can be done simply by rinsing the pad with warm
water until all foreign material has been washed away. After
cleaning, gently squeeze the pad to remove excess water
and allow pad to dry. Always store pads and sanding sheets
flat in a cool, dry location.
CLEANING THE SANDING SHEETS
The sanding sheets that came with the sander are made to
be re-used. Therefore, it is important that they be cleaned
periodically to remove sanding residue and foreign material
that can accumulate over time.
To clean sanding sheets, rub the sheets with a hard rubber
block.
WARNING:
Always remove the scrubbing pad or sanding sheet from
sander before cleaning. Failure to do so could cause
serious personal injury.
using this product for extended work on these types
of materials. However, if you do work with any of these
materials, it is extremely important to clean the product
using compressed air.
LUbRICATION
All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a
sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the
unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication is required.
