Wagner PaintEater - Manual (Page 7)

English
Usage
WARNING - Wear an NIOSH/OSHA approved respirator, safety glasses and
gloves when using the Paint Eater™.
CAUTION - The Paint Eater™ should be used only on clean, dry surfaces. Do not
use in conjunction with any paint removal chemicals.
1. Make sure the OFF (O) switch is pressed, and plug in the power cord.
2. Place hands onto unit using one of the methods shown on the previous page.
3. Turn the switch ON (l), and place the rotating disc onto the surface you want to
prepare.
Tips:
• Test the Paint Eater™ in an inconspicuous place or on a piece of scrap wood to
become accustomed to the tool.
• Hold the disk flat to the surface to remove large paint chips or to feather paint
edges. Do not force tool or hold the disc in one place for too long or the
painting surface can become damaged. Too much force will cause the motor
to slow down and overheat, and will cause premature wear on the sanding
disc.
• Hold the disc on its edge to remove paint chips that are more difficult to remove.
The outer edges of the disc can be used to prepare underneath lap siding.
• After a period of operation, check the disc to see if paint is sticking to the disc. Too
much paint embedded into the disk will affect performance and should be removed.
Run the disc momentarily on a concrete sidewalk or a large concrete block. This will
knock the paint loose from the disc. Make sure cleaning surface is stable and disc
is placed flat onto the cleaning surface. Do not hold block used for cleaning in your
hand.
Do not immerse the disc into a solvent, such as turpentine.
