Machine Setup (cont)

WARNING:

Injury could occur to the operator or by-

standers if the machine should tip or fall

while replacing the pad or changing the

abrasive.

WARNING:

Never allow the machine to be started

while tilted up. Severe injury could re-

sult if the machine is started while the

abrasive is being changed.

CAUTION:

Damage to the sanding head will occur

if the unit is allowed to drop freely from

the tilted position.

Damage to the pad driver will occur if

the machine is operated without sand-

paper or screen and pad. Damage to

the pad driver can also occur if the pad

is less than 1/8” thick.

Install or replace sandpaper or screen and pad. The

sandpaper, screen, and pad should be replaced if

there are any tears or if they have become worn and

dull. The pad should also be replaced if its thickness

is less than 1/8”. To install or replace the sandpaper,

screen, or pad: (See Figure 12)

DANGER:
