OPERATION

iNSTAULING SANDING DISC

■ Disconnect Sander from power supply.

■ Assemble parts as shown in Figure 9.

■ Place washer on spindle, then thread rubber back-up

pad onto spindle. Lock spindle by depressing spindle
lock button and hand tighten back-up pad.

■ Position back-up disc and sanding disc in place and

thread flange nut onto spindle. Tighten flange nut

securely by turning the sanding disc clockwise by hand.

^ WARNING:

Use only the back-up pad and back­

up disc supplied with your tool. Other types of pads
or discs could disintegrate causing possible serious
personal injury.

SANDING

See Figure 10.

The material being sanded should be held firmly. Secure

small workpiece in a vise or clamp to workbench.

Hold your Sander in front and away from you with both
hands. With the sanding disc clear of the workpiece, start
your Sander and let the motor reach its maximum speed,
then lower to the work surface at a slight 5 to 8 degree

angle. See Figure 10. Do not allow the tool to remain in
one place. This will cause uneven sanding or gouging of

the work. Keep your sender slowly moving over the work.

^ WARNING:

Keep a firm grip on the handles of your

tool with both hands at ail times. Failure to do so

could result in loss of control leading to possible

serious injury.

This tool was designed so that the weight of the tool alone
will provide adequate weight on the sanding disc. Extra

pressure will only result in uneven work, slower sanding

from slower speed, and possible motor burn-out.

Upon completion of work, or a sanding operation, lift your
Sander away from work surface before turning off.

A

WARNING:

Sanding disc must come to a

complete stop before setting tool down on
wor№ench. Failure to do so can cause the tool to

be thrown from workbench because of sanding disc
rotation. This could result in damage to the tool or
possible serious personal injury.

To remove paint, varnish, or rust, sand with an openkote

type sanding disc.

Another method of removirig paint or rust is by wire

brushing. The wire cup brush may be threaded directly
onto the spindle,

AUXILIARY

WARNING;

Always wear protective goggles.

Sparks, wire and loose particles can be thrown
while using a wire brush. Use of your sander

without goggles could result in serious personal
injury.
