ENG ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
POWER SUPPLY.
Make sure the power supply is adapted to the
requirements shown on the information panel of the
sander (1). Using the motor at low voltage will make
it operate slowly. This will reduce performance and
may cause the motor to overheat.
EXTENSION CORD.
If the working area is at some distance from the
power supply, use an extension cord of enough
diameter and quality.
OPERATION.
To turn the sander on, press the power switch (2).
Move the sander in long sweeping strokes along
the surface being sanded, letting the sander do the
work (3). Pushing down on the sander slows the
removal rate and produces an inferior quality surface
(4). Never operate with the sander inclined, this can
damage the base and break the sandpaper (5). Be
sure to check your work often. This sander is capable
of removing material rapidly, especially with coarse
paper. To produce the best finish possible, start with
coarse grit sandpaper and change gradually to finer
and finer paper. A final sanding with a piece of well-
worn fine sandpaper will produce a professional
looking finish that in many cases will need no hand
sanding at all. The rate at which the dust collection
bag will fill up will vary with the type of material being
sanded and the coarseness of the sandpaper. For
best results, empty the bag frequently and check
the opening for clogging. When sanding painted
surfaces, you may find that the sandpaper loads up
and clogs with paint. A heat gun will work much better
to remove paint before sanding. Avoid overloading
the sander. Overloading will result in a considerable
reduction in speed and efficiency and the sander will
become hot. In this event, run sander at a no-load
condition for a minute or two.
FIXING THE SANDING DISCS IN PLACE.
Disconnect the sander from the power supply before
making any adjustments or replacing accessories.
The sanding discs are held in place with velcro.
Align the sanding disc over the plate so that their
edges meet. Press the sanding disc in place onto
the base until it is firmly held in place (6).
DUST EXTRACTION.
The sander includes a integrated dust collector (7).
TO EMPTY DUST COLLECTOR.
While holding the sander and remove the dust
collector cup. Gently shake or tap the dust collector
to empty. Put again the cup in the dust collector.
Sanding dust exhaust may create a breathing hazard.
SPEED SELECTOR.
The sander is equipped with a speed selector (8). The
slowest speed is in position "1" and the fastest on "6".
The optimum speed adjustment for each application
mainly depends on the user's preferences. In general,
a high value is preferable for hard materials and a
lower value for soft materials. The speed at which
material is removed increases with the spin speed.
PRECAUTIONS TO TAKE WHEN SANDING PAINT.
Sanding of lead based paint is not recommended
due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated
dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to
children and pregnant women.
CLEANING AND DISPOSAL.
All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changed frequently.
MAINTENANCE.
The sander has been designed for a long working life
with minimum maintenance. Optimum use depends
on correct care of the sander and regular cleaning.
To prevent accidents, always unplug the sander from
the power source before cleaning or performing any
maintenance. The sander may be cleaned effectively
using compressed air after each use. If compressed air
is not available, use a brush to remove dust from the
sander. Motor ventilation vents and switch levers must
be dept clean and free of foreign matter. Do not attempt
to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings.
Cetain cleaning agents and solvents damage plastic
parts, among them are gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia and household
cleaners containing ammonia. Do not use any of these
to clean the sander. Should excessive sparking occur,
have a Werku
replace the carbon brushes.
