Switching on and off
1. With the cordset fitted to a power point, switch the sander
on by pushing the on/off switch (1) downward.
2. To turn off the sander, pull the on/off switch upward.
Fitting sandpaper
1. Disconnect the sander from the power supply.
2. Remove any dust or debris from the hooks and loops of
the platen.
3. If you are using sandpaper
that has dust extraction
holes align the sandpaper
holes with the platen and
press it firmly in place to
ensure a good attachment.
CAUTION.
Take care to
regularly clean out the build up
of dust on the platen
underneath the sandpaper and
not to let the sandpaper wear completely down before
replacing it. Failure to observe these two precautionary
measures can lead to damage to the hooks and loops on
the platen and the sandpaper will not attach properly.
If the platen is damaged, it can be replaced at an authorised
service centre.
Note.
Hook and loop platens are not a warranty item.
Selecting the right grade
of sandpaper for the job
1. Different grades of sanding paper can be purchased from
your local hardware store. Available grades are:
Coarse, Medium and Fine.
2. Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium
grit to smooth the work and fine grit to finish off.
3. It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material
to determine the optimum grades of sandpaper for a
particular job.
WARNING.
Do not use the same sanding sheet for wood
and metal. Metal particles become embedded in the
sandpaper and will scour a wooden surface.

circular motion with an even,
moderate pressure.
