Switching on/off
Press the switch into position ‘1’ to put your sanding machine into operation.
•
To switch off the machine the same switch needs to be pressed to position ‘0’.
•
Always keep the mains cable away from moving parts.
•
There is no need to apply any pressure with the workpiece, because this only slows down
•
the speed of the sanding disc.
Sanding
The sanding belt and disc supplied with this sanding machine are suitable for the sanding of
metal, wood or synthetic surfaces. The workpiece should always be held firmly during sanding.
No extra pressure is needed. Guide the work piece up and down over the sanding belt, in order
to prevent the sanding belt and plate from wearing through in one place. Round objects can be
sanded at the ends of the sanding belt. Work pieces which are longer than the sanding
machine can be sanded by removing the fence.
NB: To prevent splintering, wood always needs to be sanded in the longitudinal direction of the
grain.
To treat a very soft surface, there is a very handy method to ‘bring the particles to the surface’.
This is done as follows: wet the already sanded surface with a cloth or sponge and let it dry well.
Some wood fibres will swell up more than others, which leads to a rougher surface than before.
Now the higher particles are treated with fine sanding paper, the result is a remarkably smooth
surface. This method should not be applied with varnished wood, however, because the
varnish may come loose because of the moisture.
