Adjusting The Speed; Adjusting The Auxiliary Handle; Selecting The Right Grade Of Sandpaper; Dust Extraction - GMC ROS150CF Manual

Adjusting the speed

The speed can be adjusted to
suit the material being sanded.
To adjust the speed, move the
variable speed control (5) until
you are satisfied that the speed
is what you need for the job in
hand.
Adjusting the auxiliary
handle
The sander has two handles, the main handle (6) with
rubber grip and the auxiliary handle (1) which can be
adjusted to suit the operator's needs.
1. To adjust the auxiliary handle
(1) loosen the auxiliary handle
lock (2) enough so that you
can easily move the handle
into the desired position.
2. Re-tighten the auxiliary handle
lock (2).

Selecting the right grade of sandpaper

• Different grades of sanding paper can be purchased from
your local hardware store. Available grades are: Coarse,
Medium and Fine.
• Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium
grit to smooth the work and fine grit to finish off.
• 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. If there are still marks on your work
after sanding, try either going back to a coarser grade
and sanding the marks out before recommencing with
the original choice of grit, or try using a new piece of
sandpaper to eliminate the unwanted marks before going
on to a finer grit and finishing the job.
WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched
off and the plug is removed from the power point before
making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.

Dust extraction

WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched
off and the plug is removed from the power point before
making any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
1. Attach the dust canister (7)
to the dust extraction port (8)
of the sander by pushing and
twisting the bayonet fitting.
WARNING. For optimum dust
extraction, remove and empty
the canister (7) when it is no
more than half full.
2. Remove the cap from the end
of the canister (7) to access the internal dust bag (12)
when you wish to replace or clean the bag. The bag (12)
can be washed. Make sure the bag is completely dry
before replacing it.
3. The dust extraction adaptor piece (11) can be fitted into
the dust extraction port (8) in place of the dust canister
(7).
