NOTICE: Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears
sandpaper, and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload
the motor, possibly causing damage from the motor overheating and can result
in inferior work.
5. Move the sander slowly over the workpiece, making successive passes in parallel
lines, circles, or crosswise movements. The removal rate and the sanding pattern
are determined by the choice of sandpaper and the work surface.
6. Do not allow sanding on one spot too long, as the sander's rapid action may
remove too much material and make the surface uneven.
7.
8.
Upon completion of the sanding operation, remove the sander from the
workpiece, turn the sander off and wait until it comes to a complete stop
before putting it down.
Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the motor. If this occurs,
remove the sander from the workpiece and turn it off. Wait until the sander
comes to a complete stop before putting the sander down. Remove the
sandpaper and, without obstructing the vent area with your hand, turn the
sander on and run it free without a load to cool the motor.
A
WARNING: Before cleaning or performing any maintenance, make sure that
the random orbit sander has been disconnected from the power source.
,_ WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
when using compressed air to clean the tool. If the operation is dusty, also wear a
dust mask.
CLEANING THE DUST
BOX (Fig. 8)
For most efficient operation,
empty the dust box when it is no
more than half full. This will permit
the air to flow through the box
better. Always empty and clean
the dust box thoroughly when you
have finished sanding and before
you store the sander.
