Operating Instructions - Sanding - American Sanders 3DS Operator's Manual

EN
To operate the machine, follow this procedure:
1. 1. Move machine to work location. When sanding the
area, work so that you are moving away from the power
supply. This will help to avoid damaging the power
cord and reduce the need to move the power cord as
frequently.
NOTE: For sanding cuts and sandpaper, see
page 13.
WARNING: Injury can occur if the machine is
connected to a power source while
installing or replacing the abra-
sives. Disconnect the machine
before installing the abrasives.
2. Install the abrasive. Use the same procedure outlined
2.
in MACHINE SETUP for installing the sandpaper or
screen / pad.
(See Page 5)
DANGER:
Electrocution could occur if the
machine is used on an ungrounded
electrical circuit. Always use a
three-wire electrical system con-
nected to the electrical ground.
Never remove or disable the
grounding supply conductor on the
electrical cord. Consult an electri-
cian if the grounding conductor
is missing or if you suspect your
circuit is not grounded properly.
3.
Loosen the head pressure until the rubber foot is not
3.
touching the mainframe. (See Figure 16) Tighten until
the rubber foot touches the main frame. Adjust to suit
by running the machine, then making adjustments
either up or down to get sanding action desired.
4. Connect machine's power cord to an appropriately
4.
fused and grounded circuit.
5. Stand behind the handle, place the rocker switch to
5.
"Automatic" and press the green start switch. To stop
the machine, press the red stop button. (See Figure
17)
CAUTION:
To prevent possible damage to the flooring
and to reduce heat buildup, keep the ma-
chine in motion while the motor is running.
6.
6. The operator must be moving the machine when the
machine is running. The operator may move the
machine in any direction when sanding the floor.
