Sanding; Working Procedures - Parkside PDEXS 150 C2 Operating Instructions Manual

Sanding

♦ Switch on the compressed air source and allow
it to run until the maximum tank pressure has
been reached.
♦ Use the pressure reducer on the compressed
air source to set the optimum working pressure.
Note that the maximum working pressure may
not be exceeded. An excessive working pres-
sure does not mean increased output; it merely
increases the air consumption and accelerates
appliance wear. Always comply with the techni-
cal information.
♦ Switch on the compressed air-powered random
orbital sander.
♦ Allow the device to reach the required speed
and adjust as necessary.
♦ Guide the compressed air-powered random
orbital sander parallel onto the workpiece.
♦ Move the appliance parallel and in flat circles
or alternatively lengthwise and across the sur-
face. Use the housing
the appliance in the desired direction.
♦ Do not press the compressed air-powered ran-
dom orbital sander down. Pressing down hard
does not increase the working efficiency!
♦ When you have finished working, let go of the
trigger to switch off the appliance.
♦ When you have finished working, disconnect
the appliance from the compressed air source.
► Sanding creates dust. Always wear protective
gloves, a suitable mask and clean the sandpa-
per and workpiece at regular intervals with a
vacuum cleaner or compressed air.
► Suitable safety precautions must be taken
depending on the size and nature of the work-
piece. Use suitable clamping devices to prevent
the workpiece from slipping.
► In the event of an interruption to the air supply,
release the trigger
PDEXS 150 C2
as a handle to guide
immediately.

Working procedures

The most important thing to remember when sand-
ing is to use successively finer grained paper.
With a coarse grain, the surface will not become
smooth, but rather rougher. If the grain is too fine,
you will hardly achieve any noticeable result.
The material removal rate is determined by the
speed and grain size of the sandpaper.
The sandpaper used should be appropriate to the
substance being worked and the amount of mate-
rial to be removed.
► Ensure that the appliance is disconnected from
the compressed air source before you fit or
remove a sandpaper disc
