Sander Operation


WARNING: Let the tool work at its own pace. Do
not overload.
Grasp the sander and turn it ON. Move it in long, sweeping
strokes along the surface, letting it do the work. Pushing
6
down on the tool while sanding actually slows the removal
rate and produces an inferior quality finish.
Check your work often. This sander is capable of removing
material rapidly.

MAINTENANCE


WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Replacing the Sanding Pad and the Belt
(Fig. H)
Your sander is equipped with a replaceable belt
is located between the sanding pad
body. It is designed to control the pad speed while the unit
is off the work surface. The belt and the sanding pad are
designed to be consumable parts and will occasionally need
to be replaced. The sanding pad needs replacement when
signs of wear become evident. Replacement of the belt is
necessary when the pad speed increases very dramatically
when the unit is lifted from the work surface. These parts are
available at extra cost from your local dealer or authorized
service center.
1. Holding the platen firmly, remove the four screws
from the bottom of the sanding pad.
2. Remove the sanding pad
3. Replace worn or damaged belt
around the shoulder screw
4. Reinstall pad (replace with new pad if necessary).
Replace the four screws. Be careful not to over-
1 at
tighten screws.
