On/Off Switch; Sanding; Maintenance And Cleaning - Westfalia 81 80 49 Original Instruction Manual

ON/OFF Switch

1. Connect the sander to the power socket.
2. To turn on the machine press the ON/OFF switch (1) in direction I. To turn
off the machine, press the ON/OFF switch in direction O.
3. Hold the machine firmly with your hand when using and whenever
possible, move the machine in a steady motion parallel to the surface. By
doing so, you will avoid grooves or hollows on the surface.

Sanding


Apply only moderate pressure on the machine. Too much pressure will
lead to jamming of the mechanism and will spoil the result. Excessive
pressure will overheat the machine.

Always select abrasive pad with coarseness suited the condition of the
surface.

Use finer pads in the consecutive sanding until the desired smoothness is
reached. If you desire a very smooth finish you may slightly moisten the
surface before the last sanding. This will slightly swell the fibres and allow
a smoother finish.

Maintenance and Cleaning


It is very important to keep the ventilation openings clean and free from
obstructions at all times. Clean out the slots after each use with a stiff
brush or compressed air.

Do not use water or any other liquid to clean the sander.
