Speed Adjusting Dial

With the speed adjusting dial (4) you can adjust the
speed according to application. Select the appropriate
speed setting and make sure the sander dees not
become overloaded and stops running.
Turn the speed adjusting dial (4) steplessly to the
desired setting to increase or decrease the speed. The
adjusting dial can be adjusted from 1 – 6. The speed
rate can be changed during operation as well.
Hint: The required speed rate for cutting resp. sanding a workpiece depends
on the material that you are going to process. For best performance, make
some practical tests.

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 paper with coarseness suited the condition of the
surface.

Use finer papers 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


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.

Store the sander in a dry place and protect it from dirt. Store the machine
out of reach of children and persons in need of supervision.
