OPERATION

Whether polishing or sanding, always ensure a loose workpiece is securely
fixed, i.e. clamped to a workbench or secured in a vice.
When working on car bodywork, the vibration may cause any items left on the
car bonnet, boot or roof, to fall onto the rotating disc and be thrown, leading
to injury to yourself or others in the work vicinity. Always keep the work area
tidy.
1. Hold the sander/polisher firmly with both hands and switch on. The motor
will then run.
2. Push the trigger lock button
forward and squeeze the trigger.
3. Adjust the speed control to the
desired working speed.
4. Slowly apply the sander/polisher
to the workpiece and proceed to
sand or polish. Move the disc
across the work applying a light
even pressure.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE WORKING POSITION ADOPTED DOES NOT
CAUSE OPERATOR FATIGUE WHICH MAY LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL.
5. On completion, lift the sander/polisher from the work surface and release
the trigger.
WARNING: THE DISC WILL CONTINUE TO ROTATE FOR A FEW SECONDS
AFTER THE TRIGGER HAS BEEN RELEASED.
6. Ensure the motor has come to a complete stop before setting the machine
down on the workbench etc. Failure to do so can cause the machine to
be thrown, resulting in damage to the machine or personal injury.
