OPERATION

Sanding operation

► Fig.8
CAUTION:
• The tool should not be in contact with the work-
piece surface when you turn the tool on or off.
Otherwise a poor sanding finish or damage of
the belt may result.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on
and wait until it attains full speed. Then gently place the
tool on the workpiece surface. Keep the belt flush with
the workpiece at all times and move the tool back and
forth.
Never force the tool. The weight of the tool applies ade-
quate pressure. Excessive pressure may cause stalling,
overheating of the motor, burning of the workpiece and
possible kickback.
Sanding shoe (optional accessory)
► Fig.9: 1. Sanding shoe
The sanding shoe readily allows you to sand work-
pieces more evenly.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before attempting to perform inspec-
tion or maintenance.
• Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner, alcohol
or the like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks
may result.
Replacing carbon brushes
► Fig.10: 1. Limit mark
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
Replace them when they are worn down to the limit
mark. Keep the carbon brushes clean and free to slip in
the holders. Both carbon brushes should be replaced at
the same time. Use only identical carbon brushes.
Use a screwdriver to remove the brush holder caps.
Take out the worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones
and secure the brush holder caps.
