SANDING DRYWALL
The Drywall Sander has a unique articulating sanding head: the head can swivel in multiple
directions, allowing the abrasive pad to conform to the work surface .This enables the
operator to sand the top, middle and bottom of a wall or ceiling joint without changing:
his position.
1). Turn vacuum cleaner switch ON.
CAUTION: Wear a respirator approved for "Dust and Mist".
2). Turn Drywall Sander switch 0N.
3). Position Drywall Sander lightly against work surface (apply just enough pressure to
align the sanding head with the work surface).
4). Apply additional pressure to engage the abrasive pad to the work surface: while
moving the Sander in an overlapping pattern to smooth the drywall compound down to a
"featheredge'.
Apply ONLY enough pressure to keep the abrasive pad flat against the work. Excessive
pressure can cause unacceptable swirl marks and unevenness in the work surface.
Keep the Sander in constant motion while abrasive pad is in contact with the work surface.
Use a steady, sweeping motion. Stopping the Sander (on the work), or moving the Sander
erratically can cause unacceptable swirl marks and unevenness in the work surface.
NOTE: Do not allow rotating abrasive pad to contact sharp protrusions. Contact with
protruding objects (nails, screws, electrical boxes, etc,), can severely damage the abrasive
pad.
ABRASIVE PAD REPLACEMENT
CAUTION: DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER SOURCE.
1). Grasp the abrasive pad and the sander housing (clamping the pad to the housing), to
prevent pad rotation.
2). Rotate the pad retaining nut, counterclockwise and remove.
3). Lift off the large metal washer, and the abrasive pad
NOTE: When the abrasive pad, is lifted off the Sander: the abrasive back-up disc is
exposed. Please note that this back-up disc is also covered with an abrasive material. This
abrasive material is ONLY used to prevent "slippage" between the back-up disc and the
