TO TURN ON/OFF DRYWALL SANDER
Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as shown on the specification plate on the Sander, and that the
Sander switch is OFF. Connect Sander to power circuit.
The Drywall Sander is equipped with a safety ON/OFF trigger switch. Push the front small trigger( Step1),
and then press the bigger button(Step2) to start the machine. And release the button to turn off the machine.
SANDING DRYWALL
The Drywall Sander has a unique articulating sanding head: 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
When sanding the tall wall, and ceiling, please use a ladder for help.
The sanding pad could be adjusted the height by itself when it meet the uneven wall.
1. 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.
