OPERATION
5. USING THE SANDER
NOTE: If you see some sparks flashing in the
ventilation slots do not panic, this is normal and
will not damage the tool.
Be sure to hold the sander firmly whilst it is on
and apply it gently to the work; it may kick on
first contact. Hold the sander so that it is flat on
the work and move slowly, preferably in parallel
lines, circles, or crosswise movements. When
you first turn it on, make sure that your finger
remains on the switch so you can STOP the
sander in case there is a problem.
When using finishing sanding base or corner
sanding base, switch the sander on with the
base away from the work piece. Let the motor
reach full speed then operate sanding. Remove
the sander form the work piece before switching
off.
Flush sanding can be performed with your
sander. The front edge of your sander allows
f ush sanding.
The sander should run smoothly. Strange or
unnatural noise should be investigated and
corrected before operating the sander further.
Regularly check the condition of the abrasive
paper and replace when worn for best results.
Always keep the machine moving so the finish
of your work stays consistent. If you stay in one
place too long, then the sander may produce
a depression in the wood that will compromise
your finish.
