WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR SANDER

1. If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run it with
no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always use sand paper that is
suitable for the material you want to sand.
2. A lways ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
3. A ny movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.
4. Start your sander before sanding and turn it off only after you stop sanding. For the best results, sand wood in the
direction of the grain.
5. D o not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.
6. Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it will damage the base-plate. The guarantee does not cover base-plate wear
and tear.
7. U se coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the final surfaces. If
necessary, first make a test run on scrap material.
