Installing or removing abrasive paper
CAUTION :
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or removing
the paper.
Press the clamper. Insert the paper end into
the clamper, aligning the paper edges even
and parallel with the sides of the base.
Then release the clamper.
Repeat the same process for the other end
of the base, maintaining the proper paper
tension.
CAUTION :
After inserting the paper, make sure the teeth of the clamper hold
it
securely. Otherwise
the paper will be loose and subject to slippage, resulting in uneven sanding operation.
Switch action
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger.
Release the trigger to stop. For continuous
operation, pull the trigger and then push in
the lock button. To stop the tool from the
locked position, pull the trigger fully, then
release it.
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the trigger switch actuates properly
and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
Operation
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and
wait until
it
attains full speed. Then gently
place the tool on the workpiece surface. A
finishing sander
is
generally used to remove
only a small amount of material
a t
a time.
Since the quality of the surface i s more im-
portant than the amount of stock removed,
do not bear down on the tool. Keep the
base flush with the workpiece
a t all
times.
Excessive pressure may damage the paper
and shorten tool life.
You can put a high polish on furniture or other fine surfaces by using a cloth under the
tool.
