How to Operate the Machine

To operate the machine follow this procedure:
1. Set any exposed nails with a hammer and punch
to avoid encounter with sanding drum. Connect
the machine to an appropriate grounded and
fused circuit (power supply). Press the selector
switch to the start (S) position. Once started,
allow switch to return to run (R) position.
CAUTION:To prevent damage to the surface,
make sure the machine is always
moving when the sanding drum is
in contact with the fl oor.
2. Work right to left. For each forward pass, move
the machine 4" over the pass you have just
fi nished. Retrace your reverse path without
overlapping. See fi gure # 11
3. Feather-cut in by easing the sanding drum down
onto the surface with the control lever while the
sander is in motion.
4. When sanding drum is fully engaged with the
surface, release control lever and adjust your
pace for adequate stock removal. Keep sander
in motion while the sanding drum is engaged with
the surface or dwell marks will occur.
5. Move the machine in the direction of the grain in
the wood whenever possible. Sand the surface
at a constant pace.
6. Gradually feather-cut out at the termination point
(the end of your pass) by easing the sanding drum
up with the control lever. Stagger the termination
points for a better blend when edging.
See fi gure # 11.
7. When replacing abrasive, emptying contents of
dust bag, or when sanding operation is com -
pleted, press selector switch to off (O) position.
Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
8. Empty dust bag whenever it is 1/3 full. Never
leave a dust bag unattended with sanding dust
in it. Sanding dust can spontaneously ignite and
cause a fi re or explosion. Empty dust into a metal
container clear of any combustible material.
