Tool Operation - Ozito OZDS280WA Instruction Manual

TOOL OPERATION

CAUTION: Before attempting to use your sander, be sure to familiarise yourself
with all its operating features and safety requirements.
WARNING! The sander should always be disconnected from the power supply
! !
when assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning or when the tool is not
in use. Disconnecting the sander will prevent accidental starting that could
cause serious injury.
On/Off Switch
1. To start the tool, push the ON/OFF switch (1)
forward to "1" position.
2. To switch off the tool, push the ON/OFF switch
(1) backward to "0" position.
Selecting the variable speed
With the variable speed dial (2), the rate of
oscillation can be selected (also during operation).
The optimum speed depends on the material and
should be determined by sanding on a scrap piece
of material.
Sanding Tips
Never force the sander. The weight of the sander supplies adequate pressure, allowing
the sandpaper to do the work. Applying additional pressure will slow the motor,
rapidly wear the sandpaper, and greatly reduce the sander speed. This will slow the
removal rate and produce an inferior quality surface.
CAUTION: Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing possible damage
to the sander by overheating the motor; or damage to the workpiece.
Be sure to check your workpiece often. The sander is capable of removing material
rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
The orbital action of your sander allows you to sand with the grain, or at any angle
across it for most sanding jobs. In the final stages a better finish will be achieved by
sanding with the grain.
Do not sand on one spot for too long. The sander's rapid action may remove too
much material, creating an uneven surface.
