MAINTENANCE
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts should
be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic parts. They
could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.
Clean the vacuum swivel connector as too much dust will keep it from turning
freely.
THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and must be replaced when they
reach their wear limit.
NOTE: Checking and replacing the carbon brushes should be entrusted to a
qualified service center.
SANDING OPERATIONS
Once the machine and vacuum cleaner are set up and all safety measures and
equipment are in place, begin by turning on the vacuum cleaner and then the
machine. (If you are using a vacuum cleaner with integrated switching, then
simply turn the machine on.)
Begin sanding and carefully contact the work surface as lightly as possible-just
enough to keep the sanding head flat against the surface.
The best technique is to use overlapping sweeps and keep the head in constant
motion. Never stop too long in any one place or there will be swirl marks. With
experience it will be very easy to create excellent results.

NOTE: Ensure that the sandpaper you are using is suited to the task. Overly coarse
grit paper may remove material too quickly to control. While overly fine grit paper
may clog too often and not shape down the surface.
CAUTION: Take care to avoid pointed projections and nails, etc. This will wipe out
the sandpaper and probably damage the sponge pad as well.
