2.0 AMP PALM SANDER
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Selecting the right grade of sanding paper
Different grades of sanding paper can be purchased from the store where you purchased
the tool. Available grades are: Coarse, Medium and Fine.
Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work and fine
grit to finish off.
It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the optimum grades
of sanding paper for a particular job.

2. Attaching Abrasive Sheet
WARNING:
Always ensure the tool
is switched off and the plug is removed
before making any adjustments or
maintenance procedures.
a) To open clamping wire, lift
clamping lever out of it’s pocket
and then lower lever so it is
positioned as shown.
b) Place the abrasive sheet (grit side
up) between the clamping wire
and base plate while aligning
edges of the abrasive sheet with
either edge of the pad. (Pre-bending the sheet makes attachment easier.)
c) After inserting the sheet, raise clamping lever and return it to it’s original position
making sure the clamping wire is secure.
d) Wrap the sheet around the length of the pad and attach free end of sheet under
opposite clamp and repeat procedures a, b, & c above. The abrasive sheet must
be drawn as tight as possible for efficient sanding, as a loose sheet can slip on the
work surface.
