OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

This palm sander is equipped with a dust-
sealed ON/OFF rocker switch, located on
the front of the handle.

b) To turn off the sander, press the “O”
mark of the on/off switch.
WARNING:
Always lift the sander
from the workpiece before switching on or
switch off.
6. Sanding
This sander has been designed for
even weight distribution which virtually
eliminates the use of pressure. Excessive
pressure to the sander may result in
an uneven sanding job and premature
grit wear. Constant and excessive
pressure can cause overheating and
possible damage to the motor as well as
premature wear out of the pad on hook
and loop models.
It’s usually best to work in strokes that
parallel the grain, using some lateral
motion so the main strokes are overlapped as much as 75%.
If the surface is rough, start sanding with a coarse grit sheet, then medium and then finish
with a fine or extra fine abrasive. This procedure will vary with different types of materials
and work. Continue to sand with each grit until the surface looks uniform. When going from
one grit size to a finer size, do not skip more than two sizes.
To remove the greatest amount of stock, use a coarse grit and move the sander steadily
over the entire surface against the grain as well as with the grain. DO NOT REMAIN IN ONE
SPOT TOO LONG. It may remove too much material and uneven sanding will result. Sanding
with the grain of the wood gives the smoothest final finish.
Additional abrasive sheets can be conveniently cut from large-size commercially available
sheets (standard size: 9” x 11-1/16”; 228 x 280mm). Cut into four pieces of equal size as
shown. Choose the proper grit for the job.
