WARNING!
Disconnect sander from power supply before changing accessories, servicing
or performing maintenance. Replace or repair any damaged parts. Use genuine parts only,
unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
4.1. After each 50 hours use (or as required), remove dust by blowing air through the side vents
and around the pad bearing. Periodic cleaning will prolong machine life.
4.2. Change pads when required. Ensure pad and disc RPM ratings are equal to, or exceed the
machine rating. If the disc becomes unbalanced, it will cause the bearings to wear.
4.3. Check brushes every 200 hours of use. To access, remove plastic plugs located on each side
of sander (fig1.6), taking care not to lose brush springs. Change brushes when worn to half
original length or if cracked or damaged. Failure to do so will damage armature and cause arcing.
4.4. All other service and maintenance must be carried out by an authorised service agent.
