SANDING – cont’d 

 

Upon completion of the sanding operation, turn 

the sander OFF by pressing on the opposite 

side of the ON/OFF switch. Wait until the 

sanding pad comes to a complete stop before 

removing it from the workpiece. 

 

     WARNING:

 Your sander should only be 

turned ON when the entire surface of the 

sanding pad is in contact with the workpiece.  

Failure to follow this sanding procedure 

could result in loose sandpaper which could 

result in possible injury. 

 

NOTE: Hold the sander using the grip on top 

of the sander. Be careful NOT to cover the 

motor cooling vents with your hand. Motor 

damage may occur from over heating if the 

cooling vents are covered. 

 

DO NOT FORCE THE SANDER. The weight of 

the sander usually provides adequate pressure. 

Let the sander and the sandpaper do the work. 

Applying added pressure will slow the motor, 

increase the wear on the sandpaper and greatly 

reduce the sander speed. Motor damage may 

occur if excessive downward pressure is 

applied. It will also create an inferior finish on 

sanded work. Any finish or resin on wood will 

soften from the frictional heat, causing the 

sandpaper to become clogged very quickly. Do 

not sand in one spot too long as the sander’s 

rapid action may remove too much material, 

making the surface uneven. 

 

Extended periods of sanding may tend to 

overheat the motor. If this occurs, turn sander 

OFF, wait until the sanding pad comes to a 

complete stop and remove it from the 

workpiece. Check to make sure your hand has 

not been covering the cooling vents. Let the 

motor cool before continuing the sanding 

operation.
