WARNING:
Do not sand metal with this sander.
Sanding metal will cause sparks that may ignite wood
and dust particles on the sander or in the workshop.
NOTE:
The spindle rotates in an anti-clockwise
direction.
Check the machine is mounted securely on the
workbench and the Spindle Lock Nut
(6)
is fastened
correctly with appropriate sanding sleeve and table
insert in place.
Wear appropriate safety equipment, including face
mask and safety glasses, then switch on the dust
extraction system (if available).
Remove dust and dirt regularly. Frequently blow
or vacuum dust away from all sander parts and the
motor housing.
Periodically remove the table insert and lower washer
from the spindle and remove any dust accumulation
in the table insert area.
Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Turn the sander ON and allow the motor to reach full
speed.
IMPORTANT:
Feed the workpiece gradually,
AGAINST
the direction of rotation, onto the sanding
sleeve. Failure to do this could force the workpiece
away from the sanding sleeve with risk of injury. Do
not force the workpiece or apply excessive force.
When finished, turn off the machine and disconnect
from mains power.
Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts
of the tool. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is
recommended. Water must never come into contact
with the tool.
