To install the vacuum cleaner hose:
1. Unplug the machine.
2. Plug the vacuum cleaner hose bayonet mount into the swivel mount
in the back of the machine. Once the tangs of the bayonet mount are
fully inserted in the slots, hold the swivel mount from turning and turn
the hose bayonet mount clockwise to lock.
3. Removal is the opposite of assembly.
The vacuum cleaner:
Ensure that you have a bag installed in your vacuum cleaner which is approved and rated for
plasterboard dust.
WARNING:
Failure to use an approved dust bag in your vacuum will increase the level of
airborne dust in the work area. Prolonged exposure to such dust may cause respiratory harm.
Make sure that the power circuit voltage is the same as that shown on the specification plate of the
machine and that switch is “OFF” before connecting the tool to the power circuit.
Switching the machine on and off
To switch on:
While holding with the left hand on the column and the right hand on the main handle,
Press the rocker switch to the right with the thumb of the right hand. Anticipate and be ready for the
start up torque when the machine first starts.
To switch off:
Press the rocker switch to the left. After the machine has been switched off, the
sanding disc will still rotate for a time. Take care that parts of your body do not come into contact with
the disc and do not set the machine down while it is still rotating!
Adjusting the rotation speed:
The speed of the machine is variable to suit different tasks. It can be
adjusted from 650/min up to 1600/min by using the thumb wheel. Using
the right thumb, turn in the downward (counterclockwise) direction to
increase the speed and in the upward (clockwise) direction to decrease
the speed. Generally, you should use the higher speed for fast stock
removal and the lower speed for more precise control.
Effective control of this powerful sander requires
two-handed
operation for maximum safety and
control.
The proper hold is to keep one hand on the main handle and the other hand on the sponge grip on the
column. It is vitally important to keep stable footing at all times, especially when standing on scaffolding
or stilts.
