OPERATION
OPERATING THE DRYWALL SANDER
1. Hold the machine with both hands.
2. Do not hold the machine by the machine’s head.
3. Before operation, make sure every fastener and nut
has been properly engaged and that the sanding pad has
been properly installed and aligned.
4. Before switching on the machine, keep the sanding
head slightly away from the work surface.
5. Do not press down too hard in order to avoid over-

loading the sander. Use proper pressure for better sanding effects. If the machine slows or bogs down, immediately
lessen the applied pressure. The quality of the results are mainly determined by choosing the right abrasive material
for the job.
6. Once the sanding task has been completed, turn off the machine. Wait for the pad to stop rotating before setting
down the machine.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL
Use the speed wheel (Fig. 5 - 1) to adjust anywhere from 600 to 1500 RPM. This drywall sander is equipped with
constant speed control to keep the pad running at a consistent rate despite changes in applied load.
TURNING ON THE DRYWALL SANDER
After setting the variable speed to your desired RPM, power the machine by pressing forward on the power switch
(Fig. 5 - 2).

MAINTENANCE
REPLACING THE SANDING PAD
Insert the hex wrench into the hexagonal screw (Fig. 6
- 1) located in the center of the hook and loop sand-
ing pad. Hold the pad firmly while turning the wrench to
unscrew the center hex screw. Replace the pad with an
identical part suited for this particular model of drywall
sander. Attach firmly in place using the hexagonal screw.
CLEANING YOUR DRYWALL SANDER
Your drywall sander requires no additional lubrica-
tion or maintenance. Always store your sander in a dry
place away from children. If the supply cord is dam-
aged, it must be r placed by the manufacturer or a simi-
larly qualified technician. Do not use a damaged tool.
If excessive sparking occurs, have the carbon brushes checked by a qualified electrician. Only a qualified technician
should change the carbon brushes.
Clean the unit immediately after using it. Regularly clean the unit with a damp cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use
cleaners or solvents as they will attack the plastic of the unit. Make sure water does not get into the unit.
