• Keep the Sander in constant motion whilst the abrasive disc
is in contact with the work surface. Use a steady, sweeping
motion, allowing the rotating abrasive disc to 'float' over the
work surface. Moving the Sander erratically or concentrating
for too long on one area can also cause swirl marks or
unevenness in the work surface.
WARNING: Do not allow the rotating abrasive disc to contact
sharp objects such as protruding nails, screws etc or architectural
wall fittings such as electrical boxes or switch plates etc. Damage
to the Sander or the wall fittings could result.
MAINTENANCE
The Sanding Head Brush Skirt (Fig. 13)
The Brush Skirt surrounds the Sanding Pad to which the abrasive
discs are applied. The Brush Skirt serves two (2) main purposes:
• It extends below the surface of the abrasive discs so that it
contacts the work surface first, orientating the Sanding Head.
This helps prevent the rotating abrasive disc from 'gouging'
the work surface on first contact.
• It helps contain the dust particles within the swivelling
Sanding Head until the airflow from an attached extraction
machines sucks the dust away.
Over time, depending upon the frequency of use and the type
of material sanded, the bristles on the Brush Skirt will become
degraded and worn. The bristles on the Brush Skirt must be
complete with no gaps or portions missing.
A new Brush Skirt has a bristle length of approximately 15mm.
Replace the Brush Skirt when the length of the bristles is
approximately 8mm, or when the bristles no longer extend
below the surface of an installed sanding disc.
To replace the Brush Skirt
WARNING: Only attempt this procedure with the machine
disconnected from the mains power supply.
• Remove any attached abrasive disc to reveal the Sanding
Pad and the centrally located Hex Headed Socket Screw that
attaches the Pad to the motors drive spindle.
• Holding the Sanding Pad with the palm of one hand (Fig. 14),
insert the supplied 5mm Hex Key into the head of the central
screw. Loosen and remove the screw. Remove the Sanding Pad
from the motors drive spindle.
• Use a cross-head screwdriver and remove the six (6) self
tapping screws and the special fixing clips. (Fig. 15) that
