OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
8. Sanding
WARNING
• Sanding can produce clouds of fine dust particles that can ignite in the presence of sparks
or an open flame. To avoid injury, always use your sander in a well-ventilated area.
• For your safety and to avoid damage, turn the sander ON and OFF only when the sander is
not in contact with a surface.
a. Grasp the handles firmly.
b. Start the sander when only when it is not in contact with the work surface to avoid gouging
the work with the belt. NEVER start or stop the sander with the belt in contact with the
work surface.
c. Place the heel of the sander on the work surface first. Then, with a forward motion, begin
the sanding stroke when the tool is lowered onto the work surface.
d. Use short, overlapping strokes, moving the sander slowly back and forth across the work
surface.
e. Avoid tilting or rocking the sander or sanding in one spot for too long. This causes gashes
and hollows in the surface. Do not apply pressure to the sander. The sander is weighted
for the pressure needed. Too much pressure will overload the motor and reduce belt
speed.
f. Begin sanding with a coarser grit sandpaper and gradually use finer grits, until the desired
finish achieved. Do not switch from a coarse grit to a very fine grit in one-step.
g. To stop sanding, lift the sander from the work surface, then turn the tool OFF. Disengage
the lock-on button. Allow the sander to come to a complete stop before setting it down. A
moving belt will cause the sander to "run away" even if the motor is off.
