MACHINE SET-UP Cont.
Preparing the Machine for Operation
1. Remove screw and abrasive retainer. Center abrasive on pad and secure with
abrasive retainer and screw. (Figure 3)
2. Return machine to upright position and tilt machine back on casters until it comes
to rest on the exhaust bracket. Machine will be in a reclined position. Do not
allow machine to rest on pad especially after use, or compression set may take
place within elastomer on pad. This will create a fl at spot and bounce during use.
(Figure 4)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Move machine to the location of your work. Set any exposed nails with hammer
and punch to avoid encounter with abrasive.
WARNING:
Bodily injury could occur if power is applied to
the machine with the power switch already in the "ON" position. Always
check to assure that the power switch is in the "OFF" position before
applying power to the power cable.
2. Make sure the control switch is in the "Off" position then connect the supply cable
to an appropriately grounded fused circuit. Connect the supply cable to the motor
pigtail. (Figure 5)
3. With the machine in the reclined position fi rmly grasp both handles and fl ip the
control switch to the "ON" position. (Figure 4.)
4.
Gradually lower pad to surface intended for sanding. Make sure the machine
is in motion while the pad is engaged with the surface to be sanded. You
may use broad circular motion as you sand along the length of the surface or
your may use a combination of forward and sideward motions. In time you
will develop your own technique to optimize coverage and dust recovery. It is
advisable to not add effort to the pad as this may lead to "nosing in" or "tipping"
which produces grooves or lines on the surface.
5.
When replacing abrasive, emptying the contents of the dust bag, or sanding
operation is completed, return machine to reclined position, fl ip control switch
to "Off" then disconnect the motor pigtail from the supply cable.
6.
Empty dust bag whenever it becomes 1/3 full.
