Disc Sander Operation - Hitachi S 18SA Manual De Instrucciones

DISC SANDER OPERATION

1. Hold the disc sander firmly by its body hadle and side handle (Fig. 1).
The disc sander produces a counterforce which must be controlled by firmly holding
onto the disc sander.
2. Switch operation
This enables the disc sander always to be controlled with the hand gripping the machine
for maximum safety during grinding operations.

Switch ON:
Switch OFF: Release the switch trigger.
<Continuous use>

Switch OFF: Press and release the switch trigger.
3. Use light grinding pressure.
There is no need to press hard when grinding. Usually the disc sander's own weight is
sufficient for the surface to be ground.
CAUTION: Do not press the disc sander forcibly against the surface to be ground. Heavy
pressure can damage the surface being ground or damage the disc sander's
motor.
4. Use proper grinding angle.
Use the disc sander by lifting 15° to 30°, as
shown in Fig. 2.
5. Adjust operation to desired finish.
For a fine finish, decrease pressure by lifting
slightly. Grind slowly and at the appropriate
speed.
6. Precaution after use
CAUTION: Do not lay the disc sander down
immediately after using on a
place where there are many
shavings, much dirt and dust
until it has completely stopped
revolving.
If the disc sander is laid down
with the sanding disc turned
downward
completely stopped revolving,
there is a risk that the material
may be damaged and the disc
sander may run wild, resulting
in injury.
