7. SELECT THE RIGHT SAND PAPER
Selecting the correct grit of sanding paper is an extremely
important decision that will allow you to achieve the best
quality sanding finish.
Coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit
will give you the best finish in all sanding operations. The
condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which
grit will do the job.
If the surface is rough:
Start with coarse grit (sold separately) and sand until
the surface is uniform. Then use medium to remove any
scratches left by the coarse grit. Then use finer grit (sold
separately) for finishing the surface.
NOTE: Always continue sanding with each grit until the
surface is uniform.
WORKING HINTS FOR
YOUR SANDER
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when
used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run
it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid
prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always use sand
paper that is suitable for the material you want to sand.
Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of
the sanding finish.
Start your sander before sanding and turn it off only after
you stop sanding. For the best results, sanding wood in
the direction of the grain.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it will damage
the base-plate. The guarantee does not cover base-plate
wear and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium
grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the final
surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap
material.
Use only good quality sandpaper.
The sandpaper controls the sanding efficiency, not the
amount of force you apply to the tool. Excessive force will
reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor overload.
Replacing the sandpaper regularly will maintain optimum
sanding efficiency.

MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your
power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean
your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store
your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation
slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust.
Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation
slots. This is normal.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons in order to avoid a hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If your sander will not operate, check the power at the
mains plug.
2. If the sander does not abrade surface, checking the
sanding paper. If the sanding paper has been worn,
replace the new paper and try again. The paper must be
kept in a dry place, if it is allowed to become damp, the
abrasive particles will lose their adhesion to the backing
paper and will not abrade.
3. If the sander dose not move smoothly, The sanding
paper may be loose, damaged or wrinkled. Replace and
try again.
4. If a fault cannot be rectified return the sander to an
authorized dealer for repair.
