NOTICE: Avoid overloading your sander. Overloading
will result in a considerable reduction in speed and
finish quality of your work. The unit may also become
hot. In this event, run sander at a no load condition for
a minute or two.
To operate your sander, grasp it as shown in Figure G and
turn it on. Move the sander in long, sweeping strokes along
the surface being sanded, letting the sander do the work.
Pushing down on the tool while sanding actually slows
the removal rate and produces an inferior quality surface.
Be sure to check your work often, this sander is capable of
removing material rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
The random orbital action of your sander allows you to sand
with the grain or at any angle across it for most sanding
jobs. To produce the best finish possible, start with coarse
grit sandpaper and change gradually to finer and finer
paper. Vacuum and wipe surface with a tack cloth between
grit steps. Your sander is designed to sand into small or
confined areas. Its small size and light weight make it ideal
for overhead work.
The rate at which the dust collection bag fills up will vary
with the type of material being sanded and the coarseness
of the sandpaper. For best results, empty the bag frequently.
When sanding painted surfaces, (see the following for
additional precautions when sanding paint) you may
find that the sandpaper loads up and clogs with paint. A
heat gun will work much better to remove paint before
sanding. FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS IN HEAT GUN
INSTRUCTION MANUAL.
Precautions to Take When Sanding Paint
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due
to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust.
The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and
pregnant women.
Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains
lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the
following precautions when sanding any paint:
1. PERsOnAl sAFETY
No children or pregnant women should enter the
-
work area where the paint sanding is being done
until all clean up is completed.
-
A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all
persons entering the work area. The filter should be
replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty
breathing. See your local hardware store for the
proper NIOSH-approved dust mask.
-
NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done
in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated
paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up
BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food,
drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area
where dust would settle on them.
2. EnViROnMEnTAl sAFETY
-
Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dust generated.
