OPERATION
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable
regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, turn unit off and
disconnect tool from power source before installing and
removing accessories, before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
NOTICE: This sander is not to be used in drywall applications.
To operate your sander, grasp it as shown in Figure 9A or 9B and
turn it on. Move it 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.
Your sander is designed to sand flush on three sides for sanding in
corners, and its small size and light weight make it ideal for overhead
work.
FIG. 9A
The orbital action of your sander allows you to sand with the grain
or at any angle across it for most sanding jobs. On the final sanding
FIG. 9B
steps, as discussed below, a better finish will result if you sand only
with the grain.
To produce the best finish possible, start with coarse grit sandpaper
and change gradually to finer and finer paper. A final sanding with a
piece of well-worn fine sandpaper will produce a professional-looking
finish that in many cases will need no hand sanding at all. The rate
at which the dust collection bag will fill up will vary with the type of
material being sanded and the coarseness of the sandpaper. For best
results, empty the bag frequently and check the opening for clogging.
When sanding painted surfaces, 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
1. 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.
2. 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:
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area
where the paint sanding is being done until all clean-up is
completed.
2. 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.
3. 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.
