the workpiece. The sandpaper can come
loose if the full surface is not in contact with
the workpiece, which can result in damage.
• Hold the sander with both handles, with
both hands. Do not cover the ventilation
openings on the motor with your hands.
Covering the ventilation openings can
overheat and damage the motor.
Do not force the sander. The weight of the
sander is normally enough to achieve sufficient
pressure. Allow the sander and the sandpaper
to do the job. Pressing the sander will make
the motor and the sanding slower, and wear
out the sandpaper quicker. Too much pressure
can overheat and damage the motor. It will
also reduce the quality of the sanded surface.
Surface treatment products on the wood
(polish, varnish etc.) will soften as a result of
frictional heat, which can quickly reduce the
efficiency of the sandpaper. Do not sand in the
same place for too long, this can sand off too
much material and produce an uneven surface.
Sanding continuously for long periods without
a break can cause the motor to overheat. If this
happens, switch off the sander and wait until
the sanding pad stops, and then lift it off the
workpiece. Check that the ventilation openings
are open (not covered by your hands during the
work). Allow the motor to cool before resuming.
MAINTENANCE
CLEANING THE DUST CONTAINER
The dust container collects most of the dust
produced during the work. The container must
therefore be emptied at regular intervals to
make the collection of dust effective.
1. Press the sides of the dust container (1) and
pull it out from the end of the sander (2).
FIG. 3
2. Pull the top part of dust container (3)
loose from the bottom part (4).
NOTE: Open the dust container outdoors
or over a paper bag or dustbin, because
the dusts comes straight out.
FIG. 4
3. Shake out all the dust from the dust
container.
4. Use a soft, dry brush to remove dust from
the filter inside the top part.
5. Put the dust container back together
again after emptying it. The parts click in
place when put together correctly.
6. Replace the dust container on the back of
the sander.
NOTE:
The tabs (5) snap in place when the dust
container is pushed in the back of the sander.
General
Do not use solvent to clean the plastic parts.
The plastic can be damagedby different types
of commercially available solvent. Use a clean
cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil and grease etc.
Power tools wear out more quickly if they
are used for fibreglass, plaster or putty. Dust
from these materials puts strain on bearings,
brushes and commutators. It is therefore not
recommended to use the sander for more
extensive work on fibreglass materials, plaster
or putty. If the sander is used to sand any of
these materials it is very important to clean it
often with compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All the bearings in this Sheet sander are
lubricated with high quality lubricant and this
lubricant is intended to last for the entire life
span of the sander in normal conditions.
No further lubrication is therefore necessary.
