Resumen del manual
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. • Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation. Service • Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair personnel using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Additional safety rules for sanders Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance. • Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating. • When an extension cable is required, you must ensure it has the right ampere rating for your power tool and is in a safe electrical condition. • Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your tool rating plate voltage. • Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool. • Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden power cables and pipes. • After long working periods external metal parts and accessories could be hot. • Do not force the sander; let the tool do the work at a reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too much pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting in inefficient sanding and possible damage to the sander motor. • When sanding wood, always connect the dust extraction filter. • Take special care to guard against harmful and toxic dusts when sanding lead-based painted surfaces, woods and metals, including the following: - All persons entering the work area must wear a mask specially designed for protection against toxic dust and fumes such as those arising from the sanding of lead paint . - Children and pregnant women must not enter the work area. - Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area. • Before using the sander with metal always remove the extraction filter from the outlet as sparks may ignite the dust or the internal bag. • Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged sanding sheets. • Do not touch the moving sanding sheet. • Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as nails and screws from the work before commencing sanding. • Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.

If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. Switching on and off 1. Connect the plug to the power supply. 2. Slide the on/off switch (3) forward to the “I” position to start the sander. Slide the on/off switch backwards to the “O” position to stop the sander. 3. Do not switch on the tool when the sanding surface is on the work. NOTE. Always lift the sander from the work before switching off. Adjusting the speed The speed can be adjusted to suit the material being sanded. 1. To adjust the speed, move the variable speed control (5) until you are satisfied that the speed is what you need for the job in hand. Changing and rotating the sanding base 1. Using the allen key, remove the 3 outer screws from the existing base, and remove the base from the sander. You do not need to loosen the centre screw as this controls the movement of the whole base. 2. Place the finger sanding extension onto the sanding base. Using the allen key, secure the finger sanding extension in position with the 3 screws. 3. You can rotate the sanding base in three different positions. This assures maximum utilization of the sanding paper when using the sander in small, hard-to- reach spots. Simply loosen the screw in the centre of the sanding base, and rotate the base to the new position. NOTE. To secure the new position, tighten the centre screw. Selecting the right grade of sandpaper Different grades of sanding paper can be purchased from your local hardware store. Available grades are: Coarse, Medium and Fine. Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work and fine grit to finish off. It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the optimum grades of sandpaper for a particular job...
