,_ WARNING: Before connecting your sander to
power supply source, always check to be sure
the switch is not in ON position. Failure to do so
could result in accidental starting of your sander
resulting in possible serious injury.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
_k CAUTION: Be careful not to let hand cover
your
the air vents.
SANDING
See Figures 6 and 7.
Clamp or otherwise secure the work to prevent it from
moving under your sander.
_L, WARNING: Unsecured work could be thrown
towards the operator causing injury.
Fig. 6
Place sander on workpiece so that all of sanding disc
surface is in contact with workpiece. Start your sander
and move it slowly over workpiece making successive
passes in parallel lines, circles, or crosswise
movements. Upon completion of sanding operation,
turn sander off and wait until sanding disc comes to a
complete stop before removing from workpiece.
Do not force. The weight of the unit supplies
adequate pressure, so let the sanding disc and
sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only
slows the motor, rapidly wears sanding disc and
greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure
will overload the motor causing possible damage from
motor overheating and can result in inferior work. Any
finish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional
heat. Do not allow sanding on one spot too long as
the sander's rapid action may remove too much
material, making the surface uneven.
Fig. 7
Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the
motor. If this occurs, turn sander off and wait until
sanding disc comes to a complete stop, then remove
it from workpiece. Remove your hand from vent area,
remove sanding disc, then with your hand removed
from vent area, turn sander on and run it free without
a load to cool motor.
Flush sanding can be performed with your sander. As
shown in Figure 7, the front edge of your sander
allows flush sanding. Upon completion of sanding
operation, turn sander off and wait until sanding disc
comes to a complete stop before removing from
workpiece.
A
CAUTION: To ensure proper brake operation
after extended use, periodically check its
operation by removing the sanding disc and
running your sander without load (off the
workpiece). The backing pad should not take
longer than 6 seconds to stop. If it takes longer
than 6 seconds to stop, then brake should be
replaced.
Note: The brake is available and can be
purchased through Replacement Parts at your
nearest Sears Retail Store.
