Dependent on what sanding grit barrel has been selected,
the powertool can be used when sanding wood, metal,
plastic and similar materials. It is used mainly for quickly
removing a large amount of material. Do not use this sander
for sanding magnesium or steel.
Note: When sanding ensure that the depth adjustment dial
is set on the ‘O’ setting.
To achieve the best sanding result with this power tool the
following instructions and tips should be adhered to.
1. Prior to commencing the sanding application,
ensure that the sanding barrel
is in good condition and fixed tightly.
