DISC SANDER OPERATION
1. Hold the disc sander firmly by its body hadle and side handle (Fig. 1).
The disc sander produces a counterforce which must be controlled by firmly holding
onto the disc sander.
2. Switch operation
This enables the disc sander always to be controlled with the hand gripping the machine
for maximum safety during grinding operations.
<Intermittent use>
Switch ON: Press the switch trigger.
Switch OFF: Release the switch trigger.
<Continuous use>
Switch ON: Press the switch trigger. The switch trigger is locked by pushing on
the locking button.
Switch OFF: Press and release the switch trigger.
3. Use light grinding pressure.
There is no need to press hard when grinding. Usually the disc sander’s own weight is
sufficient for the surface to be ground.
CAUTION: Do not press the disc sander forcibly against the surface to be ground. Heavy
pressure can damage the surface being ground or damage the disc sander’s
motor.
4. Use proper grinding angle.
Use the disc sander by lifting 15° to 30°, as
shown in Fig. 3.
5. Adjust operation to desired finish.
For a fine finish, decrease pressure by lifting
slightly. Grind slowly and at the appropriate
speed.
15° – 30°
