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.
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.
Emptying the Dust Bag
See Figure 8.
For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is
no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow
through the bag better. Always empty and clean the dust
bag thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation
and before placing the sander in storage.
WARNING:
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coat-
ings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-
ignite in your sander dust bag or elsewhere and
cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire always empty
your dust bag frequently (10-15 minutes) while sand-
ing and never store or leave a sander without totally
emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recommenda-
tions of the coatings manufacturers.
Follow these steps to empty the dust bag.
1. Unplug the sander.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
2. Remove the dust bag from the sander.
3. Shake out the dust.
4. Reattach the dust bag to the sander.
For a more thorough cleaning of the dust bag, remove
dust bag from frame, as shown in figure 9, and shake out
dust. Replace dust bag over frame then install dust bag
assembly on sander.
