OPERATION
TO OPERATE
Clamp or otherwise secure the work to prevent it from
moving under your sander.
Before placingsander on work surface, squeeze the switch
trigger and let the motor reach its maximum speed, then
lower your sander to the work surface with a slightforward
motion,Using the rear handle to control yoursander and the
front handleonlyto guideit, move itslowlyover thework. See
Figure 1I, Allowingyour sander to remain inone place will
result in an uneven surface,
Your sander was designed to provide the proper weighton
the sanding belt.
Excessive pressure will result in the following:
1. Uneven work.
2. Clogged sanding belts.
3. Premature sanding belt wear. Removal rate will not
increase.
4. Possible motor burnout.
5. Irregular sanding belt tracking.
NOTE: If the sanding bed moves while sanding, you may be
applying too much pressure. When this occurs remove
sander from workpiece. If belt tracking is properly adjusted,
sanding belt will return to its normal and correct position on
the drive miter and front pulley.
Use a coarser belt when heavy sanding is desired, not heavy
pressure. The importance of this cannot be over-empha-
sized. Weight has been built into the tool to give the most
efficient pressure at the proper location.
EXTENSION CORDS
The useof any extension cordwillcause some lossof power. TOkeep the lossto a minimumand to prevent tooloverheating,
use anextension cordthat isheavy enough to car_ the current the tool willdraw. The smaller the gauge number of thewire,
the greater the capacity of the cable. For example, 16 gauge wire has more capacity than 18 gauge w=re+ Follow the
recommended cord sizes on the chart provided to determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord,
Extension Cord Length Wire Gauge Size (A.W.G.)
25-50 Feet 16
50-100 Feet 14
When workingwithyourtool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable foroutdoor useand so marked, Outdoor useextension
