SAFETY INTRODUCTION Thanks for purchasing the WEN Drywall Sander! This handheld drywall sander is ideal for detailed sanding, giving you greater intimacy with your drywall. Safe operation of this tool requires that you read and understand this operator’s manual and all labels affixed to the tool. This manual provides information regarding potential safety concerns, as well as helpful assembly and operating instructions for your drywall sander. SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL: Indicates danger, warning, or caution.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all instructions may result in electric shock, fire and serious injury. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. WORK AREA SAFETY 1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. 2.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES 5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. 6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 7. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR DRYWALL SANDERS WARNING: Do not let comfort or familiarity with the product replace strict adherence to product safety rules. Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury. 1. This power tool is intended for sanding drywall for home use only. Using this tool for professional purposes will reduce the tool’s lifespan and cause parts to wear down sooner. Do not force the machine to do other jobs, such as grinding, cutting off, grooming, etc.
SPECIFIC RULES FOR DRYWALL SANDERS KICKBACK AND RELATED WARNINGS Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
ELECTRICAL INFORMATION DOUBLE INSULATION Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, where two systems of insulation are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product.
KNOW YOUR SANDER Carefully remove the tool and all contents from the packaging. Check all components against the diagram below. If any part is damaged or missing, please contact our customer service at (800) 232-1195, M-F 8-5 CST or email us at techsupport@wenproducts.com.
ASSEMBLY WARNING: To prevent injury from accidental operation, make sure the tool is switched OFF and unplugged from the power source before assembling the tool or making any adjustments. ATTACHING THE AUXILIARY HANDLE For safe operation, the auxiliary handle must be installed. The handle can be assembled onto either side of the tool, depending on your preference. Thread the handle into the mounting hole and turn it clockwise to tighten (Fig. 1). Make sure the handle is securely mounted.
OPERATION WARNING: To prevent serious injury, make sure all the warnings and instructions have been read and understood before operating this tool. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL Use the variable speed dial (Fig. 4 - 1) to adjust the base pad’s rotating speed between 1500 and 2300 RPM, depending on your task at hand. Use lower speeds for coarse sanding, or cleaning plastic and water stains from the work surface. Use higher speeds for fine sanding to achieve a smooth finish.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: To avoid accidents, make sure the power switch is in the OFF position and unplug the tool from the electrical outlet before cleaning or performing any maintenance. Servicing of the tool must be performed by a qualified technician. GENERAL MAINTENANCE 1. Before each use, inspect the general condition of the tool.
