Helpful Hints
• Always ensure the workpiece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement. Any movement of the material may
affect the quality of the cutting or sandingfinish.
• Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper
attached to sandingplaten.
• Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit
for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the finishing surfaces. If
necessary, first make a test run on scrapmaterial.
• Excessive force will reduce the working efficiency and cause
motor overload. Replacing the accessory regularly will
maintain optimum workingefficiency.
• Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it will damage
the sandingpad.
• If the tool overheats, especially when used at low speed,
set the speed to maximum and run it with no load for 2–3
minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very
low speeds. Always keep the bladesharp.
