dispose of into a suitable container. Fit a new paper dust bag.
Reconnect to the power supply and continue sanding. Never
reuse the paper dust bag or attempt to empty it.
6. Change the abrasive when the quality of the sanding is
reduced or the abrasive becomes clogged.
7.. When taking a break from work switch OFF (O) and
disconnect the power cable from the power supply, remove
and dispose of the paper dust bag.
9. On completion disconnect the power cable from the power
supply. Remove and dispose of the paper dust bag. Lock the
handle in the upright position and stow the power cable. Lock
the dust bag frame in its up position. Leave the old abrasive pad
in-place to protect the dust brushes. Carry out maintenance as
recommended in Maintenance and Servicing.
DANGER: never leave the floor sander unattended with
dust in the dust bag. Always remove the dust bag and
dispose of into a suitable container.
CAUTION: to prevent damage to the floor surface, work
piece or machine follow these rules.
i. Always ensure that the floor sander is moving when in
operation and the sanding pad is in contact with the
floor.
ii. Never lift the back or front of the machine when sanding.
iii. Never apply pressure to try and increase the rate of
sanding. Damage to the floor will occur.
iv. Never bounce or drop the floor sander on to the floor,
always lower the machine gently.
v. Never dwell in one place, move steadily at all times.
vi. Never allow the power cable to come into contact with
the sanding pad.
HTF SANDING WEIGHT
The HTF is a high performance orbital floor sander designed for the
sanding and refinishing of all types of wood flooring and decking.
Wood floors and decks come in a wide range of soft and hard
woods with many different types of stains and finishes. Productive
sanding means getting the abrasive to cut at its optimal speed
and pressure for the type of wood and surface finish that is being
sanded.
The HTF Sanding Weight allows the operator to add weight to
the HTF via a simple ‘clip on clip off’ system to optimize sanding
performance when needed.
SET UP
The HTF Sanding Weight is supplied ‘empty’ and must be filled to
add weight. Use builders sand as detailed below.
1. Remove the cap.
2. Fill the HTF Sanding Weight with dry builders sand, also
known as sharp sand or concreting sand, using a hand trowel.
As you fill the weight with the first few trowel full’s shake the
weight to help settle the sand into the corners.
Do not use coarse sand or aggregates with stones. Use dry
sand only. Do not fill with water or any other fluid.
3. When the weight is approximately half full fit the weight to the
HTF (see below ‘How to Use’). Place the HTF on a wooden
board that you can sand. Fit an abrasive backing pad and a
HTF sanding sheet of any grit. If you have a used abrasive
backing pad and sanding sheet use these.
4. Run the HTF for two (2) minutes to vibrate the sand down into
the weight, Remove the weight and continue to fill with sand.
5. Repeat operation 3 and 4 above until the weight is full and
the sand is approximately 2.5cm (1”) from the top of the cap.
Refit the cap.
Do not over fill. Take care that any spilt sand is brushed off the
weight before fitting to the HTF. Do not allow sand to enter the
HTF motor or any other working parts.
When full the weight will be approximately 27kg (63lbs). As
the HTF is used the sand will settle and become more compact
within the body of the weight. Additional sand can be added
if required. Do not exceed the recommended maximum weight
of 30kg (66lbs).
Note the actual weight will vary depending on the grade and type
off sand used.
MAXIMUM WEIGHT : 30kg (66lbs)
HOW TO USE
1. The HTF Sanding Weight is simply clipped onto the HTF. Use
both hands to lift the weight, holding the weight as illustrated
below.
2. Stand in front of the HTF and rest the front edge of the weight
onto the HTF base. Then tip the weight back so that the back
lugs fit over the back edge of the HTF base. Take care not to
trap your fingers between the weight and the HTF handle.
3. To remove the weight reverse the procedure as detailed in 2
above.
WHEN TO USE
Use on hard wood floors and engineered floors with hard surface
finishes. Use with 40 grit and 60 grit abrasives for rapid stock
removal.
Note that to much weight will increase friction and reduce the life
of the abrasive. The abrasive will only ‘cut’ as deep as the abrasive
grit size. Always test sand first before using the HTF Sanding
Weight.
