6. KEEP BYSTANDERS AT A SAFE DISTANCE from the work area, especially when the tool is operating.

NEVER allow children or pets near the tool.

7. DO NOT wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, or jewelry (rings, watches, etc.) When operating the tool. Inap-

DO NOT operate the tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication that may affect

your ability to properly use the tool.

11. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS. Check for alignment of moving parts, jamming, breakage, improper

mounting, or any other conditions that may affect the tool’s operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly

repaired or replaced before use.

Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord

or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive

heat and damp/wet areas.

12. AVOID ACCIDENTAL START-UPS. Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before plugging in

the power cord.

13. REMOVE ADJUSTMENT TOOLS. Always make sure all adjustment tools are removed from the saw before

Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected

with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF

4. Do not put down the machine until the pad’s rotation has completely stopped.

5. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing the drywall sander.

6. Do not use sanding discs larger than the recommended size (11-1/4 in. for triangular disk and 9 in. for round disk)

7. Accessories need to be rated at a minimum of 1500 RPM. Do not use accessories rated at speeds below the

machine’s maximum RPM.

8. Never use damaged accessories. Always check whether accessories are nicked or cracked prior to operation; in

particular, the grinding pad support plate. RUN THE MACHINE AT MAXIMUM SPEED FOR ONE MINUTE

in order to test accessories before using them to sand anything. Make sure bystanders stand clear during this testing

phase.

9. Regularly clean your machine’s exhaust/dust port.

been properly installed and aligned.

4. Before switching on the machine, keep the sanding head slightly away from the work surface.

Use the speed wheel (Fig. F - 1) to adjust anywhere from 600 to

1500 RPM. This drywall sander is equipped with constant speed

control to keep the pad running at a consistent rate despite changes

in applied load.

After setting the variable speed to your desired RPM, power the

machine by pressing forward on the power switch (Fig. F - 2).

6. Once the sanding task has been completed, turn off the machine. Wait for the pad to stop rotating before set-

ting down the machine.

Clean the unit immediately after using it. Regularly clean the unit with a damp cloth and a little soft soap. Do not

use cleaners or solvents as they will attack the plastic of the unit. Make sure water does not get into the unit.

Your drywall sander requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. Always store your sander in a dry place

away from children.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or a similarly qualified technician.

DO NOT USE A DAMAGED TOOL.. If excessive sparking occurs, have the carbon brushes checked by a

qualified electrician. Only a qualified technician should change the carbon brushes.

1) Have the socket and plug checked by an autho-

The plastic shaft cap on the back of the triangular base pad (Fig. G

- 1) and the round base pad is a consumable item that needs to be

routinely replaced. Spare caps are included on the back of the trian-

gular pad (Fig. G - 2). Use the spanner to remove the worn shaft cap

and replace with a new cap.

Adjust the angle of the shaft cap with a spanner to match the hole

alignment (Fig. B) before attaching it back onto the drywall sander.

of drywall sander. Attach firmly in place with the screws.

FOR ROUND SANDING PAD:

Insert the hex wrench into the hexagonal screw (Fig. I - 1) located in

the center of the hook and loop sanding pad. Hold the pad firmly

while turning the wrench to unscrew the center hex screw. Replace

the pad with an identical part suited for this particular model of dry-

wall sander. Attach firmly in place using the hexagonal screw.
