TRANSPORTING THE MACHINE
Ø When transporting the machine, always carry with both handles.
Ø If transporting inside a vehicle, it is recommended to transport it on its side so as to avoid the item falling
over.
Ø DO NOT carry the machine by the cord.
Ø DO NOT allow the cord or plug to drag along the floor when transporting.
RUNNING THE MACHINE
Ø Do all pre-operational and operational safety checks from Chapter 1.
Ø Consider your security and stability as well as the orientation of the machine in the work area.
o Consider the work surface material, condition, strength, density and rigidity. These factors
directly affect the tools operation and user safety.
Ø Ensure the secondary handle is securely attached.
o It can be connected from the right or left side.
Ø Ensure the work surface is free of debris, oil, etc.
Ø Select appropriate grit sanding paper. Install paper.

Ø Very slowly engage the sanding paper with the material surface by lightly engaging towards the material.
Ensure the sanding belt is parallel to the work surface. Operating at right angles will ensure the belt does

should be avoided as it can cause damage to the machine or the user.
