SANDING – cont’d
NOTE: Hold the detail sander using the grip on
top of the sander. Be careful NOT to cover the
motor cooling vents (1) with your hand (Fig. 9).
Motor damage may occur from overheating if
the cooling vents are covered.
DO NOT FORCE THE SANDER. The weight of
the sander usually provides adequate pressure.
Let the sander and the sandpaper do the work.
Applying added pressure will slow the motor,
increase the wear on the sandpaper and greatly
reduce the sander speed. Motor damage may
occur if excessive downward pressure is applied.
It will also create an inferior finish on sanded
work. Any finish or resin on wood will soften
from the frictional heat, causing the sandpaper
to become clogged very quickly. Do not sand in
one spot too long as the sander’s rapid action
may remove too much material, making the
surface uneven.
Extended periods of sanding may cause the
motor to run hot. If this occurs, turn the sander
OFF and wait until the sanding pad comes to a
complete stop before lifting it from the workpiece.
While allowing the motor to cool down, brush,
shake or vacuum any dust accumulated in the
vents before continuing the sanding operation.
Upon completion of the sanding operation, turn
the sander OFF by pressing on the lower
ON/OFF switch button. Wait until the sanding
pad comes to a complete stop before removing
it from the workpiece.
