PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

CHOOSING SANDING PAPER

Coarse-grained sanding paper is used for coarse processing of most materials, while ﬁne-grained paper is

used for ﬁnishing works.

Ɣ When the surface is not ﬂat, start the work with coarse-grained sanding paper and continue until the

surface is ﬂat.

Ɣ Next use middle-grained paper to remove traces of coarse processing.

Ɣ To ﬁnish the work use ﬁne-grained sanding paper.

INSTALLATION OF ABRASIVE PAPER

The sander features backing pad with hook-and-loop fastener (Velcro), which allows for easy and rapid

replacement of abrasive paper.

Ɣ Hold abrasive paper close to backing pad (5), making sure that holes on the abrasive paper “a” match

holes on the backing pad then press to ensure eﬀective discharge of dust (Fig. A).

Ɣ To remove the abrasive paper, deﬂect it on one side and then pull it.

Use perforated abrasive paper, so the dust can reach extraction holes in the backing pad to dust

discharge installation. Each time prior to replacing used abrasive paper with a new one make sure

to remove dust and any contamination from the sander backing pad, using a tool such as brush of

paintbrush.

DUST EXTRACTION

Orbital sander features a dust bag for collecting dust (3) to maintain the processed surface clean.

Ɣ Slide the dust bag mounting (3) onto the dust discharge outlet (4) and secure by turning it right (g. B).

Ɣ Check whether the dust bag is ﬁrmly ﬁxed on the dust discharge outlet (4) by pulling it gently (the dust

bag is sealed with a rubber O-ring seal).

The dust bag is located in a plastic case. In order to empty it, the lower section of the plastic case must be

slid down, the dust bag must be taken out of its mount and its contents can be disposed of. The dust bag

must be fastened in the reverse order to the disassembly.
