How to Operate the Machine (cont.)
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the surface,
make sure the machine is always
moving when the sanding drum is
in contact with the floor.
2. Work right to left. For each forward pass, move
the machine 4" over the pass you have just
finished. Retrace your reverse path without
overlapping. See figure # 9
3. Feather-cut in by easing the sanding drum down
onto the surface with the control lever while the
sander is in motion.
4. When sanding drum is fully engaged with the
surface, release control lever and adjust your
pace for adequate stock removal. Keep sander
in motion while the sanding drum is engaged with
the surface or dwell marks will occur.
5. Move the machine in the direction of the grain in
the wood whenever possible. Sand the surface
at a constant pace.
6. Gradually feather-cut out at the termination point
(the end of your pass) by easing the sanding
drum up with the control lever. Stagger the
termination points for a better blend when
edging. See figure # 9.
7. When replacing abrasive, emptying contents of
dust bag, or when sanding operation is com -
pleted, press selector switch to off (O) position.
Disconnect the machine from the power supply.
8. Empty dust bag whenever it is 1/3 full. Never
leave a dust bag unattended with sanding dust in
it. Sanding dust can spontaneously ignite and
cause a fire or explosion. Empty dust into a
metal container clear of any combustible mate-
rial.
