SWITCHING ON AND OFF

• Switch on the oscillating sander by
pressing in the power switch (1).

continuous operation
• For continuous operation, press the power
switch (1) at the same time as you press
the lock button (2) and then release the
power switch.
• Pressing and releasing the power switch
(1) stops the sander.
HOW TO USE
• Hold the sander firmly in both hands.
Press it lightly against the surface to be
sanded.
NOTE:
It can pull away on first contact with the
workpiece.
• It is recommended to work with a circular
action. Check the sandpaper at regular
intervals and replace if damaged. It is
recommended to work with different
grades of sandpaper if you need to sand a
large irregularity on the workpiece. Grade
60 is recommended for coarse sanding,
grade 80 for intermediate and light
sanding, and grade 120 for fine sanding.
• Fine adjustments The sandpaper pad
moves in small, circular rotations when
sanding. This ensures that the sandpaper
sands in all directions. Because of the
circular action it does not matter how you
hold the sander, or in which direction you
move it. You seldom need to apply
pressure to the tool.
• The basic principle when sanding is to use
the right sandpaper to smooth the surface
irregularities. Using a sandpaper that is
too coarse will not smooth the surface, on
the contrary – it will become rougher. A
sandpaper that is too fine will not remove
irregularities, or will do so too slowly.
• Coarse sandpaper is needed to sand some
materials at first, whereas medium grade
sandpaper is needed for more sensitive
surfaces. If in doubt always start with finer
sandpaper. If this does not work, use
coarser sandpaper and then switch to fine
grade sandpaper again. Be careful when
using coarse sandpaper to avoid sanding
through the edges and veneer.
• An old and well known trick to produce a
fine surface is "grain enlargement".
Moisten the already sanded surface with a
damp cloth or sponge and allow it to dry.
Water causes some wood fibres to swell
more than others, which results in their
surface being thicker that the others.
Sand it with fine paper to remove nippled
parts. The result is a fine, smooth surface.
This method should not be used, however,
on veneer surfaces where water must not
penetrate the veneer.
• Decoration before removing paint or
lacquer from doors, window frames, etc.
First check if the existing surface
treatment is in good condition, or not. It
can be considered to be in poor condition
if there are cracks and flakes on the
surface that can easily be removed with a
wire brush or spatula. If the old layer is
solid there is no reason to remove it. You
can lightly sand it to remove all
imperfections. By doing this you prepare
the surface for a new coat. Start by using
