Frequently Asked Questions - 57681 Draper
How do I change the sanding sheet on the Draper 57681 sander?
The sanding sheet is attached via hook and loop (Velcro). Simply peel off the old sheet and press on a new one of the same size (125 mm round). Ensure the holes align with the dust extraction holes.
Can I use the sander with a vacuum cleaner for dust extraction?
Yes, the sander has a dust port that can be connected to a vacuum hose (typically 35 mm diameter). Remove the dust bag and attach the vacuum adapter if available.
What grit sandpaper should I use for removing paint?
For heavy paint removal, start with a coarse grit like 40 or 60. For finer finishing, progress to 120 or 240 grit. Always test on a small area first.
Why does my sander vibrate excessively?
Excessive vibration may indicate a worn sanding sheet, unbalanced paper, or debris inside the base. Check the sandpaper is properly attached and clean the base. If problem persists, inspect the bearing.
How do I clean the dust bag?
Empty the dust bag after each use. For deeper cleaning, wash the bag with mild soap and water, then let it dry completely before reattaching. Do not use harsh chemicals.
What is the correct speed for sanding wood?
The Draper 57681 has a fixed speed of 12,000 rpm. This is suitable for most wood sanding tasks. For softer woods, use finer grit to avoid gouging.
Can I use the sander for wet sanding?
No, this sander is designed for dry sanding only. Wet sanding can damage the electrical components and void the warranty.
How do I replace the carbon brushes?
Unplug the sander. Remove the brush caps on the sides (usually screwdriver required). Take out the old brushes and insert new ones (same size). Reinstall caps. Run the sander for a few minutes to seat brushes.
What does the lock-on button do?
The lock-on button allows continuous operation without holding the trigger. Press the trigger, then push the lock-on button; release trigger. To stop, press trigger again.
Is this sander suitable for drywall sanding?
Yes, it can be used for drywall sanding but will produce fine dust. Use a vacuum extraction and wear a dust mask. Keep the sander moving to avoid gouging.
