WORX WX654 - NOISE AND VIBRATION DATA - 1

WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ

from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the

following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:

The tool being in good condition and well maintained.

The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.

The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used.

And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.

Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).

If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.

Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10^ or less.

Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days.

ASSEMBLY THE ROTARY SANDER

1. REPLACING THE SANDING PLATE (See Fig A)

To replace the sanding plate, pull off the Sand paper. Loosen and remove the screw. Replace damaged sanding plates without delay.

2. REPLACING THE SAND PAPER

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

A) Selecting the sand paper

Depending on the material to be worked and the desired material removal, various Sand paper qualities are to be used:

  • Use coarse grits to sand down rough finishes medium grit to smooth the work and fine grit to finish off.

  • The higher the grade number, the finer the grit. For rough work, start with a low grade of grit. (e.g.60 grit) and change to a higher, finer grade (e.g.120 grit) for finishing.

B) Replacing the sand paper (See Fig B)

Lift the Sand paper at the side and pull it off the sanding plate. Clean the sanding plate, if required. Press the new Sand paper against the bottom of the sanding plate. To ensure optimum dust extraction, the holes of the Sand paper must match with those of the sanding plate.

OPERATION

1. SWITCHING ON/OFF (See Fig C)

Depress "I" on the sliding on-off switch to

start the machine.

Depress "0" on the sliding on-off switch to stop it.

2. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (See Fig D)

With the variable speed control dial (7), the required speed can be selected (also while running).

The required speed is dependent on the material and is to be determined by a practical trial.

After longer periods of working at low speed, allow the machine to cool down by running it for approx. 3 minutes at maximum speed with no load.

3. DUST BOX (See Fig E, F) A) Attach the dust box (See Fig E)

Your sander is equipped with a dust collection box. To attach, slide the dust box onto the outlet piece and take care that the dust box

locks in the grooves of the outlet.

CAUTION: To prevent the possibility of sanding dust or foreign body being thrown into your face or eyes, never attempt to use your sander without the dust box properly installed.

B) Empty dust box (See Fig F)

For more efficient operation, empty dust box every 5-10mins. This will permit the air to flow through the box better. To empty the dust box, pull off the dust box out of the dust extraction outlet directly and shake out dust.

4. USING THE DUST EXTRACTION ADAPTER (See Fig G)

Your sander is equipped with two dust extraction adapters, which are designed for connecting the hose of a vacuum cleaner. If the vacuum hose is 35mm Insert the 35mm dust adapter (a) directly into the rear dust outlet of sander. If the vacuum hose is 32mm insert the 32mm adapter (b) into the back of 35mm adapter (a).

NOTE: Please pull the dust adapter to make sure tightened securely on the dust outlet.

5. SANDING SURFACES

Place the machine with the complete Sand paper on the surface to be worked. Ensure uniform sanding pressure. Less sanding pressure increases the sanding capacity and protects the machine and the sanding tool. The removal capacity and the sanding pattern are determined mainly by the selection of the Sand paper (grain size), the speed of the sanding plate and the application pressure.

ROUGH SANDING

Attach a Sand paper with coarse grain. Apply only light sanding pressure to achieve increased material removal.

FINE SANDING

Attach a Sand paper with fine grain. With moderate pressure, move the machine in a circular pattern or alternately in lengthwise and crosswise directions over the work piece. Do not tilt the machine to avoid sanding through the work piece (e.g. when sanding veneer). After finishing the work, switch off the machine and lift it from the work piece.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR ROTARY SANDER

If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always use sand paper that is suitable for the material you want to sand.

Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.

Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.

Start your sander before sanding and turn it off only after you stop sanding. For the best results, sand wood in the direction of the grain.

Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.

Do not allow the sand paper to wear away it will damage the base-plate. The guarantee does not cover base-plate wear and tear.

Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the final surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap material.

Use only good quality sand paper.

The sand paper controls the sanding efficiency, not the amount of force you apply to the tool. Excessive force will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor overload.

Replacing the sand paper regularly will maintain optimum sanding efficiency.

MAINTAINANCE

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal. If the supply

cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
