DUST COLLECTION BOX

The dust collection box attaches to the sander and keeps dust to a minimum. WARNING A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while sanding lead paint, some woods and metal to avoid breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air. VARIABLE SPEED (MODEL - ESS280RV) Your sander has advanced electronic features, designed to assist you in getting the maximum use from your sander. By making proper speed selections, your tool can be adjusted to speciÀc sanding needs. The electronic feature of your tool introduces the Åexibility of adjusting the motor speed to required job conditions. An electronic speed control module senses the load applied to the motor and increases or decreases motor voltage to compensate for and maintain desired RPM. Speed can be set according to the sanding purpose or the surface of the workpiece you will be using. Select clockwise to increase speed for rough surfaces or for quick removal of stock and anti-clockwise to decrease speed for the smaller, delicate sanding applications.

English ASSEMBLY WARNING Exercise caution when using this tool. Careless actions, for even a fraction of a second, can result in serious personal injury. WARNING The tool should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury. APPLICATIONS You may use the sander for the purposes listed below: È sanding on wood surfaces È removing rust from and sanding steel surfaces È polishing and scrubbing porcelain and metal SANDPAPER SELECTION Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is an extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded Ànish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as Åint and garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding. In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and Àner grit will produce the best Ànish in all sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and Àner grit used for Ànishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until surface is uniform. CAUTION Keep the cord away from the sanding pad and position the cord so that it will not be caught on lumber, tools, or other objects during sanding. WARNING Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating this tool. Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, or loose particles being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury. OPERATION WARNING Do not use sander without sandpaper, doing so will damage the cushion. INSTALLING SANDPAPER Inspect sandpaper before installing. Do not use if broken or defective. Sheet/pad recommended use 80-grit sanding sheet Coarse sanding 120-grit sanding sheet Light sanding 150-grit sanding sheet Light sanding Hook and loop sandpaper See Figure 5.

1. Unplug the sander.

2. Align holes in hook and loop type sanding disc with

holes in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding disc against pad as tightly as possible. NOTE: It is recommended that you keep the sanding disc backing pad clean to provide for best adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with a small brush.

ATTACHING THE DUST COLLECTION BOX

See Figure 2. The dust collection box provides a dust collection system for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc and collected in the dust collection box during sanding.

1. Unplug the sander.

2. Using a slight twisting motion, Àrmly slide the dust

collection box assembly in the blower exhaust on the sander. WARNING Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. Non-adhesive sandpaper See Figure 6.

motor. If this occurs, turn sander off and wait until sanding disc comes to a complete stop, then remove it from workpiece. Remove your hand from vent area, remove sanding disc, then with your hand removed from vent area, turn sander on and run it free without a load to cool motor. Turn on the sander: Slide the switch to “|”.

Turn off the sander: Slide the switch to “O”.

EMPTYING THE DUST COLLECTION BOX

See Figure 4. For more efÀcient operation, empty the dust collection box when it is no more than half full. Always empty and clean the dust collection box thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation and before placing the sander in storage.

OPERATING THE SANDER

1. Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving under

the sander. WARNING WARNING Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite in your sander dust collection box or elsewhere and cause Àre. To reduce the risk of Àre always empty your dust collection box frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and never store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust collection box. Also follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers. Unsecured workpieces could be thrown towards the operator, causing injury. WARNING Keep your head away from the sander and the sanding area. Your hair could be drawn into the sander causing serious injury.

1. Unplug the sander.

2. Place the sander on the workpiece so that all of the

sanding disc surface is in contact with the workpiece. WARNING Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. CAUTION Avoid damaging the motor from overheating; be careful not to let your hand cover the air vents.

2. Remove the dust collection box from the sander.

3. Shake out the dust.

4. Reattach the dust collection box to the sander.

NOTE: For a more thorough cleaning of the dust collection box, remove dust collection box from frame and shake out dust. Replace dust collection box over frame then install dust collection box assembly on sander.

3. Turn on the sander and move it slowly over the

workpiece. NOTE: Hold the sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear of the workpiece. Start sander and let the motor build to its maximum speed, then gradually lower the sander onto the workpiece. Move the sander slowly across the workpiece using small circular motions. ORBITAL MOTION Do not force. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure, so let the sanding disc and sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears sanding disc and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing possible damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior work. Any Ànish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional heat. See Figure 7. Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when removing old Ànishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to required dimensions or for Ànishing surfaces to be painted. The sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a very high speed, allowing the sander to move easily.

LIVE TOOL INDICATOR

Do not allow sanding on one spot too long as the sander’s rapid action may remove too much material, making the surface uneven. This tool features a live tool indicator which illuminates as soon as the tool is connected to the supply. This warns the user that the tool is connected and will operate when the Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the

English switch is pressed.

CLEANING THE SCRUBBING PADS

To ensure longer life and optimum performance, periodically clean all sanding residue and foreign materials from the scrubbing pads. This can be done simply by rinsing the pad with warm water until all foreign material has been washed away. After cleaning, gently squeeze the pad to remove excess water and allow pad to dry. Always store pads and sanding sheets Åat in a cool dry location. MAINTENANCE WARNING The tool should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury.

CLEANING THE SANDING SHEETS

The sanding sheets that came with your sander are made to be re-used. Therefore, it is important that they be cleaned periodically to remove sanding residue and foreign material that can accumulate over time. To clean sanding sheets, rub the sheets with a hard rubber block. You can also use the clean rubber sole of a shoe. WARNING When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. WARNING GENERAL Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc. Always remove scrubbing or sanding pad from sander before cleaning. Failure to do so could cause serious personal injury. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION WARNING Do not at any time let brake Åuids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic. Recycle raw materials instead of disposing of as waste. The machine, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling. Electric tools used on Àberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the Àberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.. Consequently, we do not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air. SYMBOL Safety Alert
