Safety Instruction for All Operation

•

This power tool is intended to function as a sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this

power tool.

• Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

• Operations such as grinding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for

which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.

• NOTE List only those operations that were not included in the first warning. If all listed operations are recommended, then this warning may be

omitted but all subsequent warnings must be given without an exclusion.

• Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be

attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their

rated speed can break and fly apart.

• The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories

cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

• The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour

holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively, and may cause loss of control.

• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks,

tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage, or install an undamaged

accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run

the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.

• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust

mask, hearing protectors, gloves, and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be

capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by

your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of

workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its

own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.

• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged, and your hand or arm may be pulled into

the spinning accessory.

• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power

tool out of your control.

• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the

accessory into your body.

• Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal

may cause electrical hazards.

• Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

Other Safety Instructions for All Operations

Kickback and related warnings: Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or attaching a rotating wheel, a bearing pad, brush or any other

ac

cessory. Pinching or hanging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn forced the tool Power out of control in the opposite

direction of rotation of the accessory to the point of seizing.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into

the surface of the material, causing jumps or expulsion of the grinding wheel. The wheel can jump towards the operator or by moving away, as the

direction of movement of the grinding wheel at the point of pinch. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of

misuse of the tool and / or procedures or conditions incorrect operation and can be avoided by taking proper precautions specified below.

• Maintain firmly the power tool and position your body and arm for you allow to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, where

applicable, for maximum control of kickback or torque reaction during startup. The operator can control the reaction torques or forces rebound, if

precautions are taken.

• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory can perform a bounce on your hand.

• Do not place you in the area where power tool will move if kickback. The rebound pushes the tool in the opposite direction to movement of the

wheel in point hooking.

• Take special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid twists and snaps of the accessory. Corners, edges or sharp twists tend to hang

the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.

• Do not attach a saw chain, blade wood carving saw chain or toothed saw blade. Such blades cause frequent rebounds and control losses.

Additional Safety Instructions for Sanding Operations

•

Set specific security guard for sanding.

• Do not use sandpaper too oversized for sanding discs.

• Follow manufacturers' recommendations when selecting sanding paper. More abrasive paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a

laceration hazard and may cause a crash, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Wear Earmuffs

•

The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing.

• Overall oscillation value determined according to EN 60745.

• Vibration emission value ah, DS=1.171m/ s², Uncertainty K = 1,5 m/ s².

• The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with

another.

• The declared vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.

• WARNING: THAT THE VIBRATION EMISSION DURING ACTUAL USE OF THE POWER TOOL CAN DIFFER FROM THE DECLARED

TOTAL VALUE DEPENDING ON THE WAYS IN WHICH THE TOOL IS USED; AND OF THE NEED TO IDENTIFY SAFETY MEASURES TO

PROTECT THE OPERATOR THAT ARE BASED ON AN ESTIMATION OF EXPOSURE IN THE ACTUAL CONDITIONS OF USE (TAKING

ACCOUNT OF ALL PARTS OF THE OPERATING CYCLE SUCH AS THE TIMES WHEN THE TOOL IS SWITCHED OFF AND WHEN IT IS

RUNNING IDLE IN ADDITION TO THE TRIGGER TIME).

• WEAR HEARING PROTECTION.

Operation

Abrasive Disc Selection

The drywall sander is shipped with 6pcs of sanding paper (80/100/120/150/180/240 grit) abrasive disc installed.

This abrasive is suitable for most applications. Abrasive discs of 120 grit and 240 grit are available for situations

requiring a smoother finish.

Choosing the appropriate sandpaper:

Select the appropriate sandpaper according to the material and the grinding effect.

Material Usage Grit

Pigment Removal of pigment layer 40

Paint Removal of paint 60

Filling agent Grinding bottom pigment (such as finishing bottom) 80

Interstitial material Removal Brush paint, grinding residues 100

Pigment layer drips and convex Removal brushing mark, and residual paint 120

Flat bottom material Good, finished sanding for new painting 180-240

Replacing the sanding paper:

Before installing the new paper, you must first clear any dirt/debris that’s sticking onto the grinding wheel, such

as the use of the brush. If the grinding surface adhesive disc has a layer of lint, it can quickly and easily install

flocking self-adhesive sandpaper. The surface grinding sandpaper is pressed in the adhesive disc.

How to Hold a Drywall Sander

The Drywall Sander should be held with both hands on the main tube. The hands may be positioned anywhere

along the main tube to provide the best combination of reach and leverage for the particular application.

CAUTION: Keep hands on Main Tube. Do not place hands on the area around the sanding head. The

sanding head swivels in multiple directions and could pinch/injure hands.

Connecting to the Dust Bag

To protect the operator and to reduce dust suction and site cleaning process at work sites, please connect the

machine to the dust bag.

CAUTION: Failure to use a dust bag rated for drywall dust will increase the level of airborne dust

particles in the work area. Continued and prolonged exposure to high concentrations of airborne dust

may affect the respiratory system function.

Starting and Stopping

Make sure power circuit voltage is the same as shown on the specification plate on the Sander, and that the

Sander switch is OFF. Connect Sander to power circuit.

The Drywall Sander is equipped with a “rocker” type switch. The lop end of the switch button is labeled OFF, and

the bottom end of the button is labeled ON. To start the Sander: depress the bottom (ON) end of the switch

button. To stop the Sander, depress the top (OFF) end of the switch button.

Sanding Wheel Speed Regulation

•

The Drywall Sander is equipped with a variable speed control. The speed is adjusted by turning the control

knob. The control knob is numbered "MIN" through "MAX" with "MIN" being the slowest speed

(approximately 1000 RPM) and "MAX" being the fastest speed (approximately 1850RPM).

•

Use the higher speed settings for fast stock removal. Use the lower speed selling to reduce removal rate for

more precise control.

Extending the Pole

The length of the pole can be adjusted between 1100-1800mm according to the needs of different grinding

positions. Turn the locking nut anti-clockwise to loosen, the pipe is pulled to the right length, and then turn the

locking nut clockwise to lock.

Sanding Drywalls

The Drywall Sander has a unique articulating sanding head: the head can swivel in multiple directions, allowing

the abrasive pad to conform to the work surface. This enables the operator to sand the top, middle and bottom of

a wall or ceiling joint without changing: his position.

1. Turn vacuum cleaner switch ON.

CAUTION: Wear a respirator approved for dust and mist.

2. Turn Drywall Sander switch 0N.

3. Position Drywall Sander lightly against work surface (apply just enough pressure to align the sanding head

with the work surface).

4. Apply additional pressure to engage the abrasive pad to the work surface: while moving the Sander in an

overlapping pattern to smooth the drywall compound down to a ‘featheredge'.

Apply ONLY enough pressure to keep the abrasive pad flat against the work. Excessive pressure can cause

unacceptable swirl marks and unevenness on the work surface.

Keep the Sander in constant motion while abrasive pad is in contact with the work surface. Use a steady,

sweeping motion. Stopping the Sander (on the work surface) or moving the Sander erratically can cause

unacceptable swirl marks and unevenness in the work surface.

NOTE: Do not allow rotating abrasive pad to contact sharp protrusions. Contact with protruding objects

(nails, screws, electrical boxes, etc.) can severely damage the abrasive pad.

Abrasive Pad Replacement

CAUTION: DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER SOURCE FIRST.

1. Grasp the abrasive pad and the sander housing (clamping the pad to the housing), to prevent pad rotation.

2. Rotate the pad retaining nut, counterclockwise and remove.

3. Lift off the large metal washer, and the abrasive pad

NOTE: When the abrasive pad is lifted off the Sander, the abrasive back-up disc is exposed. Please

note that this back-up disc is also covered with an abrasive material.

LDS7 Long Reach Drywall Sander

This abrasive material is ONLY used to prevent "slippage" between the back-up disc and the foam-backed

abrasive pad, it is NOT suitable for use as a sanding abrasive. DO NOT USE THE SANDER WITHOUT A

PROPER ABRASIVE PAD INSTALLED (to prevent severe damage to the work).

4. Position new abrasive pad to the back-up disc, making sure that the center hole in the abrasive disc is

centered on the hub of the back-up disc.

5. Position the large metal washer, the retaining nut to the Sander.

6. Rotate the retaining nut clockwise to hand tighten (while holding the abrasive pad).

The output shaft is inserted into the adhesive disc center with six angle wrench clockwise rotation angle in the

six-hex hole, and at the same time, the hands hold the adhesive disc grinding, grinding disc can be remove with

an adhesive.

Brush-Type Skirt

A brush-type skirt surrounds the abrasive pad. This skirt serves two purposes: (1) The skirt extends below the

surface of the abrasive pad so that it contacts the work surface first. This positions the sanding head parallel to

the work surface before the abrasive contacts the work, preventing the abrasive from "gouging" the work. (2)

The skirt also helps contain the drywall dust until the vacuum cleaner pulls it away.

CAUTION: DISCONNECT SANDER FROM POWER CIRCUIT FIRST.

To replace skirt:

1. Remove abrasive pad (see Abrasive Pad Replacement).

2. Use Phillips screwdriver to remove the six retaining screws.

3. Lift the skirt out of housing.

4. Position new skirt to housing and install the six retaining screws.

5. Replace the abrasive pad.
