Holding and guiding the tool 1. Always clamp the work piece. 2. Do not overload the tool so that the disc slows down. Let the tool do the work rather than applying pressure. The weight of the tool alone provides sufficient pressure. 3. Cutting discs become very hot when in use. Take care not to touch them until they have cooled down. 4. Hold the tool securely and make sure that you have full control at all times. 5. During a cutting operation, maintain an angle of 30 to 40 degrees between the tool and the work piece. 6. During grinding, maintain an angle of 15 to 30 degrees between the tool and the work piece. 10 Operation in sander mode Fitting the Sandpaper Switch off the tool and disconnect it from the power supply. 1. The GMC grinder/sander/polisher is fitted with a hook & loop base allowing easy changing of accessories. Ensure there are no debris left in the hooks & loops of the disc before fitting accessories. 2. Align the sandpaper with the rubber disc and press down firmly to ensure a good grip. 3. Special care must be taken with Hook & Loop platens, as a build up of dust, or wearing the sandpaper down completely before changing it, can result in damage to the hooks & loops on the platen and require a new platen to be fitted. Note: Hook & Loop platens are not a warranty item. Selecting the right grade of sandpaper 1. Different grades of sandpaper can be purchased from your local hardware store. 2. Typical grades are coarse (40–60 grit), medium (80–100 grit), and fine (120–240 grit). 3. Use coarse grade to remove rough finishes, medium grade to smooth the work, and fine grade to finish it off. 4. It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the optimum grades of sandpaper for a particular job. Switching on and off 1. To start the tool, first ensure the rubber disc, sanding disc and tool are in good condition. Plug the cordset into the mains socket. 2. To start the tool, depress the lock-off button (8) and squeeze the on/off trigger switch (7). Note. Once the tool has started there is no need to maintain pressure on the lock-off button. 3. Do not overload the tool so that the disc slows down. Let the tool do the work rather than applying pressure. The weight of the tool alone provides sufficient pressure. 4. After completing the application, turn the sander off. To turn the tool off let go of the on/off trigger switch (7). The lock-off button (8) will re-engage. The tool will stop. (Please note that the disc continues to spin for a few seconds even though the switch is turned off). Keep hands well away from the moving disc. Wait until the disc stops rotating before lifting the grinder/sander/polisher from the surface. Holding and guiding the tool 1. Always clamp the work piece where applicable. 2. Before starting the tool, first ensure the rubber disc, sanding disc and the tool are in good condition. Plug the cordset into the mains socket. 3. Do not overload the tool so that the disc slows down. Let the tool do the work rather than applying pressure. The weight of the tool alone provides sufficient pressure. 4. Hold the tool securely and make sure that you have full control at all times. 5. During the sanding operation, maintain an angle of 10–15 degrees between the tool and the work piece. 11 Operation in polisher mode Prepare the surface For best results, the surface should be clean and dry. Most high-gloss surfaces can be cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. For removal of stubborn dirt stains such as road tar, grease, and bug stains, you can use a mild ammonia solution such as that used in glass cleaners. Before using any cleaning product, check the label for recommended applications and follow the directions for use. Never apply cleaner directly onto surface to be polished. Apply to a clean cloth and then use the cloth to clean the surface. Do not use any type of abrasive cleanser as it may damage or scratch the surface. Fitting the bonnets 1. Your GMC grinder/sander/polisher comes with a polishing bonnet. The polishing bonnet is used for buffing and finishing the surface. 2. To fit the polishing sponge, press and hold the spindle lock button (2) and screw the polishing sponge onto the spindle. 3. The polishing bonnet features a drawstring attachment to fit the bonnet over the polishing sponge. 4. Place the bonnet over the polishing sponge so that the outer edge can be drawn over the top of the disc. 5. Carefully tighten the drawstring around the polishing sponge and secure it with a simple overhand knot. 6. Tuck the drawstring into the bonnet. 7. Remove the bonnet by loosening the drawstring and slipping the bonnet off the polishing sponge. Applying polish Most polishes are either in paste or liquid form. Before using any polish read all directions on appropriate applications and proper use. Switching on and off 1. To start the tool, first ensure the disc and tool are in good condition. Plug the cordset into the mains socket. 2. To start the tool, depress the ...
