MAINTENANCE

Your sander will operate over a long period of time with a minimum of

maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper care.

Regularly clean the ventilation slots using a soft dry brush or dry cloth. Do not

use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.

A damaged power cable should be replaced by your CLARKE dealer or

qualified electrician.

The bearings in this sander are sealed for life and require no maintenance.

FAULTFINDING

SANDER IS OVERHEATING

This indicates the machine is dirty. Clean the ventilation holes and blow out

with compressed air. Always wear eye prodection when using compressed air.

Overloading the machine will also cause overheating. Do not use for heavy

duty work and do not apply excessive pressure.

EXCESSIVE SPARKING OCCURS

This indicates worn brushes. This problem is quickly remedied but you should

consult your CLARKE dealer for parts and advice.

SANDER DOES NOT OPERATE WHEN SWITCHED ON

Check to ensure the fuse is sound and replace if necessary. If the fuse is sound

or blows repeatedly, consult your CLARKE dealer.

POOR ABRASION

If the sander is not removing material efficiently, check the sanding sheet. If

the abrasive is worn down replace the sheet. The sanding sheet must always

be stored in a dry place as if it allowed to become damp, the abrasive

particles will detach from the sheet and will not abrade.

WARNING: BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE, SWITCH OFF AND

UNPLUG THE SANDER.
