STOP NOW! IMPORTANT! READ THIS:

Please note this machine has been designed to finish horizontal surfaces only.
This machine works on a counterweight moving from one side to the other in all directions.
When using this machine it is important that the surface you are about to finish is secure.

Please ensure the table/stand/boxes/trestles etc that support your work are level
and stable.

If your table/stands/boxes/trestles etc are not secure then this puts great strain on the
bearing. Failure to secure surfaces being finished will significantly reduce the life of your
main bearing.

BEFORE STARTING THE MACHINE BE SURE:

1. The surface to be finished is firmly secure.

2. The machine is in a central position so that the machine is not hanging over the

edge of the surface you are about to finish.

3. Vacuum is attached to vacuum port. As well as removing debris, the vacuum system
also assists in keeping the work surface cool.

4. Hold the handle of the machine firmly and switch the machine on.

5. Ensure power switch is off before removing machine from the work surface. Do not

lift the Surcare SMF-V4 off the work surface until the machine has come to a
complete standstill.

PLEASE NOTE:

This machine has moving parts that wear. Relative parts such as bearings, worn cords &
sockets should be checked and replaced as needed.

These checks should be done as a matter of safety as well as a matter of obtaining
maximum performance and long machine life.
It is recommended that a scheduled service be put in place (if not already) for the SMF-V4.

CENTRAL VAC READY

This machine has been designed for sanding and microfinishing and will give a
consistent surface finish.

The SMF-V4 may be used on almost any horizontal surface, providing the appropriate
abrasive discs are used for the particular surface to be sanded or microfinished. The
type of material being sanded and the finish required will determine which abrasive to
be used on the surface.

Be sure to have the appropriate abrasive discs attached and align pads in the correct
manner. Please discuss the abrasive requirements needed to sand and microfinish
that particular surface with your supplier.

If you have any other surface queries contact

SURCARE AUSTRALIA.

Be sure to check all sanding accessories are properly adhered to the surface they
were designed to adhere to. When releasing discs from velcro mounts be careful not
to pull on the velcro mounts as this will cause dust to enter between the foam pad and
the mounts and deteriorate contact.

The SMF-V4 has been designed with a very efficient dust extraction system. This dust
extraction system enables material that has been removed by the SMF-V4 from the
surface being worked to be collected safely and disposed of appropriately. The
vacuum system also assists in keeping the work surface cool.

Vacuum system attachment for dust extraction should preferably be 1000 watts or
more.
