Product Information

Full details

The Loops 150mm Variable Speed Brushless Palm Sander is designed for both DIY enthusiasts and professional tradespeople seeking an efficient and comfortable sanding experience. Its key benefit lies in the powerful brushless motor that maintains constant speed under load, ensuring consistent results. A potential caveat is its specialized nature as a palm sander, which may not suit all large-scale finishing tasks without specific accessory use. This sander features a compact, ergonomic design, a brushless motor for durability and efficiency, constant speed control, 7-stage variable speed adjustment, and a digital display for precise control. It comes equipped with a dust-free Ø150mm backing pad, four sanding discs, and a dust extraction hose.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of a brushless motor in this sander?

A brushless motor offers increased efficiency, a longer lifespan, and maintains consistent power output under load, unlike brushed motors which can lose power during demanding tasks.

What size sanding discs does this sander use?

The sander features a Ø150mm backing pad, and uses corresponding Ø150mm sanding discs.

Can I use this sander for extended periods?

Yes, the sander is designed with an ergonomic and compact lightweight build (1.38kg) to reduce user fatigue during extended use.

What is included with the sander?

The sander is supplied with a dust-free Ø150mm backing pad, four sanding discs, and a dust extraction hose.

How is dust managed with this sander?

It comes with a dust-free Ø150mm backing pad and a dust extraction hose, designed to connect to a vacuum or dust collection system for a cleaner working environment.

What is the thread size for attaching accessories?

The thread size for accessory attachments on this sander is 5/16" UNF.

Troubleshooting

Sander does not start

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a functional 230V outlet. Ensure the on/off switch is properly engaged.

Reduced sanding power or speed fluctuations

Verify that the selected speed on the digital display is appropriate for the task. Check the dust extraction system for blockages, as this can sometimes affect motor performance. Ensure the sanding disc is not excessively worn or clogged.

Excessive vibration

Ensure the sanding disc is properly centered and securely attached to the backing pad. Check if the backing pad itself is damaged or worn. If vibration persists, contact customer support.

Dust extraction is ineffective

Confirm that the dust hose is properly connected to both the sander and the collection system. Check for any blockages within the hose, the sander's dust port, or the collection unit. Ensure the sanding disc is compatible with dust extraction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the sander is disconnected from the power source before attaching or detaching accessories.

  3. Connect the included dust extraction hose to the sander's dust port and to your vacuum system or dust collection bag.
  4. Plug the sander into a 230V power outlet.

Compatibility:

  • The thread size for accessory attachments is 5/16" UNF.
  • Compatible with standard dust extraction systems designed for power tools.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the sander from power. Wipe down the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using solvents.
  • Dust Port: Regularly clear any dust buildup from the dust port and ensure the dust extraction hose is free of blockages.
  • Backing Pad: Inspect the backing pad for wear and tear. Replace if damaged or if hook-and-loop adhesion is compromised.
  • Storage: Store the sander in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case, to prevent dust and damage.
