FAQs
What type of extension pole should I use?
The Axus Reach Pole Sander is compatible with standard extension poles. Choose a pole that is sturdy, adjustable to your desired length, and appropriate for the height and reach needed for your project.
What grit of abrasive paper should I use?
The choice of abrasive paper grit depends on the surface and the task. For rough surfaces, start with a coarser grit (e.g., 80 or 100). For finishing, use a finer grit (e.g., 180 or 220).
How do I attach the abrasive paper?
Most abrasive papers are attached using a hook-and-loop system (Velcro) or by clamping. Ensure the paper is securely fastened to the sanding head before use.
Can I use this sander on wood?
Yes, the Axus Reach Pole Sander can be used on wood surfaces, such as floors and furniture, to prepare them for finishing.
How do I clean the sander?
After use, remove dust and debris with a brush or a damp cloth. Avoid getting water inside the mechanism. Store the sander in a dry place.
Is the sanding head replaceable?
Yes, the sanding head is designed to be replaceable if it becomes worn or damaged. Replacement heads can be purchased separately.
What is the warranty on the Axus Reach Pole Sander?
Please refer to the product packaging or your retailer for warranty information.
Troubleshooting
Sander head not rotating smoothly.
Check for any obstructions or debris. Clean the rotating mechanism and ensure it is properly lubricated if needed.
Abrasive paper is detaching.
Ensure the abrasive paper is correctly attached to the sanding head and that the fastening mechanism is secure. Use appropriate adhesive if needed.
Sanding unevenly.
Check the sanding head's backing pad for wear or damage. Ensure even pressure is applied during sanding. Adjust the abrasive paper grit to suit the surface.
Sander feels unstable or wobbly when attached to pole.
Check that the connection to the pole is secure and tight. If using an extension pole, ensure it is of good quality and suitable for the sander.
