Troubleshooting
Sander not starting
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Dust collection is ineffective
Empty and clean the Intec dust filter. Ensure the filter is correctly attached to the sander. Check for any blockages in the dust port.
