| Problem | Możliwa przyczyna | Rozwiązanie |
|---|---|---|
| Sander head flips or gouges surface. | Excessive pressure; incorrect angle; sandpaper not taut. | Apply lighter, more even pressure. Ensure sandpaper is stretched taut and clips are secure. The no-flip design minimizes this issue, but technique is still important. |
| Sandpaper slips or comes loose. | Clips not fully engaged; worn clips; sandpaper too small. | Ensure quick-release clips are fully closed and gripping the sandpaper. Inspect clips for wear and replace if necessary. Use appropriately sized sandpaper. |
| Pole does not attach securely or spins. | Locking screw not tightened; incompatible pole thread. | Tighten the locking collar set screw. Ensure your pole has a standard coarse "Acme" thread. Some poles may have slightly different thread tolerances; test compatibility before extensive use. Compatible poles include Wooster Sherlock GT, Mr Longarm, Purdy Powerlock, and most standard wood or metal-capped broom handles. Incompatible poles may include certain HD or HFT branded poles with very squared Acme threads. |
