Features
The HT8 is a high performance 200mm (8") drum floor sander that will level and sand all types of wooden floors, including parquet to a fine score free finish,
suitable for finishing with today's modern waterborne lacquers and oils. The HT8 can also be used on a wide range of other surfaces including some types of decking, fiber board, cork and
composition floors.
A powerful four brush motor drives a dynamically balanced sanding drum which is covered in a unique drum rubber. Completely self contained with a high efficiency dust
pickup, the HT8 breaks down into three simple component parts for easy transport. The high impact ABS injection molded side guards and drum guard will not scar or scuff walls and protect the HT8
during transport.
The unique drum rubber resists abrasion and damaged caused by exposed nails while providing the feel and touch needed to sand a fine, score free finish. Easily
replaced in just 20 minutes the Hiretech drum rubber design minimizes downtime and service costs.
Hiretech's patented reversible clamp bar makes it easy for the user to fit abrasives, quickly and accurately. The clamp bar is a dropped forge design that will not
bend or distort over time ensuring that the abrasive paper is clamped securely in place at all times. The HT8's unique lifting fin assembly lifts the clamp bar clear of the drum making it a simple,
two handed job to remove and fit abrasives.
The HT8 motor is a high speed, universal continuous heavy duty, self cooling four brush design. It will not stall or slow down under load when sanding with coarse
grit abrasives, removing old surface finishes, deposits of wax or dirt. This high performance ensures a fast, consistent production rate making it easy for the user to get a regular and uniform
finish across the whole floor area and throughout the complete range of abrasive grits.
The design of the motor, as used in all Hiretech floor sanders, means the motor provides varying levels of power depending on load - ideal for floor sanding. The HT8
motor will deliver up to 4.5hp, depending on load, yet can be powered through any standard domestic supply without nuisance tripping or blowing fuses.
Simple maintenance routines keep the HT8 in service and ready for use, minimizing downtime. The multi-speed control provides the workshop technician with an easy to
understand sequence of lights that show run-time at 300hrs and 100hr intervals prompting motor and other timed service routines. After these routine service tasks have been completed the run-time
is easily reset.
