USING DISC SANDER
1.CAUTION: Secure work to prevent it from moving during the sanding operation. Friction between the sanding disc and work will try to spin work away from sander and may cause bodily injury.
2.CAUTION: Wear safety glasses and dust mask.
3.Hold sander firmly by the rear and auxiliary handles, making sure sanding disc is clear of work and foreign objects. Start sander and lower at an angle so that approximately 1" to 11/4" of the sanding disc contacts the work (see Fig. 7). Too great an angle may result in gouging or snagging the work, while too small an angle results in extreme difficulties in controlling the sander.

4.Move sander in long sweeping overlapping strokes as you go back and forth. Do not move sander in a circular motion or stay in one spot too long as this will produce swirls and an uneven finish. The weight of the sander applies sufficient pressure for fast stock removal. Additional pressure will only slow the sander down and decrease removal of stock.
5.Lift sander from work before turning off motor.
6.Always be sure motor has stopped before setting sander down.
7.For rough sanding and quick stock removal, use a coarse grit sanding disc. For a fine finish, use a medium grit disc, followed by a fine grit disc. Do not go directly from a coarse grit to a fine grit, as it is difficult to remove marks left by the coarse grit disc.
