FEATURES

Before using the random orbit sander, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. However, do not let familiarity with the tool make you careless.

Backing Pad

The Micro-Fiber™ hook and loop pad accepts standard hook and loop sanding discs. The supplied PSA pad accepts pressure sensitive adhesive sanding discs.

1-1/4 in. or 2-1/2 in. diameter vacuum hose to help keep the work area clean.
