FEATURES

KNOW YOUR RANDOM ORBIT SANDER

See Figure 1.

Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety rules.

ADJUSTABLE FRONT HANDLE

For ease of operation, the front handle can be adjusted using the supplied hex key.

BACKING PAD

The hook and loop backing pad allows you to quickly and easily attach sanding discs.

CORD WRAP

The 12-foot power cord has a built-in cord wrap.

DUAL RANDOM ORBIT SELECTOR

The random orbit motion provides overlapping sanding movements by combining orbital and turning motion. These overlapping sanding movements provide fast cutting action with excellent sanding results.

DUST BAG

The dust bag attaches to the sander and keeps dust to a minimum.

ERGONOMIC DESIGN

Your random orbit sander is designed for comfort and ease of operation in different positions and at different angles.

INTEGRATED BRAKE PAD

The integrated brake pad prevents pad “overspin.” This feature helps eliminate sanding scratches when you apply the sander to, or remove it from, a work surface.

LIGHTED PLUG

The lighted plug helps to easily identify live tools.

LOCK-ON BUTTON

The lock-on feature allows you to lock the switch trigger in the ON position. Locking the switch trigger on allows you to operate the sander for extended periods of time.

SOFT START

When a speed is selected with the variable speed dial and the sander is stopped and then reactivated, the sander will gradually ramp up to the previous speed setting once the switch trigger is pressed again.

VACUUM ADAPTOR

The vacuum adaptor allows you to connect to a 1-1/4 in. or 2-1/2 in. diameter vacuum hose to help keep the work area clean.

VARIABLE SPEED DIAL

The variable speed feature allows the sander to develop a no load speed that can be adjusted from 4,000 to 10,000 orbits per minute by rotating the dial from A (slowest) to F (fastest).
