OPERATION
ORBITAL MOTION
Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when remov- ing old finishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to required dimensions, or for finishing surfaces to be painted.
As shown in figure 6, the sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a very high speed, allowing the sander to move easily.
REMOVING PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE (PSA) SANDPAPER BEFORE STORAGE
Do not store the sander with the sandpaper installed. Heat generated from sanding causes the pressure sensitive
adhesive to flow and form a tight bond between the backing pad and sandpaper.
Removing the sandpaper soon after you have finished a sanding operation avoids letting the adhesive set up. If the sandpaper is left on the backing pad for an extended period of time after use, the adhesive will set up and cause the sandpaper to become difficult to remove.
It may also tear when removing. When this situation occurs, it becomes difficult to clean the backing pad for the next sheet of sandpaper.
NOTE: If you forget to remove the sandpaper after a sand- ing operation, sand for a few minutes to soften the adhesive backing before attempting to remove sandpaper.
USING THE DUST BAG
The dust bag provides a dust collection system for the sander. Dust is drawn up through holes in the sandpaper and cushion and collected in the dust bag during sanding.
attaching THE DUST BAG assembly
See Figure 7.
Unplug the sander.
Slide the dust bag assembly onto the blower exhaust on the sander using a slight twisting motion.
cleaning THE DUST BAg
See Figures 7 - 8.
For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through the bag better.
To empty the dust bag:
Unplug the sander.
Remove the dust bag assembly from the sander and shake out dust.
For a more thorough cleaning of the dust bag, remove dust bag from the frame and shake out dust.
Replace the dust bag over the frame, then reinstall on the sander.
