FEATURES

KNOW YOUR SANDER

See Figure 1.

Before attempting to use your sander, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements.

WARNING:

If any parts are missing do not operate your sander until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious injury.

SWITCH

This tool is equipped with a simple switch control. To turn your sander ON, depress the switch button as shown in Figure 1. Depress the switch button in the opposite direction to turn your sander OFF.

Your sander has a comfortable palm grip that provides easy handling and positive control and is suitable for sanding with coarse, medium, and fine grit sanding disc.

RANDOM ORBIT

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.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

Your sander has a precision built electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with your sander to make you careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

CONVERSION PAD

Converts the standard sanding pad from use with pressure sensitive sanding discs for use with velcro type sanding discs.

FORESIGHT IS BETTER

THAN NO SIGHT

The operation of any sander can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields.
