Now that the machine is connected to the power source, it is important to perform a test run to make sure all the controls are working properly.
Before starting the sander, make sure you have performed the preceding assembly and adjustment instructions, and you have read through the rest of the manual and are familiar with the various functions and safety issues associated with this machine. Failure to follow this warning could result in serious personal injury or even death!
To test run the sander:
1.Put on safety glasses and make sure any bystanders are out of the way and also wear- ing safety glasses.
2.Flip the ON/OFF switch ON. Make sure that your finger is poised over the ON/OFF switch, just in case there is a problem.
