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 INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual
IMPORTANT
Servicing of a toot with double insulation requires
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For service we suggest you return the tool to your nearest Sears Store for repair. Always use original factory replacement parts when servicing.

The backing pad on your sander provides the capability to use sanding discs with pressure sensitive adhesive backing material. You also receive a conversion pad which allows use of sanding discs with velcro type backing material.
SANDING DISC SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sanding disc is an extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded wilt determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.
