4.When sanding drum is fully engaged with the surface, release control lever and adjust your pace for adequate stock removal. Keep sander in motion while the sanding drum is engaged with the surface or dwell marks will occur.

5.Move the machine in the direction of the grain in the wood whenever possible. Sand the surface at a constant pace.

6.Gradually feather-cut out at the termination point (the end of your pass) by easing the sanding drum up with the control lever. Stagger the termination points for a better blend when edging. See figure # 9.

7.When replacing abrasive, emptying contents of dust bag, or when sanding operation is com - pleted, press selector switch to off (O) position. Disconnect the machine from the power supply.

8.Empty dust bag whenever it is 1/3 full. Never leave a dust bag unattended with sanding dust in it. Sanding dust can spontaneously ignite and cause a fire or explosion. Empty dust into a metal container clear of any combustible mate- rial.
