USING THE SANDER
Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving. Friction
between the sanding disc and the workpiece can spin
the workpiece away from sander and may cause bodily
injury.
Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses and dust mask.
1. Place the sander on the
workpiece (Fig. 6) with the
abrasive disc resting flat on the
workpiece.
NOTE: The random orbiting
mechanism allows you to start or
stop the sander in or out of contact
with the workpiece.
2. Grasp the sander firmly and
move switch to the “ON”
position.
3. Keep the sanding disc flat on the workpiece and move the sander in
long, overlapping strokes. Tipping the sander or stopping in one spot
can produce an uneven finish.
4. When finished, stop the sander and allow the pad rotation to stop
completely before putting the sander down.
NOTES:
A. If necessary, rotate the pad by hand to expose the spindle flats.
B. The pad is removed in Fig. 7 for clarity.
C. A spacer is supplied with the 7336SP and 7424 to allow the backup
pad to clear the eccentric plate screws (C) Fig. 7. Mount the spacer
on the shaft before attaching the backup pad.
2. While holding the spindle with the wrench, use your other hand to rotate
the pad counterclockwise to remove.
3. To install the pad, reverse the above procedure.
