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.
