VARIABLE SPEED
Model 352VS has a Variable Speed Control. The operating speed is adjustable between 850 SFM (surface feet per minute) and 1300 SFM.
The speed is adjusted by turning the thumbwheel, (C) Fig. 2. The first position provides the slowest operating speed (850 SFM) while position 6 is the fastest (1300 SFM). The speed can be changed either when the motor is running or is stopped.
TRACKING THE ABRASIVE BELT
To prevent excessive wear on both the sander and belt, NEVER allow the abrasive belt to rub on the sander frame. To make sure that the belt is tracking correctly, do the following:
Make sure that the trigger switch is “OFF” before con- necting the tool to the power source.
1.Turn the tool over. Hold the rear handle with the left hand so that the ring finger and the little finger rest on trigger (Fig. 3).
2.Squeeze the trigger to start the motor.
3.Turn the belt aligning screw (A) in either direction until the edge of the belt is even with the outer edge of the rear rubber- covered pulley. The edge of the belt will extend beyond the edge of the front pulley.
4.Release the trigger to stop the motor. Allow the tool to come to a COMPLETE STOP before turning it over and putting it down.

ATTACHING AND CARE OF DUST BAG
Depress the spring clips (A) Fig. 4 of the dust bag (B) and clip the dust bag over the rib of the dust spout
(C).
For the most efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is approximately half full. Pull the dust bag straight out of the vacuum housing, unzip the rear of the bag, and shake out the dust. Every so often, turn the bag inside out and brush the accumulated dust from the inside.
