ADJUSTING THE ORBIT DIAMETER
See Figure 3.
To adjust the orbit diameter:

nPress and hold the locking button.
nTurn the backing pad counterclockwise until the button locks into position.
nTurn the backing pad an additional 180º until you can feel the backing pad lock into position.

NOTE: To determine the orbit of the sander, rotate the backing pad counterclockwise with your hand and look down on the sander from directly above the motor housing. If you can see the red backing pad top, the orbit is 1/4 in. If you cannot see the red backing pad top, the orbit is 1/8 in.
