Your sander is equipped with a "lock-on" feature, which is convenient when continuous sanding for extended periods of time is required. To lock-on,depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button located on the side of the handle, then release switch trigger. Release lock-on button and your sander will continue running. To release the lock, depress switch trigger and release it.

If you have the "lock-on" feature engaged during use and your sander becomes disconnected from power supply, disengage the "lock-on" feature immediately.

VARIABLE SPEED

See figure 1.

Your sander has a variable speed control selector designed to allow operator control and adjustment of speed. The speed of your sander can be increased or decreased by rotating the variable speed control selector in the direction of the arrows shown in figure 1.

Note: Hold your sander in normal operating position and turn the variable speed control selector counterclockwise to increase speed. Turn clockwise to decrease speed.

If you desire to lock the switch on at a given speed, depress the switch trigger, push in and hold the lock-on button, and release the switch trigger. Next, adjust the variable speed control selector until the desired speed is reached.

Note: If the variable speed control selector is fully turned in the clockwise direction (zero setting) your sander may not run.

Note: If you desire not to use the variable speed control selector, turn it in the full counterclockwise direction. This will allow the speed of your sander to be controlled by the amount of switch trigger depression.

The following guidelines may be used in determining correct speed for various applications.

Low speed is ideal when using tool as a buffer or polisher.

High speed should be used for sanding.
