VARIABLE SPEED

See Figure 2.

The sander has a variable speed control dial, A (slowest)

to F (fastest), designed to allow operator control of belt

speed. To increase belt speed, turn the variable speed control

dial to a higher setting. Turn to a lower setting to decrease

belt speed. Refer to the chart on page 10 for proper speed

selections.

PROPER HAND PLACEMENT

See Figure 3.

For ease of operation the sander has an adjustable front

handle and a stationary rear handle. These handles allow

two-handed operation which aids in maintaining control,

keeping sander level with workpiece, and keeping hands

clear of sanding belt. When operating the sander always

hold the front handle with the left hand and the rear handle

with the right hand as shown.

WARNING:

Keep hands and fingers clear of moving sanding

belt, front pulley, and drive roller assembly. Failure

to do so will result in the sanding of the hands or

fingers possibly causing serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not let your fingers rest over the front or right

edge of the sander. If the sanding belt were to run

off, or if it were not properly adjusted, your fingers

could come in contact with the moving sanding

belt resulting in possible serious injury.

TURNING ON/OFF THE SANDER

See Figure 4.

n To turn on the sander: Depress the switch trigger.

n To turn off the sander: Release the switch trigger.

SOFT START FEATURE

Soft start is a feature whereby the motor gradually ramps

up to the selected top speed. For example, when a speed

is selected with the speed limiting dial and the sander is

stopped and then activated again, the sander will gradually

ramp up to the previous speed setting once the switch trig-

ger is pressed again.
