OPERATION

NOTE: To release the lock, depress the switch trigger.

If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and the

sander is accidentally disconnected from the power supply,

disengage the lock-on feature immediately. Also, do not

lock the switch trigger if you might need to suddenly stop

the sander.

OPERATING THE SANDER

See Figure 9, page 14.

To operate the sander:

 Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving during

operation.

WARNING:

Unsecured workpieces could be thrown towards

the operator causing injury.

WARNING:

Keep your head away from the sander and the

sanding area. Your hair could be drawn into the

sander, causing serious injury.

 Place the sander on the workpiece so that all of the sand-

ing disc surface is in contact with the workpiece.

CAUTION:

To avoid motor damage resulting from overheating,

do not cover the air vents with your hand.

 Turn on the sander and move it slowly over the workpiece.

Make successive passes in parallel lines, circles, or cross-

wise movements.

 Turn off the sander and wait until the sanding disc

comes to a complete stop before removing it from the

workpiece.

Do not force. The weight of the unit supplies adequate

pressure to do the work. Applying additional pressure only

slows the motor, rapidly wears the sanding sheet, and greatly

reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload the

motor causing possible damage from overheating and can

result in inferior work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften

from the frictional heat. Do not sand on one spot too long

as the sander’s rapid action may remove too much material,

making the surface uneven.

Extended periods of sanding may overheat the motor. If this

occurs, turn the sander off and wait until the sanding sheet

comes to a complete stop. Remove sander from workpiece.

Remove sanding disc, then turn sander on, and run it free

without a load to cool the motor.

EMPTYING THE DUST BAG

See Figure 10, page 14.

For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no

more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through the

bag better. Always empty and clean the dust bag thoroughly

upon completion of a sanding operation and before placing

the sander in storage.

WARNING:

Collected sanding dust from sanding surface

coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can

self-ignite in the sander dust bag or elsewhere and

cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire, always empty

the dust bag frequently while sanding and never

store or leave a sander without totally emptying its

dust bag. Also follow the recommendations of the

coatings manufacturers.

To empty the dust bag:

 Unplug the sander.

 Remove the dust bag from the sander.

 Shake out the dust.

 Reattach the dust bag to the sander.

For a more thorough cleaning of the dust bag, remove dust

bag from frame and shake out dust. Replace dust bag over

frame then install dust bag assembly on sander.
