OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
SWITCH
To turn the tool ON, hold it as shown in Fig. 1
and push the portion of the switch marked"I"
for low speed and the portion marked “II” for
high speed. The center position marked "O" is
OFF.
NOTE: Always return the switch to the "OFF"
position before changing operating speed.
Use the high speed for fast material removal
and the low speed for a finer finish.
OPERATION
Grasp the sander as shown and turn it ON.
Move it in long, sweeping strokes along the
surface, letting it do the work. Pushing down
on the tool while sanding actually slows the
removal rate and produces an inferior quality
finish.
Check your work often. This sander is capa-
ble of removing material rapidly.
DUST COLLECTION
WARNING:
Collected sanding dust
from sanding surface coatings
(polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-
ignite in sander dust bag or elsewhere and
cause fire. To reduce risk, empty bag fre-
quently and strictly follow sander manual
and coating manufacturer's instructions.
Your sander comes equipped with a cloth
canister to collect the dust generated while
sanding. To attached the canister to the
sander, fit it firmly onto the dust extraction
port at the back of the sander.
To empty the canister, remove it from the dust
port and dump the sanding debris into an
appropriate trash receptacle.
You may, if you prefer, attach a vacuum
cleaner to the tool to collect the dust as you
sand. Simply remove the dust bag and install
the vacuum hose over or into the dust extrac-
tion port. Shop vacuums come with two diam-
eters of hoses and the dust extraction port is
designed to accept both of them.
Ensure that the vacuum cleaner can be
placed such that it will not tip over or interfere
with the motion of the sander. If this cannot
be done, do not use the vacuum cleaner.
Turn on the vacuum cleaner before beginning
to sand and turn it off after turning off the
sander. Empty vacuum cleaner as required.
