OPERATION

WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating your sander. Failure to do so
could result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.

Fig. 2

WARNING:

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating
sander. They could get caught in moving parts causing
serious injury. Keep head away from sander and sanding
area. Hair could be drawn into sander causing serious
injury.

2. Carefully peel adhesive backing from new sanding disc.

3. Align holes in sanding disc with holes in backing pad,

then carefully press sticky side of disc against pad as
tight as possible. 

NOTE:

 Holes in sanding disc must line

up with holes in the backing pad in order for the dustless
feature of your sander to function properly.

WARNING:

Your sander should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
installing or removing sandpaper, when cleaning, or
when not in use. Disconnecting your sander will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious injury.

LOCK-ON BUTTON

See Figure 2.

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, disen-
gage the "lock-on" feature immediately.

SANDING DISC SELECTION

Selecting the correct size grit and type sanding disc is an
extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded
finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic
abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives,
such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in
power sanding.

In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer
grit will produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The
condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which
grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse
grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may
then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and
finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue
sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.

TO ATTACH SANDING DISC

See Figure 3.

1. Unplug your sander.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
