•  Slowly lower your sander onto the workpiece, then move the sander in slow forward & backward 

strokes. Do not force or push the tool down on the workpiece (the weight of the tool is sufficient 
pressure). This allows the motor and abrasive paper to operate at their most efficient speed. 
Excessive pressure causes the motor to slow down, preventing the abrasive from cutting effectively 
and causing the abrasive to prematurely wear out. When the motor is slowed by excessive 
pressure, the motor will quickly overheat and possibly cause motor damage in addition to 
producing an inferior workpiece surface.

•  Do not sand in one spot too long; the sander can easily remove too much material, producing an 

uneven surface. Use long sweeping strokes while sanding, gradually moving to progressively finer 
grit abrasive paper until the desired surface finish is achieved.

•. Your sander’s lightweight and comfortable palm grip make it ideal for doing work overhead and on 

vertical surfaces.

•  With 3-sided flush sanding capability you’re able to sand in corners, cabinet interiors, box interiors, 

etc. When you are ready to change paper or are finished with a job, lift the sander away from 
the work surface, press the switch into the "O" (OFF) position, then unplug the sander to prevent 
inadvertently starting prior to tool storage.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from 
various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove 
dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

 

WARNING: 

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. 
Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious 
personal injury.

Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject 
to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are 
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using 
this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these 
materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.

LUBRICATION

This tool is permanently lubricated at the factory and requires no additional lubrication.
