before set up or use of this product.
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Workpiece selection:
a. Workpiece must be free of foreign objects.

have appropriate ventilation whenever
sanding pressure treated lumber.

Tool Changing
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM
ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Make sure that the Switch is in the off-position
and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet
before performing any procedure in this section.
1.
The 5″ Sanding Disc (sold separately) is attached
by Hook and Loop to the Backing Pad.
2. Place the desired Sanding Disc on the
Backing Pad, lining up the 8 holes so that
the dust can be collected into the Dust Box.
Press the Sanding Disc firmly in place.
Setting and Testing
1. Ensure the sanding paper is correctly attached
to the Sander and that its holes align with the
holes in the Backing Pad so the Dust Box will
collect debris during the sanding operation.
2. Switch the Power Switch to ON (I) and
run the tool for at least 30 seconds.
3. If abnormal noise/vibration occurs or the
sandpaper slips off, have the problem
corrected before further use.
General Instructions for Use
