APPLICATIONS
You may use the sander for the purposes listed below:
Sanding on wood surfaces.
Removing rust from and sanding steel surfaces.
Polishing and scrubbing porcelain and metal.

ASSEMBLY
ATTACHING HOOK AND LOOP SANDING PAPER (Fig. 1)
1. Unplug the sander.
2. Align holes in hook and loop type sanding sheet with holes
in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding sheet
against pad as tightly as possible.
Note:
Hook and loop type sanding sheet can be reused
for the life of the sanding abrasive. It is recommended
that you keep the sanding pad clean to provide best
adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with a
small brush.
The sander should never be connected to a power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance or when the tool is not
in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting
that could cause serious injury.
Exercise caution when using this tool. Careless actions,
for even a fraction of a second, can result in serious
personal injury.
OPERATION
Keep the cord away from the sanding pad and position the
cord so that it will not be caught on timber, tools or other
objects during sanding.
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating this tool. Failure to do so could result
in dust, shavings or loose particles being thrown into your
eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
