OPERATION
ORBITAL MOTION (Fig. 2)
Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when removing
old finishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to
required dimensions or for finishing surfaces to be painted.
The sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a very high speed,
allowing the sander to move easily.
WARNING
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface
coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil etc.
can self-ignite in your sander dust bag or
elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire
always empty your dust bag frequently while
sanding and never store or leave a sander without
totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow the
recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.
