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 DISCS (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.
ATTACHING THE DUST BAG (Fig. 2)
The dust bag provides a dust collection system for the
sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the
sanding sheet and collected in the dust bag during sanding.
Follow these steps to attach the dust bag.
1.
Unplug the sander.
2.
Using a slight twisting motion as shown in figure 2, firmly
slide dust bag assembly onto dust port on sander.

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.
