moving parts causing serious injury. Keep head
away from sander and sanding area. Hair could
be drawn into sander causing serious injury.
ORBITAL MOTION (Fig. 2)
Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when removing
old finishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to
OPERATION
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.
USING THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
The dust bag assembly provides a dust collection system
for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the
holes of the sanding disc and collected in the dust bag
during sanding.
TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY (Fig. 3)
Follow these directions to attach the dust bag assembly.
■
Unplug the sander.
WARNING
Failure to unplug the tool could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious injury.
■
Slide the dust bag assembly onto the blower exhaust
on the sander using a slight twisting motion.
TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY (Fig. 4)
For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is
no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow
through the bag better. Always empty and clean the dust
bag thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation
and before placing the sander in storage.
To empty dust bag:
■
Unplug your sander.
WARNING
Failure to unplug your sander could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious
personal injury.
■
Remove the dust bag assembly from the sander.
■
Remove the dust bag from the frame.
■
Shake out the dust.
■
Replace the dust bag on the frame.
■
Replace the dust bag assembly on the sander.

WARNING
The tool 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

create a hazard or cause product damage.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. They contain
chemicals that can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic.
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
