ORBITAL MOTION

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.
As shown in figure 6, the sandpaper moves in tiny  circles at
a very high speed, allowing the sander to move easily.

DUSTLESS SANDING

The dust bag located on the rear of your sander provides a
dust collection system for your sander.  Sanding dust is drawn
up through the holes of the cushion and collects in the dust
bag during sanding operation. For more efficient operation,
empty dust bag frequently.

 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.

TO EMPTY DUST BAG

Unplug your sander.

WARNING:

Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
