ROCKER ON/OFF SWITCH 

This random orbit sander is equipped with a dust-sealed ON/OFF rocker switch, 
located on the front of the handle.
1.    To turn the sander ON, depress the rocker switch to the “I” position.
2.    To turn the tool OFF, depress the rocker switch to the “O” position.

GENERAL SANDING

WARNING: Finish sanding can produce clouds of fine sanding dust that 

could ignite in the presence of sparks or an open flame. To avoid injury, 

always use your sander in a well ventilated area.

1.    Place  the  sander  on  the  workpiece  BEFORE  turning  the  switch  ON.  If  the 

sander is started before making   contact with the workpiece, the free floating 
work pad may cause scratches.

2.    Move the sander in long sweeping strokes parallel to the grain, using some 

lateral motion to overlap the strokes by as much as 75%.  The random orbit 
action allows cross-grain sanding, but be careful not to tilt the sander near 
edges, or undesirable rounding may result.

3.    The amount of downward pressure will affect the rotation speed and sanding 

results:

  a.   Light pressure: recommended for fine work
  b.   Moderate pressure: recommended for rough work.
  c.   Do not exert heavy pressure; it does not allow the disc to rotate sufficiently.
4.    Keep the sanding disc flat on the workpiece. Using the edges of the pad or 

tipping  the  sander  may  cause  an  uneven  finish  and  reduce  the  life  of  the 
sanding pad.

5.    Begin sanding with a coarser grit sandpaper and gradually use finer and finer 

grits until the desired finish is achieved. Do not switch from a coarse grit to a 
very fine grit in one step.

6.    Random orbit sanders work more aggressively than simple orbital sanders. 

Check your workpiece frequently. 

7.    To help prevent swirl marks when the job is completed, gently lift the tool from 

the work surface, then switch the tool off.
