WARNING:

Do  not  allow  familiarity  with  tools  to  make  you 
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a 
second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.

WARNING:

Always  wear  safety  goggles  or  safety 
glasses  with  side  shields  when  operating 
power  tools.  Failure  to  do  so  could  result 
in  objects  being  thrown  into  your  eyes
resulting in possible serious injury.

WARNING:

Do  not  use  any  attachments  or  accessories 
not  recommended  by  the  manufacturer  of  this 
tool. The use of attachments or accessories not 
recommended  can  result  in  serious  personal 
injury.

WARNING:

Before connecting the sander to a power supply, 
make sure it is not in the locked-on position. Failure 
to do so could result in accidental starting of the 
tool resulting in serious injury.

APPLICATIONS

You may use this tool for the purposes listed below:

Sanding wood, metals, plastics, and other materials

Smoothing rough boards, chamfering, rounding edges

Removing rust, paint, varnishes, and stains

WARNING:

If your sanding job becomes particularly dusty or if 
you have a breathing condition, wear a dust mask 
or respirator to prevent damage to your health.

SELECTING SANDING BELTS

Selecting  the  correct  size  and  type  of  sanding  belt  is  an 
important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Alu-
minum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives 
are best for power sanding.
In general, when sanding, coarse grit removes the most ma-
terial and fine grit produces the best finish. The condition of 
the surface to be sanded determines which grit will do the 
best job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and 
sand until the surface is uniform. Then use medium grit to 
remove scratches left by the coarser grit. Finally, use finer 
grit for finishing the surface. Always continue sanding with 
each grit until the surface is uniform.
