VARIABLE SPEED

See Figure 2.

The sander has a variable speed control dial, 

A (slowest)

to 

F  (fastest)

,  designed  to  allow  operator  control  of  belt 

speed. To increase belt speed, turn the variable speed control 
dial to a higher setting. Turn to a lower setting to decrease 
belt speed. Refer to the chart on page 10 for proper speed 
selections.

PROPER HAND PLACEMENT

See Figure 3.

For  ease  of  operation  the  sander  has  an  adjustable  front 
handle and a stationary rear handle. These handles allow 
two-handed  operation  which  aids  in  maintaining  control, 
keeping  sander  level  with  workpiece,  and  keeping  hands 
clear  of  sanding  belt.  When  operating  the  sander  always 
hold the front handle with the left hand and the rear handle 
with the right hand as shown. 

WARNING:

Keep hands and fingers clear of moving sanding 
belt, front pulley, and drive roller assembly. Failure 
to do so will result in the sanding of the hands or 
fingers possibly causing serious injury.

WARNING:

Do not let your fingers rest over the front or right 
edge of the sander. If the sanding belt were to run 
off, or if it were not properly adjusted, your fingers 
could come in contact with the moving sanding 
belt resulting in possible serious injury.

TURNING ON/OFF THE SANDER

See Figure 4.

n

  To turn on the sander: Depress the switch trigger.

n

  To turn off the sander: Release the switch trigger.

SOFT START FEATURE

Soft start is a feature whereby the motor gradually ramps 
up to the selected top speed. For example, when a speed 
is  selected  with  the  speed limiting  dial  and  the  sander  is 
stopped and then activated again, the sander will gradually 
ramp up to the previous speed setting once the switch trig-
ger is pressed again.
