OPERATION
The backing pad on your sander provides the capability to
use sanding discs with pressure sensitive adhesive back-
ing material. You also receive a conversion pad which al-
lows use of sanding discs with velcro type backing material.
WARNING:
Your sander should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
assembling or replacing sanding disc, cleaning, or when not
in use. Disconnecting your sander will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious personal injury.
TO ATTACH PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE
SANDING DISC
See Figure 2.
■ Unplug your sander.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug your sander could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious personal injury.
■ Carefully peel paper backing from the pressure sensitive
adhesive type sanding disc.
■ Align holes in sanding disc with holes in backing pad,
then carefully press sticky side of disc against pad as
tight as possible.
Note: Holes in sanding disc must line up with holes in
the backing pad in order for the dustless feature of your
sander to function properly.
Note: It is recommended that you clean backing pad
occasionally by brushing lightly with a small brush. Dust
build-up on backing pad could cause sanding disc not to
stick properly.

SANDING DISC SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sanding disc is an
extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded
finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic
abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives,
such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in
power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer
grit will produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The
condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which
grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse
grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may
then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and
finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue
sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.
FEATURES
RANDOM ORBIT
The random orbit motion provides overlapping sanding
movements by combining orbital and turning motion. These
overlapping sanding movements provide fast cutting action
with excellent sanding results.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your sander has a precision built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC
only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool
on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause
a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If your tool does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your sander to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
