ELECTRONIC FEEDBACK CIRCUITRY (EFC)
The internal electronic feedback system
provides a "soft start", which will reduce the
stresses that occur from a high torque start.
The system also helps to keep the no load
speed virtually constant between no-load
and load conditions.
VARIABLE SPEED WITH DIAL SETTING
Your sander is also equipped with a variable
speed dial. The sander's orbital pad speed
can be preset from zero to maximum
nameplate OPM by rotating the dial in the
housing. The dial may be set on or between
any of six positions (1=low through 6=high).
