TO REMOVE BATTERY PACK
See Figure 4, page i.
 Locate the latches on the side of the battery pack and
depress them to release the battery pack from the
sander.
OPERATING THE SANDER
See Figure 5 - 6, page i.
 Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving under
the sander.
WARNING:
Unsecured workpieces could be thrown
toward the operator, causing injury.
WARNING:
Keep your head away from the sander
and the sanding area. Your hair could be drawn into
the sander, causing serious injury.
 Place the sander on the workpiece so that all of the
sanding sheet surface is in contact with the workpiece.
CAUTION:
To avoid damaging the motor from
overheating, be careful not to let your hand cover the
air vents.
 Turn on the sander and move it slowly over the
workpiece.
Hold the sander in front and away from you, keeping it
clear of the workpiece. Start sander and let the motor
build to its maximum speed, then gradually lower the
sander onto the workpiece. Move the sander slowly
across the workpiece using small circular motions.
Do not force. The weight of the unit supplies adequate
pressure, so let the sanding sheet and sander do the
work. Applying additional pressure only slows the motor,
rapidly wears sanding sheet and greatly reduces sander
speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing
possible damage from motor overheating and can result in
inferior work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften from
the frictional heat. Do not allow sanding on one spot too
long, as the sander's rapid action may remove too much
material, making the surface uneven.
OPERATION
Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the
motor. If this occurs, turn sander off and wait until sanding
sheet comes to a complete stop, then remove it from
workpiece. Remove your hand from vent area, remove
sanding sheet, then with your hand removed from vent
area, turn sander on and run it free without a load to cool
motor.
For detail sanding such as corners and crevices, use the
tip of the sanding pad with small back and forth motions.
CHANGING SANDING SHEETS
See Figure 7, page i.
The sander is packed with sanding sheets designed
for a variety of uses. To change sheets, simply pull the
used sheet off the base and attach the desired sheet by
pressing the sheet onto the base of the sander.
ROTATING THE SANDING SHEETS
See Figure 8, page i.
The majority of wear in a precision sanding application
occurs at the tip of the sanding sheet. The unique Tri-Flex
design of the sanding sheets allows you to detach and
rotate the top two-thirds of each and extend the life of the
sheet.
To rotate the top of the sheet, simply remove the top
two-thirds along the perforation. Rotate the sheet so that
a clean corner is located at the tip of the base. Press the
sheet firmly onto the pad.
