SPEED CONTROL DIAL
this sander is equipped with a speed control dial (3-fig1).
rotate the control dial to select the desired speed, ranging
from low speed marked 1 to high speed marked 6.
allow the sander to reach its full speed before making
any adjustments using the speed control dial. it is best to
start at the lowest speed setting and gradually increase as
necessary.
DUST BAG (FIG 6)
this sander comes with a dust bag (4) for dust colletion.
to attach the dust bag, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the sander is turned off and the battery is
removed.
NOTE:
the sander can be used to sand and smooth
wood, plastic, and some compound materials. it can also
be used to remove or sand smooth materials such as paint,
varnishes, shellac and other finish materials.
review manual section "safety rules for removing Paint
and other finishes" before starting these projects.
for any sanding or finish removal projects start with a low
count grit (generally anything below 100 is considered
rough or low grit).
after sanding to a more level finish or beginning to see
finish removed, switch to a medium grit (generally 100 to
200).
Depending on the final finish result desired use a finish grit
(220 and above) to achieve the final finish.
NOTE:
there are many very high grit sandpapers
available which can be used wet or dry. ONLY use this
type of sandpaper for DRY sanding. DO NOT use it on
the sander for wet sanding.
GENERAL SANDING WITH RANDOM
ORBIT SANDER
NOTE:
secure the workpiece by a clamp or other
device to prevent it from moving under the sander.
unlike most sanders, random orbit sanders should be
placed on the workpiece before the tool is started. if the
sander is started before it is placed on the workpiece,
OPERATION
2. align the slots in the dust bag (4) with the tabs on the
dust port (5)
3. Push the dust bag until the tabs reach the end of the
slot, then turn counterclockwise to lock.

to remove the dust bag, follow these steps:
1. Make sure the sander is turned off and the battery is
removed.
2. turn the dust bag clockwise until it stops.
3. Pull the dust bag away from the dust port.
NOTE:
should be emptied frequently when used for dust collection.
FIG 6
APPLICATIONS
the free-floating pad may be spinning at a speed that can
cause scratches when it is finally placed on the workpiece.
1.
Place the sander on the workpiece and turn on the
sander. Keep the sanding disc flat against the workpiece.
Move the sander slowly across the workpiece using
small circular motions.
2.
Do not force the tool. let it do the work. light pressure is
all that is required for sanding, polishing and scrubbing.
excessive pressure will slow the motor, rapidly wear
sandpaper, reduce sander speed and produce inferior
results.
3.
for all sanding and removal projects, keep the sander
moving in a sweeping motion side to side or forward
and back. (When sanding wood, move in the same
direction as the grain.)
4.
avoid holding the sander in the same position for a
length of time as this will create gouging which will
require additional sanding to remove and smooth.
5.
any finish or resin on wood may soften from frictional
heat. Do not sand on one spot for too long, as the sander
may remove too much material, making your surface
uneven.
6.
Change sandpaper as needed when the grit on the
sandpaper has significantly reduced and is no longer
removing material.
