READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!

IZ_ WARNING: BE SURE to read and understand all instructions, I
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric I
shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
1. ALWAYS keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and
dark areas invite accidents.
2. DO NOT operate power tools tn explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. ALWAYS keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet.
DO NOT change the plug in any way.
2. Double insulation [] eliminates the need for the three wire grounded power
cord and grounded power supply system. Applicable only to Class II
(double insulated) tools.
3. Before plugging in the tool, BE SURE that the outlet voltage supplied is
within the voltage marked on the tool's data plate. DO NOT use "AC only"
rated tools with a DC power supply.
4. ALWAYS avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock ifyour body is grounded.
5. If operating the power tool In damp locations is unavoidable, ALWAYS
use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter to supply power to your tool.
ALWAYS wear electrician's rubber gloves and footwear in
damp conditions.
6. DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering
apower too! will increase the risk of electric shock.
7. DO NOT abuse the cord. NEVER use the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from the outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords
increase the risk of electric shook.
8. When operating a power tool outside, ALWAYS use an outdoor
extension cord marked "W-A" or "W'. These cords are rated for outdoor
use and reduce the risk of electric shook.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY cont.
NOTE: The extension cord must have adequate wire size AWG (American
Wire Gauge) for safe, efficient use, Smaller gauge wires have greater
capacity (16 gauge wire has more capacity than I8 gauge wire).

SANDING TIPS
1. DO NOT force the sander. The weight of the sander supplies adequate
pressure. Let the sander and the sandpaper do the work.
A. Applying additional pressure will only slow the motor, wear the
sandpaper out faster and reduce sander speed.
B. Excessive pressure will overload the motor and cause possible damage
to the sander from the motor overheating.
C. Excessive pressure will also result in inferior work.
2. Any existing finish or resin on wood may soften from the heat of the friction,
3. DO NOT sand in one spot for too long a time because the the sander's
rapid action may remove too much material and make the surface uneven.
SELECTING THE RIGHT SANDPAPER
NOTE:This sander has dust collection, so we recommend that you use
sandpaper with pre-punched holes that will line up with the holes in the cushion.
Selecting the correct grit and type of sandpaper is an extremely important
decision that will allow you to achieve the best quality sanding finish,
1. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide and other synthetic abrasives are best for
power sanding.
2. Natural abrasives such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical
use in power sanding.
3. Coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will give you the
best finish in all sanding operations.
4. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will
do the job.
5. If the surface is rough:
A, Start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform.
B, Then use medium to remove any scratches left by the coarse grit.
C. Then use a finer grit for finishing the surface.
NOTE: ALWAYS continue sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform,
NOTE: DO NOT use the sander without sandpaper.
This will damage the cushion.
IZ_ WARNING: DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry when operating I
sander, They could get caught in moving parts, causing serious injury. I
Keep head away from sander and sanding area. Hair could be drawn into
sander, causing serious injury.
16

ORBITAL MOTION (See Fig. 8)
As shown in Figure 8, the orbit of the sander is 1/16-inch in diameter so the
sandpaper moves in tiny circles at high speed.
This orbital action duplicates a "hand sanding" motion for more aggressive
sanding as you push the sander forward. This powerful orbital action is ideal
for heavy-duty sanding applications, such as:
1. Removing old finishes
2. Smoothing rough wood
3. Sanding stock down to required dimensions
4. Finishing surfaces that are to be painted
FLUSH SANDING (See Fig. 9)
Your sander will allow you to flush sand corners. You can use the front and
sides or your sander for flush sanding. DO NOT use the rear of the sander
for flush sanding.
ALWAYS remove the sander from the workpiece before turning it off.
17

REMOVE PRESSURE-SENSITIVE SANDPAPER BEFORE STORAGE
DO NOT store your sander with pressure-sensitive sandpaper still attached.
The heat generated by sanding causes the pressure-sensitive adhesive to
flow and form a tight bond between the cushion and the sandpaper.
ALWAYS remove the sandpaper soon after you have finished sanding to avoid
adhesive set up. When sandpaper is left on the cushion for an extended
period of time after use, the adhesive will set up and make the sandpaper
difficult to remove.
The sandpaper may tear when removing it. If this happens it makes itdifficult
to clean the cushion for the next piece of sandpaper,
NOTE: If you do forget to remove the sandpaper after sanding, run your
sander for a few minutes to soften the adhesive backing before you try
to remove the sandpaper
GENERAL
Z_, WARNIN G: To avoid accidents, ALWAYS disconnect the toolfrom
the power source BEFORE cleaning or performing any maintenance.
IZ_ WARNING: When servicing a tool, ALWAYS use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create arisk of electric
shock or injury and cause product damage,
All parts represent an important part of the double insulation system and
should be serviced only at a Sears Service Center.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible
to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged
by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
Z_ WARNING: DO NOT at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc. to come in contact with plasticparts.
They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
It is a known fact that electric tools are subject to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure when they are used to work on fiber glass boats
and sports cars, wallboard, spackling compounds or plaster. The chips and
grindings from these materials are highly abrasive to electrical tool parts,
such as bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, it is not
recommended that this tool be used for extended work on any fiber glass
material, wallboard, spackling compound, or plaster. During any use on these
materials, it is extremely important that the tool is cleaned frequently by
blowing with an air jet.
I
18

EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some loss of power. To keep the
loss at a minimum and to prevent overheating, use an extension cord that is
heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw.
A wire gauge (AWG) of at least 16 is recommended for an extension cord
100 feet or less in length. When working outdoors ALWAYS use an extension
cord that is suitable for outdoor use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.
Z_ CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from the cutting area, and
position the cord so it will not get caught on lumber, tools, etc. during the
cutting operation.
Z_ WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged,
replace it immediately. NEVER use a tool with a damaged cord because
touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock, resulting in
serious injury.
Extension cords that aresuitablefor usewith yoursander are availableat
