SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!

WARNING: BE SURE to read and understand all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious personal injury.
WORK AREA SAFETY
i. ALWAYS keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark
areas inviteaccidents°
2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Powertoolscreatesparks 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
I. 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 insulationQeliminates the need for thethree 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 vollage 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 isan increased risk of electric shock
if your 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 a power
toot will increasethe 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 shock°
8. When operating a power tool outside, At.WAYS use an outdoor extension
cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock_
NOTE: The extension cord must have adequate wire size AWG (American Wire
Gauge) for safe, efficientuse° Smaller gauge wires have greater capacity (16 gauge
wire has more capacity than 18 gauge wire).

PERSONAL SAFETY
1.ALWAYS stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. DO NOT use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment ofinattentionwhile operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury_
2. ALWAYS dress properly. DO NOT wear loose clothing or jewelry. Pull back
long hair, Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught inmoving parts.
3. ALWAYS avoid accidental starting. BE SURE switch is in the "Off" position
before plugging in. Carrying tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
tools that have the switch in the "On" position invitesaccidents,
4. ALWAYS remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the tool on.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.
5. DO NOT overreach. ALWAYS keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footingand balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
6. ALWAYS use safety equipment. ALWAYS wear eye protection. Dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for
appropriate conditions
TOOL USE AND CARE SAFETY
1. ALWAYS use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holdingthe work by hand or againstyour body
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. DO NOT force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do thejob better and safer at the rate forwhich itis designed.
3. DO NOT use the tool if the switch does not turn it "On" or "Off", Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. ALWAYS disconnect the plug from the power source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. ALWAYS store idle tools out of the reach of children and other untrained
persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users°
6, ALWAYS maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
7. ALWAYS check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool's operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.

ADDITIONALRULESFORSAFEOPERATIONCONT.
7.DONOT 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 electricshock,
8, ALWAYS make sure that your extension cord is in good condition. When
using an extension cord be sure to use one that is heavy enough to carry
the current that your tool will draw. A wire gauge size (A,W.G,) of at least 16
is recommended for an extension 100 feet or less in length. Using an
extension cord that is over 100 feet in length is not recommended. If in
doubt, use the next heavier gauge. Smaller gauge wires, have greater
capacity (16 gauge wire has more capacity than 18 gauge wire).
An undersized cord will cause a drop in fine voltage, resulting in toss of power
and overheating,
9. ALWAYS inspect and remove all nails from lumber before sanding.
10. DO NOT use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
any medication.
11.SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them frequently and use them to
instruct others who may use this tool. If someone borrows this tool, make
sure they have these instructions also.
Z_WARNING; Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing;
grinding, drilling and other construction jobs contain chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm, Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
°Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products°
•Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber,
Your risk from these exposuresvaries, depending upon how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
° Work in a well-ventilated area.
• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks thatare
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

ADDITIONAL RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION CONT.

l"Z_"WARN'NG: Unsecured w°rk c°uld be thr°wn t°wards the °perat°r causing i,njury.
2. ALWAYS hold your sander in front and away from you, keeping it ctear of the
workpiece.
3. Start the sander by squeezing the trigger switch and then let the motor come up
to maximum speed_
4. Gradually lower the sander onto the workpiece with a slight forward movement°
(See Fig, 7°)
5. Move it slowly, using Fig 8
forward and backward
strokes°
13

SANDINGTIPS
1. DO NOT force the sander. The weightof 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 inferiorwork°
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 wilt line up with the holes in the cushion.
Selecting the correct grit and type of sandpaper is an extremely important decision
that wilt allow you to achieve the best quality sanding finish°
1. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide and other synthetic abrasives are best for power
sanding.
2oNatural 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 win 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..
i n,,,,l,,,,,Huu,,,,lluulllll ul,uu,
WARNING: DO NOT wear loose clothing orjewelry when operating i
sander. They could get caught in moving parts, causing serious injury. Keep head I
away from sander and sanding area. Hair could be drawn into sander, causing
seriousinjury. I
14

ORBITAL MOTION (See Fig. 9)
As shown in Figure 9, the orbit of the sander is 1/10-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 Fig 9
3, Sanding stock down to
required dimensions
4. Finishing surfaces that
are to be painted
1/10-inOrbitat Motion
FLUSH SANDING (See Fig. 10)
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.
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 islefton 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 itoIf this happens it makes it difficult 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'toremove thesandpaper

Itisa known fact that electric toolsare subject to acceleratedwear and possible
premature failure when they are used to work on fiber glass,
wallboard, spackling compounds or piaster.The chips and grindings from these
materials are highly abrasive to electrical toolparts, 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, itis extremely important that the toolis
cleaned frequently by [blowing with an air jet.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some tossof power. To keep theloss 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 (_,;WG)of at least 16 isrecommended for an extensioncord 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 WAo
