FEATURES
SWITCH (1)
This tool is equipped with a simple switch control located
near the front of the motor housing.
CIRCULAR SANDING ACTION
The oscillating action of your sander produces very quick,
small circular motion of the sanding pad. The motion is
ideal for producing a fine finished grain.
DUST COLLECTION BAG (3)
The dust bag attaches to the sander and keeps dust
to a minimum.
PAPER HOLE PUNCH FOR 1/3 SHEET PAD(9)
The paper punch template punches sandpaper (5) for
proper fit and alignment.
VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (4)
Your sander has advanced electronic features, designed
to assist you in getting the maximum use from your
sander. By making proper speed selections, your sander
can be adjusted to specific sanding needs.
The variable speed control allows the sander to develop
a no load speed that can be adjusted from 6,000 to
12,000 min^-1. The variable speed control selector is
conveniently located on the front of the sander.
The electronic feature of your sander introduces the
flexibility of adjusting the motor speed to required job
conditions. An electronic speed control module senses
the load applied to the motor and increases or decreases
motor voltage to compensate for and maintain desired
RPM. Speed can be set according to the sanding
purpose or work-piece's surface you will be using.
Selector clockwise to increase speed for the rough
surface or for quick removal of stock and anti-clockwise
to decrease speed for the smaller delicate sanding
applications.
HOOK AND LOOP POWER CORD WRAP (Fig. 13)
This tool is fitted with a hook and loop power cord
wrap. This is designed to keep the power cord
wrapped up when the tool is not in use and for easier
storage of the tool, loop the power cord several times
(depending on the length) and loop the wrap around
the power cord until secure.
Livetool IndicatorTM
This tool features a Livetool IndicatorTM(5) which
illuminates as soon as the tool is connected to the power
supply. This warns the user that the tool is connected to
live power and will operate when the switch is pressed.

TURNING THE SANDER ON/OFF (Fig. 2)
Follow these steps to turn the sander ON/OFF:
■Turn on the sander: Push the ON/OFF switch
to the left.
■Turn off the sander: Push the ON/OFF switch
to the right.
OPERATING THE SANDER (Fig. 3)
Follow these steps to operate the sander.
■Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving under
the sander.
WARNING
Unsecured workpieces could be thrown towards
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 disc surface is in contact with the workpiece.
CAUTION
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 disc and sander do the
work. Applying additional pressure only slows the
motor, rapidly wears sanding disc 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.

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, as shown in (fig. 4).
WARNING
Do not contact the pad with your hands during
operation when the RO pad is used,the no load
speed is very high which may cause injuries.
EMPTYING THE DUST BAG (Fig. 12)
For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it
is no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow
through the bag better. Always empty and clean the dust
bag thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation
and before placing the sander in storage.
WARNING
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface
coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil etc.
can self-ignite in your sander dust bag or
elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of
fire always empty your dust bag frequently
(10-15 minutes) while sanding and never store or
leave a sander without totally emptying its dust
bag. Also follow the recommendations of the
coatings manufacturers.
Follow these steps to empty the dust bag:
■Unplug the sander.
WARNING
Failure to unplug the tool could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious injury.
■Remove the dust bag from the sander.
■Shake out the dust.
■Reattach the dust bag to the sander.
For a more thorough cleaning of the dust bag, remove
dust bag from frame, as shown in figure 12 and shake
out dust. Replace dust bag over frame then install dust
bag assembly on sander.
CHANGING THE BASE PADS (1/3 SHEET, RANDOM
ORBIT & TRIANGULAR PAD) (Fig. 6)
■For safety, ensure your sander is unplugged.

■Align holes in hook and loop type sanding disc with
holes in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of
sanding disc against pad as tightly as possible.
Note: Hook and loop type sanding discs can be
reused for the life of the sanding abrasive. It is
recommended that you keep the sanding disc backing
pad clean to provide for best adhesion. Clean
occasionally by brushing lightly with a small brush.
WARNING
Failure to unplug your sander could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious
personal injury.
INSTALLING NON-ADHESIVE SANDPAPER - 1/3

OPERATION
PAPER PUNCH (Fig. 9)
A paper punch template has been supplied with your sander
for aligning and punching holes in sandpaper. The punched
holes must align with the holes in the sander cushion.
■Install sandpaper on your sander.
■Align sander cushion over the paper punch.
■Push down on sander
SANDPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an
extremely important step in achieving a high quality
sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide and other
synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural
abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for
economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and
finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will
determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is
rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface
is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove
scratches left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for
finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with
each grit until surface is uniform.
Note: DO NOT use sander without sandpaper. Doing so
will damage the cushion.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
CAUTION
Be careful not to let your hand completely cover
air vents.
SANDING (Fig. 10)
WARNING
Unsecured work could be thrown towards the
operator causing injury.
Hold your sander in front and away from you, keeping it
clear of the workpiece. Start your sander by pressing the
switch button to "ON" position and letting the motor build
to its maximum speed. Gradually lower your sander on
the work with a slight forward movement. Move it slowly
using forward and backward strokes.
DO NOT FORCE. The weight of the unit supplies adequate
pressure, so let the sandpaper and sander do the work.
Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly
wears sandpaper 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.
WARNING
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery when
operating sander. They could get caught in
moving parts causing serious injury. Keep head
away from sander and sanding area. Hair could
be drawn into sander causing serious injury.
ORBITAL MOTION (Fig. 11)
Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when removing
old finishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to
required dimensions or for finishing surfaces to be painted.
The sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a very high speed,
allowing the sander to move easily.
WARNING
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface
coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil etc.
can self-ignite in your sander dust bag or
elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of
fire always empty your dust bag frequently while
sanding and never store or leave a sander without
totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow the
recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.
USING THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
The dust bag assembly providesa dust collection
system for the sander. Sanding dust isdrawn up
through the holesof the sanding disc and collected
in the dust bag during sanding.
TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY (Fig. 5)
Follow these directionsto attach the dust bag
assembly.
■Unplug the sander.
WARNING
Failure to unplug the tool could result in
accidental starting causing possible serious
injury.
■Slide the dust bag assembly onto the dust port on the
sander using a slight twisting motion.
TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when
it isno more than half full. Thiswill permit the air to
flow through the bag better. Alwaysempty and clean
the dust bag thoroughly upon completion of a
sanding operation and before placing the sander in
storage.
