FEATURES
See Figure 1.
Your sander is suitable for sanding with coarse, medium
and ne grit sandpaper. It will produce a ne, scratch free
nish when used to sand with the grain on wood surfaces.
It has been designed so that ush corner sanding on three
sides of the sander is possible.
Your sander has a comfortable palm grip handle that
provides maximum one-hand comfort and reduces
operator fatigue during continuous sanding operations.
Before using this product, familiarize yourself with all
operating features and safety requirements. However, do
not let familiarity with the tool make you careless.
SWITCH
Electronic speed control
The electronic speed control allows the operator to adjust
speed to meet a variety of sanding material from tough
heavy grained timber to delicate veneer.
This tool is equipped with a simple switch control.
 Turn on the sander: Slide the switch to “|”.
 Turn off the sander: Slide the switch to “O”.
WARNING
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you careless.
Remember, a careless fraction of a second is sufcient to
inict severe injury.
DUST COLLECTION BOX
The dust collection box attaches to the sander and keeps
dust to a minimum.
VARIABLE SPEED (MODEL - ESS280RV)
Your sander has advanced electronic features, designed
to assist you in getting the maximum use from your
sander. By making proper speed selections, your tool can
be adjusted to specic sanding needs.
The electronic feature of your tool introduces the exibility
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 the surface of the
workpiece you will be using.
Select clockwise to increase speed for rough surfaces or
for quick removal of stock and anti-clockwise to decrease
speed for the smaller, delicate sanding applications.

ASSEMBLY
WARNING
The tool should never be connected to a power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is
not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious injury.
SANDPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is
an extremely important step in achieving a high quality
sanded nish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and
other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding.
Natural abrasives, such as int and garnet are too soft for
economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material
and ner grit will produce the best nish 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 ner grit used for
nishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with
each grit until surface is uniform.
WARNING
Do not use sander without sandpaper, doing so will
damage the cushion.

ATTACHING THE DUST COLLECTION BOX
See Figure 2.
The dust collection box provides a dust collection system
for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes
of the sanding disc and collected in the dust collection box
during sanding.
1. Unplug the sander.
2. Using a slight twisting motion, rmly slide the dust
collection box assembly in the blower exhaust on the
sander.
WARNING
Exercise caution when using this tool. Careless actions,
for even a fraction of a second, can result in serious
personal injury.
APPLICATIONS
You may use the sander for the purposes listed below:
 sanding on wood surfaces
 removing rust from and sanding steel surfaces
 polishing and scrubbing porcelain and metal
CAUTION
Keep the cord away from the sanding pad and position
the cord so that it will not be caught on lumber, tools, or
other objects during sanding.
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating this tool. Failure to do so could
result in dust, shavings, or loose particles being thrown
into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury.
OPERATION
INSTALLING SANDPAPER
Inspect sandpaper before installing. Do not use if broken
or defective.
Hook and loop sandpaper
See Figure 5.
1. Unplug the sander.
2. 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: 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 the tool could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
Non-adhesive sandpaper

2. Release the paper clamp. Remove used sandpaper,
if any.
3. Insert the new sandpaper under the paper clamp.
4. Clamp the sandpaper in place.
TURNING THE SANDER ON/OFF
See Figure 1.
 Turn on the sander: Slide the switch to “|”.
 Turn off the sander: Slide the switch to “O”.
OPERATING THE SANDER
See Figure 3.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Turn on the sander and move it slowly over the
workpiece.
NOTE: 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 nish 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.
Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the
motor. If this occurs, turn sander off and wait until sanding
disc comes to a complete stop, then remove it from
workpiece. Remove your hand from vent area, remove
sanding disc, then with your hand removed from vent
area, turn sander on and run it free without a load to cool
motor.
EMPTYING THE DUST COLLECTION BOX
See Figure 4.
For more efcient operation, empty the dust collection
box when it is no more than half full. Always empty and
clean the dust collection box 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 collection box or elsewhere and
cause re. To reduce the risk of re always empty your
dust collection box frequently (10-15 minutes) while
sanding and never store or leave a sander without
totally emptying its dust collection box. Also follow the
recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.
1. Unplug the sander.
WARNING
Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental
starting causing possible serious injury.
2. Remove the dust collection box from the sander.
3. Shake out the dust.
4. Reattach the dust collection box to the sander.
NOTE: For a more thorough cleaning of the dust collection
box, remove dust collection box from frame and shake out
dust. Replace dust collection box over frame then install
dust collection box assembly on sander.
ORBITAL MOTION
See Figure 7.
Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when removing
old nishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to
required dimensions or for nishing surfaces to be painted.
The sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a very high speed,
allowing the sander to move easily.
LIVE TOOL INDICATOR
This tool features a live tool indicator which illuminates as
soon as the tool is connected to the supply. This warns the
user that the tool is connected and will operate when the

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
The tool should never be connected to a power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is
not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious injury.
WARNING
When servicing use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
GENERAL
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake uids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic.
Electric tools used on berglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to
accelerated wear and possible premature failure because
the berglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to
bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.. Consequently, we
do not recommended that this tool be used for extended
work on these types of materials. However, if you do work
with any of these materials, it is extremely important to
clean the tool using compressed air.
WARNING
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a
sufcient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of
the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no
further lubrication is required.
CLEANING THE SCRUBBING PADS
To ensure longer life and optimum performance,
periodically clean all sanding residue and foreign
materials from the scrubbing pads. This can be done
simply by rinsing the pad with warm water until all foreign
material has been washed away. After cleaning, gently
squeeze the pad to remove excess water and allow pad
to dry. Always store pads and sanding sheets at in a cool
dry location.
CLEANING THE SANDING SHEETS
The sanding sheets that came with your sander are
made to be re-used. Therefore, it is important that they
be cleaned periodically to remove sanding residue and
foreign material that can accumulate over time.
To clean sanding sheets, rub the sheets with a hard rubber
block. You can also use the clean rubber sole of a shoe.
WARNING
Always remove scrubbing or sanding pad from sander
before cleaning. Failure to do so could cause serious
personal injury.
