OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
FOREWORD
•This sander is suitable for coarse, medium or fine sanding of wood,
plaster, metal and plastics. It is ideal for leveling wallboard joints,
finishing cabinets, polishing furniture, removing paint and varnish and for
general finishing work in the shop.
SELECTING THE RIGHT ABRASIVE GRIT
•By selecting the proper type of abrasive, the finest finishes can be
attained. In general, the coarser grit sizes will remove the most material
and the finer grit sizes will produce the best finishes. The Hook and Loop
5” Disks are available in varying grit sizes.
ATTACHING ABRASIVE DISC
•Make sure the tool is switched off and unplugged before installing or
removing the disc.
•Check the back-up pad (platen) to make sure it is free of debris and/or
foreign matter.
•Align the holes in the disc with the holes in the back-up pad and press
firmly to secure the disc.
•NOTE: Take care not to damage the back-up pad by wearing the abrasive
disc completely down before changing it. The Hook and Loop system can
be damaged and the back-up pad is not a warranty item.
START AND STOP THE SANDER
•CAUTION: Make sure starting switch is in the “OFF” position.
•Attach the dust collection bag by pushing the bag tube over the dust
outlet on the sander. NEVER OPERATE THE SANDER WITHOUT THE
DUST COLLECTION BAG. The bag should be emptied on a regular basis
for efficient dust collecting.

sander.
•Inset cord plug into power source outlet.
•While holding sander firmly and off work surface, push starting switch to
the “ON” position.
