Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean
and well lit. The work area must not
allow access by children or pets to
prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route
to reach the work area without creating a
tripping hazard or exposing the power cord
to possible damage. The power cord must
reach the work area with enough extra length
to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a
vise or clamps (not included) to
prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such
as utility lines, nearby that will
present a hazard while working.
General Operating Instructions
1. Make sure that the Switch is in the
off-position, then plug in the tool.
2. Turn on the Switch.
3. Run the Sander for a few seconds
before contacting the workpiece.
4. Contact the workpiece with minimal pressure.
Use sandpaper with a lower grit number
to remove material faster.
Note: All orbital sanders leave sanding marks
on the workpiece. To minimize sanding marks,
always try to sand with the grain of the wood.
5. Occasionally check the sandpaper for tears,
wear, or fraying. Replace if necessary.
6. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
