OPERATION INSTALLING SANDPAPER The cushion on the sander gives you the option of using either non-adhesive sandpaper that clamps to the platen or adhesive backed sandpaper with pressure sensitive adhesive backing that sticks to the cushion. PAPER CLAMP INSTALLING NON-ADHESIVE SANDPAPER See Figure 2. Unplug the sander. PLATEN CUSHION Inspect sandpaper before installing; do not use if broken or defective. LEVER If replacing sandpaper, remove old sandpaper.
OPERATION WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating your sander. Failure to do so could result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. If the sanding operating is dusty, also wear a face or dust mask. SANDPAPER SELECTION Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish.
OPERATION ORBITAL MOTION 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. As shown in figure 6, the sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a very high speed, allowing the sander to move easily. REMOVING PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE (PSA) SANDPAPER BEFORE STORAGE Do not store the sander with the sandpaper installed.
OPERATION ATTACHING SANDER TO VACUUM See Figure 9. When sanding for an extended period of time, you can easily attach the dust collection system of the sander to a vacuum. To attach: Unplug the sander. Remove dust bag from sander. Attach vacuum hose to dust exhaust. NOTE: Vacuum hose fits inside dust exhaust. Connect sander and vacuum to power supply. WARNING: dust exhaust When sander is not connected to vacuum, always install dust bag back on sander.
OPERATOR’S MANUAL 1/4 SHEET SANDER DOUBLE INSULATED S652D WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains 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, and • arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
