GENERAL SAFETy RULES  
with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools  
that have the switch on invites accidents.  
WARNING!  
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning  
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to  
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal  
injury.  
Do not overreach. keep proper footing and balance  
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool  
in unexpected situations.  
Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions  
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or  
serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warn-  
ings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded)  
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.  
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.  
keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving  
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught  
in moving parts.  
If devices are provided for the connection of dust  
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are  
connected and properly used. Use of these devices can  
reduce dust-related hazards.  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS  
WORk AREA SAFETy  
keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark  
areas invite accidents.  
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-  
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable  
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which  
may ignite the dust or fumes.  
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long  
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn  
into air vents.  
keep children and bystanders away while operating a  
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.  
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable  
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the  
power tool in unexpected situations.  
ELECTRICAL SAFETy  
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify  
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with  
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and  
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.  
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE  
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool  
for your application. The correct power tool will do the job  
better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.  
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces  
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.  
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body  
is earthed or grounded.  
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.  
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-  
tric shock.  
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn  
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled  
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.  
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or  
the battery pack from the power tool before making  
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing  
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce  
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.  
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and  
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool  
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power  
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-  
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other  
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.  
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.  
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power  
tools.  
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,  
pulling or unplugging the power tool. keep cord away  
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged  
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-  
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-  
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.  
PERSONAL SAFETy  
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use  
common sense when operating a power tool. Do  
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the  
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment  
of inattention while operating power tools may result in  
serious personal injury.  
keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-  
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less  
likely to bind and are easier to control.  
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.  
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropri-  
ate conditions will reduce personal injuries.  
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in  
accordance with these instructions and in the manner  
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking  
into account the working conditions and the work to  
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations dif-  
ferent from those intended could result in a hazardous  
situation.  
Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the  
off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools

GENERAL SAFETy RULES  
SERVICE  
When servicing a power tool, use only identical  
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Main-  
tenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized  
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may  
create a risk of shock or injury.  
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair  
person using only identical replacement parts. This will  
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.  
WARNING!  
To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction  
manual.  
SPECIFIC SAFETy RULES  
Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when  
performing an operation where the cutting tool may  
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a  
“live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool “live”  
and shock the operator.  
properly and perform its intended function. Check for  
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,  
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions  
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that  
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced  
by an authorized service center. Following this rule will  
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.  
know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-  
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as  
the specific potential hazards related to this power  
tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric  
shock, fire, or serious injury.  
Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-  
tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use  
one heavy enough to carry the current your product  
will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is  
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less  
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recom-  
mended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The  
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting  
in loss of power and overheating.  
Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses  
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety  
glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious  
personal injury.  
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the  
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk  
of serious personal injury.  
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before  
using this power tool. Following this rule will reduce the  
risk of serious personal injury.  
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during  
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will  
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.  
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be  
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized  
service center to avoid risk.  
Inspect power tool cords periodically and, if damaged,  
have repaired at your nearest Authorized Service Cen-  
ter. Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following  
this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.  
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and  
use them to instruct others who may use this power tool.  
If you loan someone this power tool, loan them these  
instructions also.  
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the power  
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be  
carefully checked to determine that it will operate

ELECTRICAL  
DOUBLE INSULATION  
EXTENSION CORDS  
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power  
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-  
wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are  
isolated from the internal metal motor components with  
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need  
to be grounded.  
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from  
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has  
the capacity to handle the current the product will draw. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in  
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine  
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only  
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories  
(UL) should be used.  
WARNING:  
When working outdoors with a product , use an extension  
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is  
designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.  
The double insulated system is intended to protect  
the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s  
internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions  
to avoid electrical shock.  
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or  
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.  
NOTE:Servicingofaproductwithdoubleinsulationrequires  
extreme care and knowledge of the system and should  
be performed only by a qualified service technician. For  
service, we suggest you return the product to your near-  
est authorized service center for repair. Always use original  
factory replacement parts when servicing.

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. 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.  
Fig. 4  
NOTE: DO NOT use sander without sandpaper. Doing so  
will damage the cushion.  
CAUTION:  
Be careful not to let your hand completely cover air  
vents.  
SANDING

WARNING:  
work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften from the fric-  
tional 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.  
Unsecured work could be thrown towards the operator  
causing injury.  
Hold the sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear  
of the workpiece. Start the sander by pressing the switch  
button to “ON” position and letting the motor build to its  
maximum speed. Gradually lower the sander on the work  
withaslightforwardmovement.Moveitslowlyusingforward  
and backward strokes.  
Flush sanding can be performed with the sander. The front  
edge of the sander allows flush sanding in corners. Always  
remove the sander from the workpiece before turning the  
sander off.  
WARNING:  
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.  
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry 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.  
Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing possible  
damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior

OPERATION  
ORBITAL MOTION  
Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when remov-  
ing 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. Heat  
generated from sanding causes the pressure sensitive  
adhesive to flow and form a tight bond between the backing  
pad and sandpaper.  
ORBITAl MOTION  
Removing the sandpaper soon after you have finished a  
sanding operation avoids letting the adhesive set up. If the  
sandpaper is left on the backing pad for an extended period  
of time after use, the adhesive will set up and cause the  
sandpaper to become difficult to remove.  
Fig. 6  
It may also tear when removing. When this situation occurs,  
it becomes difficult to clean the backing pad for the next  
sheet of sandpaper.  
NOTE: If you forget to remove the sandpaper after a sand-  
ing operation, sand for a few minutes to soften the adhesive  
backing before attempting to remove sandpaper.

Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings  
such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite in  
the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce  
the risk of fire, always empty the 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.  
For a more thorough cleaning of the dust bag, remove  
dust bag from the frame and shake out dust.  
Replace the dust bag over the frame, then reinstall on the  
sander.
