Because the orbital motion of the
sanding pad moves in tiny circles,
it is not necessary to move the
sander with the grain or in the same
direction for successive passes.
Upon completion of the sanding
operation, turn the sander OFF by
pressing on the opposite side of
the ON/OFF switch. Wait until the
sanding pad comes to a complete
stop before removing it from the
workpiece.
WARNING: Your sander should
only be turned ON when the entire
surface of the sanding pad is in
contact with the workpiece. Failure
to follow this sanding procedure
could result in loose sandpaper
which could result in possible injury.
NOTE: Hold the sander using the
grip on top of the sander. Be careful
NOT to cover the motor cooling
vents with your hand. Motor damage
may occur from over heating if the
cooling vents are covered.
DO NOT FORCE THE SANDER.
The weight of the sander usually
provides adequate pressure. Let
the sander and the sandpaper do
the work. Applying added pressure
will slow the motor, increase the
wear on the sandpaper and greatly
reduce the sander speed.

is applied. It will also create an
inferior finish on sanded work. Any
finish or resin on wood will soften
from the frictional heat, causing the
sandpaper to become clogged very
quickly. Do not sand in 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, wait
until the sanding pad comes to a
complete stop and remove it from
the workpiece. Check to make sure
your hand has not been covering
the cooling vents. Let the motor
cool before continuing the sanding
