ASSEMBLY

WARNING
before attaching or removing abrasive sheets.
Attaching Abrasive Sheet
1. To open clamping wire, lift clamping lever
out of it's pocket and then lower lever so it is
positioned as shown in (Fig. 2).
2. Place the abrasive sheet (grit side up)
between the clamping wire and base plate
while aligning edges of the abrasive sheet with
either edge of the pad. (Pre-bending the sheet
makes attachment easier.)
3. After inserting the sheet, raise clamping
lever and return it to it's original position
making sure the clamping wire is secure.
4. Wrap the sheet around the length of the pad and attach free end of sheet under opposite
clamp and repeat procedures 1, 2, & 3 above. The abrasive sheet must be drawn as tight as
possible for efficient sanding, as a loose sheet can slip on the work surface.
Punch Plate
After the paper has been installed, it will be neces sary to punch holes into the paper with the
use of the punch plate provided with your sander. Align sander base with punch plate and
push down on sander until punch plate pierces the paper. Then remove punch plate from
sander (Fig. 1).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Rocker "On/Off" Switch
TO TURN THE TOOL "ON" depress the dust-protected switch to the number "I" position.
TO TURN THE TOOL "OFF": depress switch to the number "0" position.
Always hold the sander off the work when turning the switch "ON" or "OFF". Contact the work
with the tool after sander has reached its full speed and remove it from the work before turning
the switch "OFF". Operating in this manner will prolong switch and motor life and will greatly
increase the quality of your work.
SKIL Orbital Sanders are designed to produce exceptional finishes on wood surfaces, speed
stock removal, or to remove lacquer, varnish, and other coated finishes.
Orbital sanding provides fast, smooth final fin - ish es. And this model can sand flush on all
three sides of the tool, to get in tight places typical of cabinets, desks and shelving.
Pressure Control
Your tool is equipped with pressure control indicator lights. The indicator lights will let you
know if you are applying the proper amount of pressure during operation. If the green indicator
lights are illuminated you are applying the correct amount of pressure. If the red indicator light
illuminates you are applying too much pressure and you need to apply less pressure (Fig. 1).
Always disconnect the plug
from the power source
