Paper Punch
A paper punch template has been supplied with the

The punched holes must align with the holes in the
sandering pad.
1. Install sandpaper on the sander.
2. Align sandering pad over the paper punch.
3. Push down on sander.
Collected sanding dust from sand-
WARNING
ing surface coatings such as
polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-ignite in
the sander dust box or elsewhere and cause fire.
To reduce the risk of fire always empty the dust
box frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and
never store or leave a sander without totally
emptying its dust box. Also follow the recom-
mendations of the coatings manufacturers.
Dust Box with Filter
The dust box provides a dust collection and air filtra-
tion system for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up
through the holes of the sanding pad and collected
in the dust box during sanding. To use the dust box:
1. Unplug the sander.
2. To insert, slide the dust box chute into the sander's
dust port. Ensure the dust box vents are facing
up and push sander and dust box together firmly.
3. To remove, grasp the sander and dust box firmly
and pull apart.
4. To empty, using the tabs, pull off the dust box
lid. Empty dust from the dust box and tap filter
clean. Do not clean filter with water or compressed
air. Replace filter when necessary (Cat. No.
43-31-0105).
For more efficient operation, empty the dust box
when it is no more than half full. This will permit the
air to flow through the box better. Always empty and
clean the dust box thoroughly upon completion of
a sanding operation and before storing the sander.
When sander is not connected to
WARNING
vacuum, always reinstall dust box
assembly back onto sander. Failure to do so
could cause sanding dust or foreign objects to
be thrown into your face or eyes which could
result in possible serious injury.
Universal Hose Adapter
Use the universal hose adapter to attach the sander
to a vacuum hose.
1. Unplug the sander.
2. Remove the dust box from the sander.
3. To insert, slide the adapter into the sander's dust
port. Push sander and adapter together firmly.
Connect the vacuum hose to the adapter, twisting
together to secure.
4. To remove, disconnect the vacuum hose from
the adapter. Then, grasp the sander and adapter
firmly and pull apart.

OPERATION
To reduce the risk of injury, always
WARNING
wear proper eye protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
To reduce the risk of injury, always unplug
tool before attaching or removing accessories
or making adjustments. Use only specifically
recommended accessories. Others may be
hazardous.
Starting and Stopping the Tool

To stop sander, press the OFF (O) button.
Finish sanding can produce clouds
WARNING
of fine dust that could ignite in the
presence of sparks or open flame. Always wear
a suitable dust mask or respirator and use your
sander in a well-ventilated area.
To reduce the risk of injury, inspect for and
remove all raised nails and fasteners from work-
piece before sanding. Striking a fastener while
sanding could cause loss of control.
General Sanding
When using sanders, remember:
•Varying pressure applied to the sander will affect
its speed. A light pressure is recommended for fine
work, moderate pressure for rough work. Excessive
pressure does not allow the pad to move enough.
•Keep sanding pad flat on the workpiece. Tipping the
sander or using the edges of the pad may produce
an uneven finish, and reduce pad life.
•Keep sander moving in broad even strokes across
the workpiece. Sanding in one spot too long can
cause gouging and uneven results.
1. To prevent rough action due to starting under load,
turn ON/OFF Switch ON before applying sander
to workpiece.
2. Work in slow, overlapping strokes parallel to
grain. This sander is designed for even weight
distribution. Excessive pressure may damage
workpiece and motor as well as cause premature
sandpaper wear.
3. Repeat operation using successively finer grits
of sandpaper until desired finish is obtained. Ex-
ample: 60 Coarse, 100 Medium, 150 Fine.
Properly secure workpiece before
WARNING
sanding. Unsecured work could be
thrown towards the operator causing injury.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry when op-
erating 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.
Removing Paint or Varnish
1. When removing several layers of paint or varnish,
remove as much as possible with a paint solvent
or varnish remover.
2. Scrape away the residue with a putty knife or other
scraping tool and allow the surface to cool and dry
before applying sander to the workpiece.
