NOTICE: Applying
additional
pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears
sandpaper,
and greatly reduces
sander speed. Excessive
pressure
will overload
the motor, possibly
causing damage from the motor overheating
and can result
in inferior work.
5.
Move the sander slowly over the workpiece,
making successive passes in parallel
lines, circles, or crosswise movements. The removal rate and the sanding pattern
are determined by the choice of sandpaper and the work surface.
6.
Do not allow sanding on one spot too long, as the sander's
rapid action may
remove too much material and make the surface uneven.
7.
8.
Upon completion
of the sanding operation,
remove the sander from the
workpiece,
turn the sander off and wait until it comes to a complete
stop
before putting it down.
Extended
periods of sanding may tend to overheat
the motor. If this occurs,
remove the sander from the workpiece
and turn it off. Wait until the sander
comes to a complete
stop before putting the sander down. Remove the
sandpaper
and, without
obstructing
the vent area with your hand, turn the
sander on and run it free without
a load to cool the motor.
A
WARNING:
Before cleaning or performing
any maintenance,
make sure that
the random
orbit sander has been disconnected
from the power source.

WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
when using compressed
air to clean the tool. If the operation
is dusty, also wear a
dust mask.
CLEANING
THE DUST
BOX (Fig. 8)
For most 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
when you
have finished
sanding and before
you store the sander.
