KNOW YOUR RANDOM ORBIT SANDER
See Figure 1.
Before attempting to use this product, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety rules.
ADJUSTABLE FRONT HANDLE
For ease of operation, the front handle can be adjusted using
the supplied hex key.
BACKING PAD
The hook and loop backing pad allows you to quickly and
easily attach sanding discs.
CORD WRAP
The 12-foot power cord has a built-in cord wrap.
DUAL RANDOM ORBIT SELECTOR
The random orbit motion provides overlapping sanding
movements by combining orbital and turning motion.
These overlapping sanding movements provide fast cutting
action with excellent sanding results.

minimum.
ERGONOMIC DESIGN
Your random orbit sander is designed for comfort and ease
of operation in different positions and at different angles.
FEATURES
INTEGRATED BRAKE PAD
The integrated brake pad prevents pad “overspin.” This
feature helps eliminate sanding scratches when you apply
the sander to, or remove it from, a work surface.
LIGHTED PLUG
The lighted plug helps to easily identify live tools.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
The lock-on feature allows you to lock the switch trigger in
the
ON position. Locking the switch trigger on allows you to
operate the sander for extended periods of time.
SOFT START
When a speed is selected with the variable speed dial and
the sander is stopped and then reactivated, the sander will
gradually ramp up to the previous speed setting once the
switch trigger is pressed again.
VACUUM ADAPTOR
The vacuum adaptor allows you to connect to a 1-1/4 in.
or 2-1/2 in. diameter vacuum hose to help keep the work
area clean.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
The variable speed feature allows the sander to develop a
no load speed that can be adjusted from 4,000 to 10,000
orbits per minute by rotating the dial from
A (slowest) to F
(fastest).
