assembling or replacing sanding discs
or bonnets, cleaning, or when not in use.
Disconnecting sander/polisher will prevent
accidental starting that could cause serious
personal injury.
LOCK-ON BUTTON

hold the "lock-on" button located on the side of the
handle, then release the switch trigger. Release "lock-

An auxiliary handle is packed with your sander/pol­
isher for ease of operation and to help prevent loss of

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your sander/polisher has a precision built electric
motor. It should be connected to a power supply that
is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household cur­
rent). Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC).
A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power
and the motor will overheat. If your tool does not op­
erate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
