Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
General Operating Instructions
1. Make sure that the Trigger is in the
off- off off position, then plug in the tool.
2. Hold the Sander securely with both hands. Turn
on the Sander by turning on the Switch (3).
3. Always run the Sander for a few seconds
before contacting the workpiece.
4. Contact the workpiece with minimal pressure. If
the Sander is not removing enough material,
try a grittier piece of sandpaper. If you want to
remove a lot of material fast, use a belt sander.
Note: All sanders leave sanding marks on
the workpiece. To minimize sanding marks,
always try to sand with the grain of the wood.
5. Occasionally check the sandpaper for tears,
wear, or fraying. Replace if necessary.
6. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and
unplug it after use. Clean, then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
