F. The dial is conveniently located on the motor housing,
allowing operator control of disc speed.

WARNING:
To prevent the possibility of sanding dust or foreign objects
being thrown into the face or eyes, never attempt to use
the sander without the dust bag properly installed. Sanding
dust or foreign objects being thrown into the face could
result in possible serious personal injury.
DUSTLESS SANDING
The dust bag assembly provides a dust collection system
for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes
of the sanding disc to collect in the dust bag during sanding
operation.
NOTE: For more efficient operation, empty dust bag when
no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through
the bag better.
