Work Piece and Work Area Set up
Designate a work area that is clean and 1.
well-lit. The work area must not allow
access by children or pets to prevent
distraction and injury.
Route the power cord along a safe
2.
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.
Secure loose work pieces using a vise
3.
or clamps (not included) to prevent
movement while working.
There must not be hazardous objects,
4.
such as utility lines or foreign objects,
nearby that will present a hazard while
working. Make sure the wood you are
sanding does not have any nails or
metal of any kind in it, or you will ruin
the sandpaper and damage the Backing
Pad.
You must use personal safety equipment
5.
including, but not limited to, ANSI-
approved eye and hearing protection, as
well as heavy work gloves.
Before beginning work, provide for
6.
sparks and debris that will fly off the work
surface.
general Operating Instructions
Turn on the Sander using the Switch. 1.
Run the Sander for a few seconds before 2.
contacting the workpiece.
Contact the workpiece with minimal
3.
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 orbital sanders leave sanding marks
on the workpiece. To minimize sanding
marks, always try to sand with the grain
of the wood.
Occasionally check the sandpaper
4.
for tears, wear, or fraying. Replace if
necessary.
When you are finished, turn off the
5.
Switch.
Allow the tool to come to a complete stop
6.
before setting it down.
To prevent accidents, turn off the tool
7.
and disconnect its power supply after
use. Clean, then store the tool indoors
out of children’s reach.
