uids, gases, or dust Power Cools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes,
■ Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating a pcwer tool. Distractions can cause you to
iose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

■ Double insulated tools ars squippsd with a polar
ized plug {one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet reverse the plug,
if it still does not fit contact a qualified electrician
to install a polarized outlet Do not change the plug
in any way. Double insulation (□] eliminates the need
for the three-wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
■ Avoid body contactwith grounded surfaces such
as pipes, radators, ranges, and refrigerators. There
Is an Increased risk of electric shock if your body Is
grounded.
■ Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
■ Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet Keep cord away from heat, oil, ^arp edges, or moving parts.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
■ When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor

ELECTRICAL

DOUBLE INSULATION

Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. Ail exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tods do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING: The doubie insulated system is
intended to protect the user from shock resulting
A
from a break in the tool's internal insulation. Observe ail normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service, we suggest you return the tool to your nearest
authorized service center for repair Always use original
factory replacement parts when servicing.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

This tod has a precision-built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that le 120 volte, 60 Hz,
AC only (normal household current). 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 operate when plugged Into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.

EXTENSION CORDS

When using a power tool at a considerable distance from a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has
the capacity to handle the current the tool will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to deter
mine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Labora tories (UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a tool, use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is designated with “WA” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

A
vacuum, ahvays install dust bag back on sander.
Failure to do so could cause sanding dust or foreign
objects to be thrown into the face or eyes which
could result in possible serious injury.

SANDPAPER SELECTION

Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural
abrasives such as hint and garnet are too soft tor eco nomical use in power sanding. In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit wii! produce the
best finish in all sanding operations. The condition of the
surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the
job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and
sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and
finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.
NOTE: Do not use sander without sandpaper. Doing so
will damage the cushion.
CAUTION: Be careful not to let your hand com
pletely cover the air vents.

SANDING

See Flares 7 ~ 8.
Clamp or otherwise secure the work to prevent it from moving under the sander.
WARNING: Unsecured work could be thrown to
wards the operator causing injury.
Hold the sander in front and away from you, keeping it dear of the workpiece. Start the sander by sliding the switch button to the ON position and letting the motor
build to its maximum speed. Gradually lower the sander
on the work with a slight fonward movement. Move it slowly using forward and backward strokes.

OPERATION
Do not force. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure. Let the sandpaper and sander do the work. Ap plying additional pressure sfows the motor, rapidly wears sandpaper and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive
pressure will overload the motor causing possible damage
from motor overheating and can result in inferior work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional
heat. Do not allow sanding on one spot too long, as the
Sander's rapid action may remove too much material,
making the surface uneven.
The front edge of the sander allows flush sanding in
corners. Always remove sander from workpiece before turning the sander.

ORBITAL MOTION

See Figure 9.
Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when remov ing old finishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to required dimensions, or for finishing surfaces to be painted. The sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a very
high speed, allowing the sander to move easily.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: When servicing, use only identicat
Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING: Aturays wear safety gaggles or safety
' glasses with side shields during power tool operation
or when blowing dust, if operation is dusty, also wear
a dust mask.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Avoid using sofvenCs when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
A
gasoiine, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemi cals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result In serious personal injury.
Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackllng compounds, or plaster are subject to accel
erated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bear
ings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not
recommended usii^ this tool for extended work on these
types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.

LUBRICATION

All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a suffi
cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.
Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should be replaced at a Sears Service Center.
