GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body
is earthed or grounded.
Do not 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 for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoid-
able, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric
shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use
a power tool while you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inatten-
tion while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask,
2 - English
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source
and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to
a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal
injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool
in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting
accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Know your power tool. Read operator’s manual care-
fully. Learn its applications and limitations, as well
as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock,
fire, or serious injury.
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1 when assembling parts,
operating the tool, or performing maintenance. Fol-
lowing this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal
injury.
Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
Inspect tool cords periodically and, if damaged, have
repaired at your nearest authorized service center.
Constantly stay aware of cord location. Following this
rule will reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of the
tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should
SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
When servicing a power tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in the Maintenance section of this manual. Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow Maintenance instructions may
create a risk of shock or injury.
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, and any other conditions
that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that
is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service center. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of shock, fire, or serious injury.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condi-
tion. When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your product
will draw. A wire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommended for an extension cord 50 feet or less
in length. A cord exceeding 100 feet is not recommended. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating.
Inspect for and remove all nails from lumber before
using this tool. Following this rule will reduce the risk of
serious personal injury.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorized
service center to avoid risk.
Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and
use them to instruct others who may use this product. If
you loan someone this product, loan them these instructions also.

ELECTRICAL
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual threewire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the tool’s
internal insulation. Observe all normal safety precautions
to avoid electrical shock.
NOTE: Servicing of a product 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 product to your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always use original
factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product has a precision-built electric motor. It should
be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz,
AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this
product on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
the product 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 product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to determine
the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only
round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL) should be used.
When working outdoors with a product , use an extension
cord that is designed for outside use. This type of cord is
designated with “W-A” or “W” on the cord’s jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
Sanding on wood surfaces
Removing rust from and sanding steel surfaces
TURNING THE SANDER ON/OFF
See Figure 1, page 10.
To start the sander, place the power switch in the ON ( l )
position.
To stop the sander, place the power switch in the OFF
( O ) position.
SANDPAPER SELECTION
The cushion on the sander gives you the option of using
either non-adhesive sandpaper that clamps to the platen
or pressure sensitive adhesive sandpaper.
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 flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in
power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer
grit will 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 the sander without sandpaper. Doing so
will damage the cushion.
PAPER PUNCH
See Figure 2, page 10.
A paper punch template is included for aligning and punching holes in sandpaper. The punched holes must align with
the holes in the sander cushion.
Install sandpaper on the sander.
Align the sander cushion over the paper punch.
Push down on sander.
INSTALLING NON-ADHESIVE SANDPAPER
See Figure 3, page 11.
This sander accepts 1/3 sheet non-adhesive sandpaper.
Inspect sandpaper before installing. Do not use if broken
or defective.
Unplug the sander.
NOTE: Removing the dust box assembly will make install-
ing non-adhesive sandpaper easier. Always remember to
replace the dust box assembly before beginning operation.
If replacing sandpaper, remove the old sandpaper. A lever
is located on each side of the sander. Release the paper
clamps securing the sandpaper by lifting up on each lever
and disengaging from the slot in the platen.
6 - English
OPERATION
Insert the end of new 1/3 sheet sandpaper approximately
1/2 in. under the front paper clamp.
Lift up on the lever on the right side of the sander and
lock into the slot on the platen. Apply downward pressure
to conform the sandpaper to the platen.
Wrap sandpaper around the cushion and insert the loose
end of the sandpaper under the rear paper clamp. Fit the
sandpaper against the cushion as tight as possible.
Lift up on the lever on the left side of the sander and lock
into the slot on the platen.
INSTALLING PRESSURE SENSITIVE
ADHESIVE SANDPAPER
See Figure 4, page 11.
Unplug the sander.
If replacing adhesive sandpaper, remove old sandpaper
by peeling it off the cushion.
NOTE: Sand for a few minutes to soften the adhesive
backing before attempting to remove old sandpaper.
If replacing regular sandpaper, release the paper clamp
by lifting up on lever and disengaging it from the slot on
the platen. Remove non-adhesive sandpaper, then lift up
on paper clamp lever and lock it into place.
Carefully peel adhesive backing from new 1/3 sheet
sandpaper.
Position sandpaper, making sure front edge of sandpaper
is aligned with front edge of the cushion, then carefully
press sticky side of sandpaper on cushion.
NOTE: Sandpaper must be aligned with the front edge
of the cushion for proper functioning of the flush sanding
feature.
REMOVING PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE
SANDPAPER BEFORE STORAGE
Do not store the sander with the sandpaper installed. Heat
generated from sanding causes the pressure sensitive
adhesive to flow and form a tight bond between the backing
pad and sandpaper.
Remove the sandpaper soon after you have finished a sanding operation. If the sandpaper is left on the backing pad for
an extended period of time after use, the adhesive will set
up and cause the sandpaper to become difficult to remove.
It may also tear when removing, making it difficult to clean
the backing pad for the next sheet of sandpaper.
NOTE: If you forget to remove the sandpaper after a sanding operation, sand for a few minutes to soften the adhesive
backing before attempting to remove sandpaper.
DUST COLLECTION SYSTEM
The built-in dust collection system helps to keep the work
area clean.
WARNING:
To prevent the possibility of sanding dust or foreign
objects being thrown into your face or eyes, never
attempt to use the sander without the dust box assembly
properly installed. Sanding dust or foreign objects being
thrown into your face could result in possible serious
injury.
REMOVING AND EMPTYING THE DUST
COLLECTION BOX
See Figure 5, page 11.
WARNING:
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings
such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-ignite
in the sander dust box or elsewhere and cause fire. To
reduce the risk of fire, always empty the dust box frequently while sanding and never store or leave a sander
without totally emptying its dust box. Also follow the
recommendations of the coatings’ manufacturers.
For more efficient operation, empty the dust collection box
when no more than half full. This will permit better air flow
through the box or filter.
Always empty and clean the dust collection box thoroughly
after each sanding operation and before storing the sander.
Unplug the sander.
To remove the dust collection box, grasp the ridges on
the sides and pull straight out.
Remove the cover by pushing up on the tab.
Remove the filter and shake to remove dust and debris.
Shake the dust collection box to empty sanding dust.
Replace the filter and cover.
To reinstall the dust collection box, align the tab on the
box with the slot above the exhaust.
Push the dust box until it snaps into place.

OPERATION
ATTACHING A VACUUM TO THE SANDER
See Figure 6, page 11.
When sanding for an extended period of time, you can attach
a vacuum hose to the sander.
To attach:
Unplug the sander.
Removedustboxfromthesander.
Attach a vacuum hose to dust exhaust.
NOTE: Vacuum hose fits inside dust exhaust.
Connect sander and vacuum to power supply.
WARNING:
When sander is not connected to vacuum, always install
dust collection box back onto the 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.
ORBITAL MOTION
See Figure 7, page 11.
Orbital motion is ideal for removing 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 high speed, allowing the sander to move
easily over the workpiece.
OPERATING THE SANDER
See Figure 8, page 11.
WARNING:
Clamp or otherwise secure work to prevent it from moving
under the sander. Failure to do so could result in unsecured work being thrown towards the operator, resulting
in possible serious injury.
Hold the sander in front of and away from you, keeping it
clear 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 forward movement. Move it slowly using forward
and backward strokes.
Do not force. The weight of the unit supplies adequate
pressure, so let the sandpaper and sander do the work.
Applying additional pressure slows the motor, rapidly wears
sandpaper and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive
pressure will overload the motor, possibly causing damage
that results in inferior work.
Any finish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional heat.
Do not sand one spot too long, as the sander’s rapid action
may remove too much material, making the surface uneven.
Always remove the sander from the workpiece before turning it off.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to let your hand cover the air vents.
FLUSH SANDING
See Figure 9, page 11.
Every side except the rear of the sander allows flush sanding in corners.
