Secure the work to prevent it from moving under the
sander.
_,
WARNING:
Unsecured work could be thrown
towards the operator causing injury.
• Turn the sander on and let the motor reach its maxi-
mum speed before placing the sander on the work
surface.
•
Lower the sander to the work surface with a slight for-
ward motion.
•
Move the sander slowly over the work surface, us-
ing the rear handle to control the sander and the front
handle to guide the sander.
NOTE: Allowing the sander to remain in one place will
result in an uneven surface.

Keep a firm grip on the sander with
both hands at all times. Failure to do so could result
in loss of control leading to possible serious injury.

the sanding belt. Excessive pressure will result in the fol-
lowing:

PROPER
HAND PLACEMENT
See Figure 10.
For ease of operation and maintaining proper control,
the sander has a front handle and a rear handle. These
handles allow two-handed
operation, which aids in main-
taining control, keeping the sanding area level with the
workpiece, and keeping hands clear of the sanding belt.
When operating the sander, always hold the front handle
with your left hand and the rear handle with your right
hand.
_,
WARNING:
Do not let your fingers rest over the
front or right edge of the sander. If the sanding belt
were to run off, or if it were not properly adjusted,
your fingers could come in contact with the moving
sanding belt resulting in possible serious injury.
