STOPPING SANDER
The switch (A) Fig. 21, is mounted in a switch box on the
sander base. To turn the sander "ON" move the switch
(A) to the right position. To turn the sander "OFF" move
the switch (A) to the left position.

IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the switch
should be locked in the "OFF" position to prevent
unauthorized use. This can be done by grasping the

shown in Fig. 22. With the switch toggle (B) removed, the
switch will not operate. However, should the switch
toggle be removed while the sander is running, it can be
