Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control • Feed the work piece in the correct direction and speed. Feed the work piece into a blade, cutter, or abrasive surface against the direction of the cutting tool’s direction of rotation only. Incorrectly feeding the work piece in the same direction may cause the work piece to be thrown out at high speed. • Never leave the tool running unattended, turn the power off. Do not leave the tool until it comes to a complete stop. • Never start the power tool when any rotating component is in contact with the work piece.

Then pull the dust bag straight back. • To empty the bag you simply turn it on end with round mounting tube at the front of the bag pointing downward and shake the content from the bag into a container. To Reinstall the Dust Collection Bag: • Unplug the sander from the power source. • Insert the mounting tube into the dust exhaust port at the rear of the sander until it is firmly set in place. Sanding Operation Your sander smooths the workpiece surface by the pad moving in tiny circles at high speed. This type of sanding action called "orbital motion", giving your sander a very fast cutting action for quick removal of large amounts of stock, especially with the coarser grit abrasive papers. On most sanding jobs, orbital motion gives you the ability to sand in any direction irrespective of the wood’s grain. However, to attain a better finish, it is best to sand "with" the grain. To Use the Sander • Clamp or otherwise secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving while you’re sanding. • Hold the tool in front and away from you and clear of the workpiece. Start the sander by pressing the switch to the "I" (ON) position and let it come up to full speed. 1/4 Sheet Palm Sander Operator’s Manual GPS2303...

Page 11: Maintenance
• Slowly lower your sander onto the workpiece, then move the sander in slow forward & backward strokes. Do not force or push the tool down on the workpiece (the weight of the tool is sufficient pressure). This allows the motor and abrasive paper to operate at their most efficient speed. Excessive pressure causes the motor to slow down, preventing the abrasive from cutting effectively and causing the abrasive to prematurely wear out. When the motor is slowed by excessive pressure, the motor will quickly overheat and possibly cause motor damage in addition to producing an inferior workpiece surface. • Do not sand in one spot too long; the sander can easily remove too much material, producing an uneven surface. Use long sweeping strokes while sanding, gradually moving to progressively finer grit abrasive paper until the desired surface finish is achieved. •. Your sander’s lightweight and comfortable palm grip make it ideal for doing work overhead and on vertical surfaces. • With 3-sided flush sanding capability you’re able to sand in corners, cabinet interiors, box interiors, etc. When you are ready to change paper or are finished with a job, lift the sander away from the work surface, press the switch into the "O" (OFF) position, then unplug the sander to prevent inadvertently starting prior to tool storage. MAINTENANCE CLEANING Avoid using solvents 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, gasoline, petroleum- based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. -
