NOTE: To determine the orbit of the sander, rotate the backing pad counterclockwise with your hand and look down on the sander from directly above the motor housing. If you can see the red backing pad top, the orbit is 1/4 in. If you cannot see the red backing pad top, the orbit is 1/8 in. - Page 12 ATTACHING THE DUST BAG See Figure 6. The dust bag provides a dust collection system for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc and collected in the dust bag during sanding. To attach the dust bag: Unplug the sander.
