OPERATION
ATTACHING DUST
BAG
Disconnect sander from
power
supply.
1.
Place dust
bag support
(A)
into
notch
(B)
in
nozzle
(C)
as
shown
in
Fig.
1.
2.
Put
open end
of
dust bag over dust
bag support
and end
of
nozzle.
Make
sure
bag
is
over rim
on
nozzle
and
tie
draw
string
securely.
Note:
Empty
the
Dust
Bag
frequently
by
untying the
draw
string
and
shaking
out the bag.
A
large
amount
of
dust
or
heavy
coating
on
the inside
of
the
bag
will
slow
the
movement
of
the
air
carrying
the
dust
and
make
the
pick-up
lose
its
ef-
fectiveness.
Your
sander
is
equipped
with
its
own
built-in
auxiliary
handle
located
at
the
front of
the
unit.
This
handle allows
for
two-hand use which
will
aid
in
maintaining
complete
control
and keeping sanding
area
level
with
work
piece.

SANDPAPER
SELECTION
Selecting the correct
size
and
type
sandpaper
is
an
extremely important
step
in
achieving a high
quality
sanded
finish.
Aluminum
oxide, silicone
carbide
and
other synthetic abrasives
are best
for
power
san-
ding.
Other
natural abrasives,
such
as
flint
and
garnet
sandpaper
are
too
soft for
economical use
in
power
sanding.
In
general,
coarse
grit will
remove
the
most
material
and
finer
grit will
produce
best
finish
in
all
sanding
operations.
The
condition
of
the
surface
to
be sanded
will
determine which
grit
sandpaper
will
do
the
job.
If
the surface
is
rough,
start
with a
coarse
grit
paper sanding
until
surface
is
uniform.
Medium
grit
paper
may
then
be used
to
remove
scratches
left
by
the coarser
paper and
finer
grit
paper used
for
finishing
of
the surface.
Always
continue sanding
with
each
grit
paper
until
surface
is
uniform.
INSTALLING
SANDPAPER
(See
Fig.
3)
Disconnect
Sander from power
supply.
1.
Pull
on
the
dust
skirt at
points
(D)
and
(E)
to
remove
top
edge
of
skirt
from groove
in
sander.
2.
Pull
skirt
at
point
(C)
and
lift
it
up
to
remove
from
groove.
3.
After
skirt
has been
removed from
groove
slide
it
up on sander
to
expose sandpaper
retainer (A)
4.
Raise
sandpaper
retainer (A)
with
lever
(B).
5.
Insert
end
of
sandpaper
approximately
Vi
inch
beyond
front
edge
of retainer.
6.
Release
retainer
and
apply
downward
pressure
to
conform sandpaper
to platen.
7.
Wrap
sandpaper
around
cushion,
raise
the
retainer
on
the
opposite
end
of
sander and
insert
loose
end
of
sandpaper
under
retainer.
Fit
sandpaper
against
cushion as
tight
as
possible.
8.
Release
sandpaper
retainer
and
again
apply
downward
pressure
to
form
the
sandpaper.
9.
Replace
the
dust
skirt
in its
original position.
MOTION
SELECTION
The
dual
motion
feature
of
your sander
with
its
readily
accessible
slide
lever
for
quick
motion
setting
provides required
motion
for
any sanding
application.
If
your
particular
requirement
is
fast
cutting action
for
removing
old finishes,
smoothing
rough
wood,
cutting
stock
down
to
required
dimensions
or
for
sanding
of
surfaces
to
be
painted,
orbital
motion
is
best
suited.
For
fine finish
sanding
on work
to
be
stained
or
varnished
and
for
use
with
polishing pad,
straight
line
motion
is
ideal.
SETTING
MOTION
Disconnect sander from
power
supply.
1.
Do
not
change motion
setting
while
unit
is
operating.
2.
For
orbital
motion
slide lever (A)
toward
the
O
mark on
platen
as
far
as
possible.
See
Figure
4.
3.
For
straight
line
motion
slide lever (A)
toward
the
—
mark on
platen
as
far
as
possible.
