ELECTRICAL INFORMATION DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS The tool’s electrical system is double insulated where two systems of insulation are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
KNOW YOUR HANDHELD PLANER TOOL PURPOSE Remove putty, round sharp edges, and create an ultra-smooth surface with your WEN Detailing Palm Sander. Refer to the following diagrams to become familiarized with all the parts and controls of your palm sander. The compo- nents will be referred to later in the manual for assembly and operation instructions.
OPERATION TOOL SET UP WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental startups, turn switch OFF and remove the plug from the power source outlet before making any adjustments or when you are finished using the tool. 1. Before installing sandpaper, make sure the hook and loop base of the sander is free of dust and dirt and that the sander is unplugged with the ON/OFF switch in the OFF (O) position.
OPERATION SANDPAPER SELECTION Choosing the right grit and material of sandpaper maximizes the quality of your sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, sili- con carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding as natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet, are too soft for economical use in power sanding.
