Sander Operation


WARNING: Let the tool work at its own pace. Do
not overload.
Grasp the sander and turn it ON. Move it in long, sweeping
strokes along the surface, letting it do the work. Pushing
down on the tool while sanding actually slows the removal
rate and produces an inferior quality finish.
Check your work often. This sander is capable of removing
material rapidly.

injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
