ORBITAL MOTION
Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when removing
old finishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to re-
quired dimensions, or for finishing surfaces to be painted.
As shown in figure 6, the sandpaper moves in tiny circles at
a very high speed, allowing the sander to move easily.
WARNING:
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings
such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc. can self-ignite
in your sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To
reduce the risk of fire always empty your dust bag fre-
quently while sanding and never store or leave a sander
without totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow the
recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.
USING THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
The dust bag assembly provides a dust collection system for
the sander. Dust is drawn up through holes in the sandpaper
and cushion and collected in the dust bag during sanding.
ATTACHING THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
See Figure 7.
To attach the dust bag assembly:
n Unplug the sander.
n Slide the dust bag assembly onto the blower exhaust on
the sander using a slight twisting motion.
CLEANING THE DUST BAG ASSEMBLY
See Figures 7 - 8.
For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is
no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through
the bag better.
To empty the dust bag:
n Unplug the sander.
n Remove the dust bag from the sander and shake out
dust.
n For a more thorough cleaning of the dust bag, remove
dust bag from the frame and shake out dust.
n Replace the dust bag over the frame, then reinstall on the
sander.
WARNING
Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings
such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite in
the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To re-
duce the risk of fire, always empty the dust bag frequently
(10-15 minutes) while sanding and never store or leave a
sander without totally emptying its dust bag. Also follow
the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.
