Your sander is suitable for sanding with coarse, medium and fine grit sandpaper. It will produce a fine, scratch-free finish when used to sand with the grain on wood surfaces. It has been designed so that flush corner sanding on three sides of the sander is possible. Your sander has a comfortable palm grip handle that provides maximum one-hand comfort and reduces operator fatigue during continuous sanding operations. Before using this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. However, do not let familiarity with the tool make you careless. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until surface is uniform. WARNING Do not use sander without sandpaper; doing so will damage the cushion.

Align holes in hook and loop type sanding disc with holes in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding disc against pad as tightly as possible. NOTE: Hook and loop type sanding discs can be reused for the life of the sanding abrasive. It is recommended that you keep the sanding disc backing pad clean to provide for best adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with a small brush. ATTACHING THE DUST COLLECTION BOX See Figure 3. The dust collection box 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 collection box during sanding. [. . . ] The punched holes must align with the holes in the sander cushion. Align sander cushion over the paper punch. ORBITAL MOTION Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when removing old finishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to required dimensions or for finishing surfaces to be painted. The sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a very high speed, allowing the sander to move easily. [. . . ]
