Triangular detail pad for detail sanding. The hook and loop design allows for quick change of sanding sheets and different pads. It also enables you to easily clean and reuse them. CIRCULAR SANDING ACTION The oscillating action of your sander produces very quick, small circular motion of the sanding pad. The motion is ideal for producing a fine finished grain. DUST COLLECTION BOX The dust collection box attaches to the sander and keeps dust to a minimum. Your sander has advanced electronic features, designed to assist you in getting the maximum use from your sander. By making proper speed selections, your sander can be adjusted to specific sanding needs. The variable speed control allows the sander to develop a no-load speed that can be adjusted from 6, 000 to 12, 000 min-1. The variable speed control selector is conveniently located on the front of the sander. The electronic feature of your sander introduces the flexibility of adjusting the motor speed to required job conditions. An electronic speed control module senses the load applied to the motor and increases or decreases motor voltage to compensate for and maintain desired RPM. Speed can be set according to the sanding purpose or the surface of the workpiece you will be using. Increase speed for rough surfaces or for quick removal of stock and decrease speed for smaller, delicate sanding applications. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding. In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. [. . . ] Lower the finger pad and lock it in place. Close the finger pad cover. CAUTION Remove the sanding sheet when not in use to prevent warping. INSTALLING SANDPAPER Inspect sandpaper before installing. Do not use if broken or defective. 5 English LIVE TOOL INDICATOR This tool features a live tool indicator which illuminates as soon as the tool is connected to the supply.
