Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. [. . . ] Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. , in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. The dust collection box shall be equipped with the tool. To connect dust collection box, insert the adaptor of dust box to the dust-collection opening on the rear end of the sander. WARNING Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire because materials in fine particle form may be explosive. WARNING A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while sanding lead paint, some woods and metal to avoid breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air.

DUST COLLECTION BOX The dust collection box attaches to the sander and keeps dust to a minimum. VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL (ESS280RG ONLY) 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 7, 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 work-piece's surface you will be using. Select clockwise to increase speed for rough surfaces or for quick removal of stock and anti-clockwise to decrease speed for the smaller, delicate sanding applications. WARNING Do not use sander without sandpaper, doing so will damage the cushion.

The dust collection box provides a dust collection system for the sander. [. . . ] Move the sander slowly across the workpiece using small circular motions. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure, so let the sanding disc and sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears sanding disc and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing possible damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior work. [. . . ]
