GENERAL USE OF
SANDER/POLISHER
• Set the Speed Control on the desired
speed
(FIG 5)
. (See charts in appropriate
sections).
• While holding the Sander/Polisher securely
in two hands, depress the Trigger Switch
with forefinger
(FIG 6)
.
NOTE:
The built-in Soft-Start feature will
cause a slight delay in motor starting and
gradually increase in speed. This feature is
designed to minimize splattering and fling-
ing of polishing compound.
• For extended use, the Trigger Switch can
be locked in the “ON” position. To lock the
Trigger Switch in the “ON” position, de-
press the Trigger Switch fully then push in
the Lock Button located above the Trigger
Switch on the left side of the Handle
(FIG 6)
. To release lock, depress the
Trigger Switch.

THUMBWHEEL SPEED NUMBER / RPM EQUIVALENCY
1
= 1000 RPM
2
= 1500 RPM
3
= 2100 RPM
4
= 2400 RPM
5
= 2700 RPM
6
= 3000 RPM
The Thumbwheel Speed Control is infinitely variable and actual RPM will vary widely
based on the actual position of the Thumbwheel and numerous factors such as
actual current input to tool, rotating mass weight of pad and disk, ambient operat-
ing temperature and degree of tool wear. As a result, the following figures are only
approximate:
