OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

SANDPAPER PUNCH

To remove dust effectively from the work surface, the 1/4 sheet of sandpaper must have 
holes punched through the surface. A sandpaper punch is included with your 

 

sander. After attaching the sandpaper to the palm sander, align the sandpaper with the 
punch, and push down on the sandpaper until the punch has pierced the sandpaper. The 
sandpaper is now ready to use with the dust collection system on your sander. See FIG. 5.

ROCKER “ON/OFF” SWITCH 

To turn the tool “ON” or “OFF”, push in the switch rocker to the left or right side of the tool.

Be sure sander is “ON” and at full speed before beginning sanding operation. Remove the 
tool from the work surface before turning “OFF”.

SANDING 

Do not place excessive pressure on the sander. Excessive pressure on the sander may 
result in an uneven sanding job and can also cause overheating and possible damage to the 
motor.

Do not leave the tool sanding in one spot for an extended time, otherwise uneven sanding 
will result.
