CIRCULAR SANDING ACTION

Your sander uses very quick, small circular motions to
remove material. The motion is ideal for producing a fine
finished grain or, when using the scrubbing pad, removing
light rust, paint and other build up from the work surface.

WARNING:

Do not allow familiarity with your sander to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.

APPLICATIONS

(USE ONLY FOR THE PURPOSES LISTED BELOW)

■

Sanding on wood surfaces.

■

Removing rust from and sanding steel surfaces.

■

Polishing and scrubbing metal and tile.

CAUTION:

Keep the cord away from the sanding area and position
it so that it will not be caught on lumber, tools, or other
objects during sanding.

KNOW YOUR SANDER

See Figure 1.

Before attempting to use your sander, familiarize yourself
with all operating features and safety requirements.
