It has been designed so that fl ush corner sanding on three 
sides of the sander is possible.

Your sander has a comfortable palm grip handle that 
provides maximum one-hand comfort and reduces 
operator fatigue during continuous sanding operations.

Before using this product, familiarize yourself with all 
operating features and safety requirements. However, do 
not let familiarity with the tool make you careless.

SWITCH

Electronic speed control (ESS280RG only)

The electronic speed control allows the operator to adjust 
speed to meet a variety of sanding material from tough 
heavy grained timber to delicate veneer.

Both ESS200RG and ESS280RG are equipped with a 
simple switch control. To turn the sander "On", slide the 
switch to " I ". To turn the sander " Off ", slide the switch 
to "O".

 WARNING

Do not allow familiarity with your sander to make you 
careless. Remember, a careless fraction of a second is 
suffi cient to infl ict severe injury.

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 specifi c 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 
fl exibility 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.

Select clockwise to increase speed for rough surfaces or 
for quick removal of stock and anti-clockwise to decrease 
speed for smaller, delicate sanding applications.

ASSEMBLY

 WARNING

The tool should never be connected to a power supply 
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, 
cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is 
not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental 
starting that could cause serious injury.

SANDPAPER SELECTION

Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is 
an extremely important step in achieving a high quality 
sanded  fi 

nish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and 

other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. 
Natural abrasives, such as fl int and garnet are too soft for 
economical use in power sanding.

In general, coarse grit will remove the most material 
and  fi ner grit will produce the best fi nish 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. Medium grit may then be used to remove 
scratches left by the coarser grit and fi ner grit used for 
fi nishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with 
each grit until surface is uniform.

 WARNING

Do not use sander without sandpaper, doing so will 
damage the cushion.

ATTACHING THE DUST COLLECTION BOX

The dust collection box provides a dust collection system

of the sanding disc and collected in the dust collection box 
during sanding.

1.  Unplug the sander.
2.  Using a slight twisting motion, fi rmly slide the dust 

collection box assembly in the blower exhaust on the
