ADJUSTING THE SPEED

See Figures 4 - 5.

The variable speed feature allows the sander to operate at 
speeds that can be adjusted by rotating the dial from A to 
F. The dial is conveniently located on the motor housing, 
allowing operator control of disc speed.

n

  To increase the speed: Turn the dial to a higher setting 

(towards F).

n

  To decrease the speed: Turn the dial to a lower setting 

(towards A).

WARNING:

To prevent the possibility of sanding dust or foreign objects 
being thrown into the face or eyes, never attempt to use 
the sander without the dust bag properly installed. Sanding 
dust or foreign objects being thrown into the face could 
result in possible serious personal injury.

DUSTLESS SANDING

The dust bag assembly provides a dust collection system 
for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes 
of the sanding disc to collect in the dust bag during sanding 
operation.

NOTE:

 For more efficient operation, empty dust bag when 

no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through 
the bag better.
