source, it is important to perform a test run to
make sure all the controls are working properly.

and adjustment instructions, and you have
read through the rest of the manual and
are familiar with the various functions and
safety issues associated with this machine.
Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious personal injury or even death!
To test run the sander:
1. Put on safety glasses and make sure any
bystanders are out of the way and also wear

ing safety glasses.
2. Flip the ON/OFF switch ON. Make sure
that your finger is poised over the

little or no vibration or rubbing noises. Strange
or unnatural noises should be investigated
