motor causing possible damage from overheating and can
result in inferior work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften
from the frictional heat. Do not sand on one spot too long
as the sander’s rapid action may remove too much material,
making the surface uneven.
Extended periods of sanding may overheat the motor. If this
occurs, turn the sander off and wait until the sanding sheet
comes to a complete stop. Remove sander from workpiece.
Remove sanding disc, then turn sander on and run it free
