DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual three-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect
the user from shock resulting from a break in the
tool's internal wiring. Observe all normal safety pre-
cautions to avoid electrical shock.
Important: Servicing of a tool with double insulation
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and
should be performed only by a qualified service
technician. For service, we suggest you return the tool to
your nearest authorized service center for repair. Always
use original factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRIC MOTOR
Your sander has a precision built electric motor. It
should be connected to a power supply that is 120
volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do
not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial
voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will
overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged
into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
FEATURES
SWITCH
Your sander has a conveniently located slide switch.
VARIABLE SPEED
The variable speed feature allows you to operate the
sander at different speeds.
BACKING PAD
The backing pad on the sander provides the capability to
use sanding discs with pressure sensitive adhesive
backing material.
CONVERSION PAD
The conversion pad supplied with the sander converts
the backing pad and allows you to use Velcro
®
type
sanding discs.
RANDOM ORBIT
The random orbit motion provides overlapping sanding
movements by combining orbital and turning motion.
These overlapping sanding movements provide fast
cutting action with excellent sanding results.
ERGONOMIC DESIGN
The design of the sander provides for easy handling. It
is designed for comfort and ease of grasp when operating
in different positions and at different angles.
