APPLICATIONS
You may use this product for the purposes listed below:
 Sanding on wood surfaces
 Removing rust from and sanding metal surfaces
SANDPAPER SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an
extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded
finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic
abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives,
such as flint and garnet are too soft for economical use in
power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer
grit will produce the best finish 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
finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue
sanding with each grit until surface is uniform.
NOTE: DO NOT use sander without sandpaper. Doing so
will damage the cushion.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to let your hand completely cover air vents.

OPERATION

INSTALLING SANDPAPER
The cushion on the sander gives you the option of using
either non-adhesive sandpaper that clamps to the cushion
or adhesive backed sandpaper with pressure sensitive ad-
hesive backing that sticks to the cushion.
INSTALLING NON-ADHESIVE SANDPAPER
See Figure 2, page 12.
 Unplug the sander.
 Inspect sandpaper before installing. Do not use if broken
or defective.
 If replacing adhesive sandpaper, remove old sandpaper
by peeling it off cushion. If replacing non-adhesive sand-
paper, release paper clamp by lifting up on paper clamp
lever and disengaging it from the tab on the cushion.
 Insert end of new 1/4 sheet sandpaper approximately 1/2
in. under the paper clamp.
 Lift up on paper clamp lever and lock into place. Apply
downward pressure to conform sandpaper to cushion.
 Wrap sandpaper around cushion. Lift lever on opposite
end of sander and insert loose end of sandpaper under
the paper clamp. Fit sandpaper against cushion as tight
as possible.
 Lift up on paper clamp lever and lock into place.
INSTALLING ADHESIVE SANDPAPER
See Figure 3, page 12.
 Unplug the sander.
 If replacing adhesive sandpaper, remove old sandpaper
by peeling it off cushion.
 If replacing non-adhesive sandpaper, then lift up on paper
clamp lever and lock it into place.
 Carefully peel adhesive backing from new 1/4 sheet
sandpaper.
 Position sandpaper, making sure front edge of sandpaper
is aligned with front edge of the cushion, then carefully
press sticky side of sandpaper on cushion.
NOTE: Sandpaper must be aligned with the front edge
of the cushion for proper functioning of the flush sand-
ing feature.
The cushion on the sander is approximately 1/4 in. smaller
than precut adhesive-backed sanding sheets. If desired you
may want to trim off the overhang of sandpaper on the back
side of cushion. The cushion has been made smaller so that
multiple sheets of non-adhesive sandpaper can be installed.
