This sander is designed for single handed operation. Adopt a stable stance and make
sure that the mains cable is prevented from coming into contact with the machine or
getting caught up on other objects preventing completion of the sanding pass.

Where possible, secure smaller workpieces to prevent it from moving under the sander.

occur if too much pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting in inefficient sanding
and possible damage to the sander motor.
Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged sanding paper.
