OperAting instructiOns
note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to
the Assembly diagram on page 12.
cAutiOn: Always make sure the Power Cord (26) of the Sander is unplugged from
its electrical outlet prior to making any adjustments to the tool.
Clamp your workpiece down, or insert it in a vise. Make sure the object you are
sanding does not have any nails or metal of any kind in it, or you will ruin the sand-
paper and damage the Backing Pad (22).
After donning the appropriate safety gear covered on page 2 of this manual, plug
in the Sander.
Turn on the Palm Sander by turning on the Switch (3).
Always run the Palm Sander for a few seconds before contacting the workpiece.
Contact the workpiece with minimal pressure. If the Palm Sander is not removing
enough material, try a grittier piece of sandpaper. If you want to remove a lot of
material fast, use a belt sander.
note: All orbital sanders leave sanding marks on the workpiece. To minimize sanding
marks, slowly move the Palm Sander while it is touching the item you are sand-
ing.
Occasionally stop the Palm Sander and visually check the sandpaper for tears,
wear, or fraying. Replace if necessary.
When you are finished sanding, turn off the Switch (3).
