The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
9036
Installing or removing abrasive paper (Fig. 1)
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the paper.
Press the clamper. Insert the paper end into the clamper,
aligning the paper edges even and parallel with the sides
of the base. Then release the clamper.
Repeat the same process for the other end of the base,
maintaining the proper paper tension.
CAUTION:
After inserting the paper, make sure the teeth of the
clamper hold it securely. Otherwise the paper will be
loose and subject to slippage, resulting in uneven sand-
ing operation.
Switch action (Fig. 2)
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the
switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF"
position when released.
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trig-
ger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and
then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the
locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.
Operation (Fig. 3)
Hold the tool firmly. Turn the tool on and wait until it
attains full speed. Then gently place the tool on the work-
piece surface. A finishing sander is generally used to
remove only a small amount of material at a time. Since
the quality of the surface is more important than the
amount of stock removed, do not bear down on the tool.
Keep the base flush with the workpiece at all times.
Excessive pressure may damage the paper and shorten
tool life.
You can put a high polish on furniture or other fine sur-
faces by using a cloth under the tool.
CAUTION:
• Do not block motor vent with your finger or hand.
• Never run the tool without paper. You may seriously
damage the pad.
When you wish to perform clean sanding operation, pro-
ceed as follows:
Place the punch plate (optional accessory) over the
paper so that the guide of the punch plate is flush with
the sides of the base. Then press the punch plate to
make holes in the paper. (Fig. 4)
Remove the cap from the dust spout on your tool and
connect a vacuum cleaner to your tool using a hose
(optional accessory). Be sure to read cleaner's instruc-
tion manual. (Fig. 5)
