Failure to follow the safety instructions may result in serious personal injury. PALM SANDER SAFETY 1. Hold your power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces, especially when performing an operation where the accessory could contact hidden wiring. 2. Protect your lungs.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS The tool’s electrical system is double insulated where two systems of insulation are provided.

Make sure to take out all contents and accessories. Do not discard the packaging until everything is removed. Check the packing list below to make sure you have all of the parts and accessories.
OPERATION TOOL SET UP WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental startups, turn switch OFF and remove the plug from the power source outlet before making any adjustments or when you are finished using the tool. 1. Before installing sandpaper, make sure the hook and loop base of the sander is free of dust and dirt and that the sander is unplugged with the ON/OFF switch in the OFF (O) position. 2. The hook and loop base of the sander will hold any hook and loop sandpaper without clamps or glue.
OPERATION SANDPAPER SELECTION Choosing the right grit and material of sandpaper maximizes the quality of your sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding as natural abrasives, such as flint and garnet, are too soft for economical use in power sanding. In general, coarse grit (lower numbers) will remove the most material and finer grit (higher numbers) will produce the best finish in all sanding operations.
