Trigger "ON-OFF" Switch
To turn the tool "ON" squeeze the trigger
switch. To turn the tool "OFF", release the
trigger switch, which is spring loaded and
will return to the "OFF" position
automatically (Fig. 1).
See START OF SANDING on page 14.
"LOCK-ON" BUTTON
The "Lock-ON" button, located near the
trigger allows for continuous operation at
maximum OPM without holding the trigger
(Fig. 1).
TO LOCK TRIGGER "ON": squeeze trigger,
depress button and release trigger.
TO UNLOCK THE TRIGGER: squeeze trigger
and release it without depressing the "Lock-
ON" button.
If the “Lock-ON” button
is continuously being
depressed, the trigger can not be released.
VARIABLE SPEED WITH
DIAL SETTING
Your sander is also equipped with a variable
speed dial (Fig. 1). The sander's orbital pad
speed can be preset from zero to maximum
nameplate OPM by rotating the dial in the
housing. The dial may be set on or between
any of six positions (1=low through 6=high).
The following table may be used as a
general guide for abrasive and backing pad
selection, but the best results will be
obtained by sanding a test sample of the
workpiece first.
