Rules for Safe Operation

Know your power tool. Read operator's manual
carefully. Leam its applications and limitations as
well as the specific potential hazards related to this
tool.

• Always wear safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they
are not safety glasses.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tools operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

Your sander is suitable for _sandingwith coarse medium,
and fine grit sandpaper. It will produce a fine scratch free
finish when used to sand with the grain on wood surfaces.
By purchasing optional accessories, it can also be used as
a polisher or scraper.

wARNING:
The double insulated system 'is
' "
intended to protect the user from shock resulting from
a break in the toors intemal wiring. Observe all
normal safety precautions related to avoiding
electrical shock.

Before attempting to use your sander, familiarize
yourselfwlth all operating features and safety
requirements.

The oscillating motion sands 2.0 mm arcs, providing fast
cutting action with excellent sanding results. As the name
implies, this tool has been designed primarily for detailed
and intricate sanding. For example, refinishing fumiture,
chairs, etc., enabling you to sand in places that are hard to
get to.

DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a concept in safety, in electric power
tools, which eliminates the need for the usual throe-wire
grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need
to be grounded.

SWITCH
This tool is equipped with a simple switch control. To tum
your sander ON, deprsss the switch button as shown in
Figure 1. Depress the switch button in the opposite
direction to turn your sander OFF.

IMPOR'I:ANT
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should be
performed only by a qualified service technician. For
service we suggest you return the tool to your nearest
Sears Store for repair. Always use original factory
replacement parts when servicing.

Your sander has a precision built electdc motor. It should
be connected to a power supply that Is 120 volts, 60 Hz,
AC only (normal household current). Do not operate
this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial voltage drop
will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If
your tool does not operate when plugged into an outlet,
double-check the power supply.

WARNING:
Your sander should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, assembling or replacing sandpaper, cleaning, or when not in use. Disconnecting your sander will
prevent accidental starting that could cause sedous personal injury.

WARNING:
Before connecting your sander to
power supply source, always check to be sure
switch is not in ON position. Failure to do so could
result in accidental starting of your sander resulting
in possible serious injury.

_,

WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your
sander to make you careless. Remember that a
careless fraction of a second is sufficient to inflict
severe injury.

WARNING:
Never use your detail sander for wet
sanding or liquid polishing. Failure to comply can
result in electrical shock causing sedous injury or
worse.

WARNING:
The operation of any sander can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes, which can
result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear safety goggles or
safety glasses with side shields and a full face shield when needed. We recommend Wide Vision
Safety Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses with side shields, available at Sears
Retail Stores.

SANDING
See Figures 3 and 4.
Hold sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear of
the workpiece. Start sander and let the motor build to its
maximum speed, then gradually lower on the work with a
slight forward movement. Move it slowly over workpiece
:
using forward and backward or side to side strokes. Upon
completion of sanding operation, always remove sander
from workpiece before turning it off.
Do not force. The weight of the unit supplies adequate
pressure, so let the sandpaper and sander do the work.
Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly
wears sandpaper and greatly reduces sander speed.
Excessive pressure will ovedoad the motor causing
possible damage from motor overheating and can result in
inferior work. Any finish or resin on wood may soften from
the fdctional heat. Do not allow sanding on one spot too
long as sander's rapid action may remove too much
matsdal, making the surface uneven.

Fig. 4
SANDPAPER

SELECTION

Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is an
extremely important step in achieving a high quality
sanded finish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other
synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural
abrasives, such as flint and garnet are too soft for
economical use in power sanding.
In general, coarse gdt will remove the most metedal and
finer grit will produce the best finish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will
determine which grit will do the job. If the surface is rough,
start with a coarse gdt and sand until the surface is
uniform. Medium gdt may then be used to remove
scratches left by the coarser grit and finer gdt used for
finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with
each grit until surface is uniform.

&

WARNING:
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry
when operating sander. They could get caught in
moving parts causing sedous injury. Keep head away
from sander and sanding area. Hair could be drawn
into sander causing sedous injury.

LUBRICATION

Fig. 3

All of the beadngs in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubdcation is required.

GENERAL
Only the parts shown on parts list, page eleven, are
intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All
other pads represent an important part of the double
insulation system and should be serviced only by a
qualified Sears service technician.

A wire gage size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is recommended
for an extension cord 100 feet or less in length. When
working outdoors, use an extension cord that is suitable for
outdoor use. The cord's jacket will be marked WA.
_i,

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
,_.

CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from any
sanding area and position the cord so that it will not
get caught on lumber, tools, etc., during sanding
operation.

_1, WARNING:
Check extension cords before each
m
use. If damaged replace immediately. Never use tool
with a damaged cord since touchir_gthe damaged
area could cause electrical shock resulting in sedous
injury.

WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating
oils, etc. come in contact with plastic parts. They
contain chemicals that can damage, weaken, or
destroy plastic.

When electric tools are used on fiberglass boats, sports
cars, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster, it has
been found that they are subject to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure, as the fiberglass chips and
grindings are highly abrasive to beadngs, brushes,
commutators, etc. Consequently it is not recommended
that this tool be used for extended work on any fiberglass
material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster.
During any use on these materials, it is extremely
important that the tool is cleaned frequently by blowing
