below may result in eiectdc shock,fire and/or
sedous personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Work Area
•Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
benches and dark areas invite accidents.
•Do not operate power tools in explosive etmo-
spherss, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools may create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
•Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
•Double insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only
one way, If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact e qualified electrician to install e polar-
ized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way,
Double insulation [] eliminates the need for the
three-wire grounded power cord and grounded
power supply system.
•Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigera.
tore. There is an increased dsk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
•Don't expose power tools to rain orwet condi-
tions, Water entedng a power tool will increase the
dsk of electric shock.
•Do not abuse the cord, Never use the cord to
carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet,
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts, Replace damaged cords immedi-
ately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
•When operating a power tool outside, use an
outdoor extension cord marked "W-A" or "W'.
These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce
the risk of electric shock,
Personal Safety
•Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury,
•Dress propedy. Do not wear loose clothing or
jeweky. Contain long hair, Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
•Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before plugging in, CarTying tools with your finger
on the switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
•Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
tuming the tool on, Awrench or a key that is left
attached to arotating part of the tool may result in
personal injury.

conditions.
Tool Use and Care
•Use clamps or other practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•Do not force tool. Use the correct tool foryour
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
•Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from power soume before
making any adjustments, changing accesso-
dee, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
accidentally,
•Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
other untrained persons, Tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
•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 miselignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that may affect the tool's operation, If
damaged, have the tool sewiced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poody maintained

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your sandedpelisher has a precision built electric 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,

SANDING DISC SELECTION
Selecting the correct size grit and type sanding disc 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 grit will remove the most material
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 grit and sand until the surface
is uniform, Medium grit may then be used to remove
scratches lef_ by the coarser grit and finer gdt used for
finishing of the surface.
Always use the proper grit sanding disc, and not extra
pressure when sanding. Continue sanding with each
grit until surface is uniform.
INSTALLING OPTIONAL SANDING DISC
See Figure 4.
•Unplug your sanderlpolisher.
_1= WARN ING: Failureto unplug your sander/polisher

APPLICATIONS
(Use only for the purposes listed below)
•Sanding on wood surfaces.
•Removing rust from and sanding steel surfaces.
•Polishing and buffing.
,_ WARNING: Before connectingyour sander/
polisherto power supplysource,always check
to be sure switchis not in "lock-on" position.
Failure to do so couldresult in accidental
startingof your sander/polisherresulting in
possibleseriousinjury.
PREPARINGFOROPERATION
For ease of operation, this tool has a front aL_iliary
handle and mar handle. See Ffgure 1. This provides
for two-hand operation, which is necessary in order to
maintain proper control and keep both hands clear of
the sanding disc and sanding area, When operating
your sander/polisher, always use both hands. Check
the auxiliary handle before each use and make sure
the handle bolt is tight against the housing.
SANDING
Clamp or otherwise secure the work to prevent it from
moving under your sander/polisher, Secure small
workpieces in avise or use clamps to secure them to
a workbench.
_, WARNING: Unsecured workcould be thrown
towards the operator causing injury.
Hold the tool in front and away from you, keeping it
clear of the workpiece. Start the tool by depressing the
switch trigger and letting the motor build to its maxi-
mum speed. Gradually lower sander/polisher to the
workpiece at a slight 5° to 8°angle. See Figure 5.
DO NOT A'n'EMPT TO HOLD THE SANDING DISC
FLAT ON THE WORKPIECE.
Always keep the tool in motion moving over the work,
allowing it to operate freely without unnecessary
pressure. The weight of the unit supplies adequate
pressure, so let the sanding disc and sander do the
work. Applying additional pressure only slows the
motor, rapidly wears sanding discs and greatly re-
duces 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 frictional heat.
Do not allow sanding on one spot too long. Sand-
ing in one spot too long will cause uneven sanding and
gouging of the work.
_.WARNING: Keep a firm grip onthe tool with
both hands at all times. Failure to do so could
result in lossof controlleading to possible
sedous injury.
Upon completion of asanding operation, lift tool
away from work surface before turning off.
_I, WARNING: Sanding disc must come to a
complete stop before setting tool down on
workbench. Failure to do so can cause the tool to
be thrown from workbench because of sanding
disc ro_ation, This could result in damage to the
tool or possible sedous injury to the operator.
_1=WARNING:Donotwear loose clothing or
jewelry when operating this tool, They could get
caught in moving parts causing sehous injury.
Keep head away from sender/polisher and
sanding or polishing area. Hair could be drawn
into sender/polisher causing serious injury,
INSTALLING POLISHING BONNETS
See Figure 6.
• Unplug your sander/polisher,
_IL WARNING: Failure to unplugyour sender/
polisher could result in accidentalstarting
causing possiblesedous personal injury.
• if you have been using this tool as a sender,
remove spanner nut and sanding disc,
•Slip polishing bonnet over rubber disc, pull string
ends tight, and tie in a bow to secure bonnet.
•Tuck stnng ends and bow underneath bonnet.
_. WARNING: Failure to tuck string ends and
bow underneath bonnet could result in string
ends coming loose and hitting or grabbing
foreign objects,
POLISHING
See Figure
FOR BEST RESULTS, ALWAYS OPERATE AT LOW
SPEED WHEN POLISHING.
Hold the tool firmly, allowingit to operate freely without
unnecessary pressure. This tool was designed so that
the weight of the tool alone will provide adequate
pressurefor polishing at top efficiency.
BONNETS MUST BE KEPT CLEAN AND FREE
FROM GRIT, DIRT, AND OTHER ABRASIVE PAR-
TICLES.
When bonnets become dirty and clogged with polish-
ing film, wash in lukewarm water with a mild detergent.
Allow bonnets to dry throughly before reuse. Polish
with a long sweeping motion, back and forth, advanc-
ing along the surface to be polished. Do not hold the
tool in one spot or use a circular or spiral pattern. This
will cause swids in the finish. Spread a light coat of
polish or wax over a small area. Polish with the tool
according to the manufacturer's instructions printed on
the label of the polish or wax container.
Note; Some polishes should be buffed while damp
where others must be allowed to dry; therefore always
check the manufacturer's label.
Tilt the tool so that the polishing bonnet is at a slight
angle to the work surface, Always start polishing at the
top or highest point and work down. This will prevent
light dust or polish film from being thrown upon com-
pleted section, It also eliminates pulling the tool's

power cord over sections already polished, particularly
on automobiles.
Surfaces that have an old film of wax or polish, or that
have not been polished or waxed for an extended period
of time, may require a second application. This is espe-
cially true on oxidized surfaces. Heavily oxidized sur-
faces should be cleaned with a commercial paste or
liquid cleaner before polishing or waxing.
10
_k WARNING: Check polishing bonnetsbefore
each use. Make sure they are clean and free
from any loose particlesor foreign objectsthat
may be embedded inthe bonnet. Failure to do so
couldcause these particlesor objectsto be
thrown fromthe tool resultingin possible serious
injury,
DOUBLE INSULATION is a safety concept in electric
power tools, which eliminates the need for the usual
three wire grounded power cord and grounded supply
system. Wherever there is electric current in the tool
there are two complete sets of insulation to protect the
user. All exposed metal parts are isolated from internal
metal motor components with protecting insulation
IMPORTANT -- Servicing of a tool with double
insulation requires extreme care and knowledge of the
system and should be performed only by a qualified
service tecnhician. For service we suggest you re(urn
the tool to your nearest Sears Store for repair. Always
use original factory replacement parts when servicing,
A WARNING: When servicing use only identical
Craftsman replacement parts, Use of any other
parts may create a hazard or cause product
damage.
GENERAL
Only the parts shown on parts list, page 13, are
intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer.
All other parts represent an Jmpprtant part of the
double insulation system and should be serviced only
by a qualified Sears service technician.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to vadous types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean
cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
WARNING: Do notat any time let brakefluids,
,_k gaseline, petroleum-based products,penetrating
oils, etc, come in contact with plastic parts, They
containchemicals 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 bearings, 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 with an
air jet.
,_ WARNING; Always wear safety goggles, or
safety glasses with side shields during power
tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation
is dusty, also weara dust mask.
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extensioncordwill cause some lossof
power.To keep the lossto a minimumandto prevent
tool overheating,use an extensioncord that is heavy
enoughto cany the currentthe tool will drew.
Awire gauge size (A.W.G.) of at least 16 is
recommendedforan extensioncord 100 feet or less in
length. When workingoutdoors,use an extensioncord
that is suitablefor outdooruse. The cord'sjacketwill
be markedWA.
A CAUTION: Keep extension cords away from
the sandingarea and position the cord so that it
will notget caughton lumber, tools,etc., during
sandingor polishingoperation,
_k WARNING: Check extensioncords before
each use. If damaged replace immediately.
Never use tool with a damaged cord since
touchingthe damaged area could cause
electricalshockresulting in serious injury,
