PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specifi ed on the product
nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position. If
the plug is connected to a receptacle while the power
switch is in the ON position, the power tool will start
operating immediately, inviting a serious accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power source,
use an extension cord of suffi cient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as
practicable.
4. Installing the sanding paper
(1) Removing the dust cover: (FS10SB)
While slightly opening the dust cover front, raise the
dust cover front as shown in Fig. 1. Disengage the dust
cover rear from the body as shown in Fig. 2. The dust
cover is removed.
(2) Mounting the sanding paper:
Insert the sanding paper while unfastening the spring
as shown in Fig. 3. Align the sanding paper in parallel
with the pad and pull it tight.
Should the sanding paper be loosely mounted, the
fi nishing will become uneven or the sanding paper may
be damaged.

PRACTICAL OPERATING PROCEDURES
CAUTION
Never apply water or grinding fl uid when sanding. This
could result in electrical shock.
1. Switching the sander ON and OFF
By pulling the trigger and pushing the stopper, the
switch will remain ON even when the trigger is released,
promoting continuous, effi cient operation. By pulling
the trigger again, the stopper is released and the switch
is turned OFF.
CAUTION
Never turn the power switch ON when the sander is
contacting the surface to be sanded. This is necessary
to preclude damage to the material. The same applies
when switching the power OFF.
2. How to hold the orbital sander
While gripping the knob with one hand and the handle
with the other, lightly press the sander against the
surface to be sanded so that the sanding paper
uniformly contacts the surface. DO NOT apply
excessive pressure to the sander while sanding.
Excessive pressure may cause overload of the motor,
reduced service life of the sanding paper, and lower
sanding or polishing effi ciency. Also, while sanding or
polishing, never cover the ventilation port on the upper
motor housing. This could cause overheating and
subsequent damage to the tool.
3. How to move the orbital sander
For optimum operating effi ciency, alternately move the
sander forward and backward at a constant speed and
balance.
4. After installing new sanding paper
Movement of the sander may tend to become unsteady
after new sanding paper has been installed, because of
the new, coarse grain of the paper. This can be avoided
by slightly tilting the sander forward or backward during
sanding or polishing. Sander movement will become
steady as the sanding paper surface becomes properly
abraded.
