The hook and loop backing pad allows you to quickly and 
easily attach sanding discs.

DUAL RANDOM ORBIT SELECTOR
The  random  orbit  motion  provides  overlapping  sanding 
movements  by  combining  orbital  and  turning  motion. 
These overlapping sanding movements provide fast cutting 
action with excellent sanding results.
DUST BAG
The dust bag attaches to the sander and keeps dust to a 
minimum.
ERGONOMIC DESIGN

of operation in different positions and at different angles.
FEATURES
INTEGRATED BRAKE PAD
The  integrated  brake  pad  prevents  pad  “overspin.”  This 
feature helps eliminate sanding scratches when you apply 
the sander to, or remove it from, a work surface.
LIGHTED PLUG
The lighted plug helps to easily identify live tools.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
The lock-on feature allows you to lock the switch trigger in 
the 
ON position. Locking the switch trigger on allows you to 
operate the sander for extended periods of time.
SOFT START
When a speed is selected with the variable speed dial and 
the sander is stopped and then reactivated, the sander will 
gradually ramp up to the previous speed setting once the 
switch trigger is pressed again.
VACUUM ADAPTOR
The vacuum adaptor allows you to connect to a 1-1/4 in. 
or 2-1/2 in. diameter vacuum hose to help keep the work 
area clean.
VARIABLE SPEED DIAL
The variable speed feature allows the sander to develop a 
no load speed that can be adjusted from 4,000 to 10,000 
orbits per minute by rotating the dial from 
A (slowest) to 
(fastest).
