Double insulation is a concept in safety in electric power
EXTENSION CORDS
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
a power source, be sure to use an extension cord that has the capacity to handle the current the product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in overheating and loss of power. Use the chart to .determine the minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.

SELECTING SANDPAPER
Selecting the correct size grit and type sandpaper is
If replacing adhesive sandpaper, remove old sandpaper by peeling it off cushion. If replacing regular sandpaper, release paper clamp by lifting up on paper clamp lever and disengaging it from the tab on the cushion. Remove non-adhesive sandpaper, then lift up on paper clamp lever and lock it into place. Carefully peel adhesive backing from new 1/4 sheet
sandpaper.
Position sandpaper, making sure front edge of sandpaper is aligned with front edge of the cushion, then carefully press sticky side of sandpaper on cushion.
"
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 left by the coarser grit and finer grit used for finishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with
each grit until surface is uniform. NOTE: To prevent damaging the cushion, DO NOT use sander without sandpaper installed.
NOTE: Sandpaper must be aligned with the front edge of the cushion for proper functioning of the flush sanding feature. ^, The cushion on the sander is approximately 1/4 in. smaller than precut adhesive-backed sanding sheets. If desired you may want to trim off the overhang of sandpaper on the back side of cushion. The cushion has been made smaller so that multiple sheets of nonadhesive sandpaper can be installed.
PAPER PUNCH
See Figure 4, page i.
INSTALLING SANDPAPER The cushion on the sander gives you the option of using
either non-adhesive sandpaper that clamps to the cushion or adhesive backed sandpaper with pressure sensitive adhesive backing that sticks to the cushion.
A paper punch template has been supplied with the sander. It should be used for aligning and punching holes in the sandpaper for alignment with the holes in the
cushion.
Punching the holes properly is a necessary step in order for the dustless feature of the sander to function properly. Install sandpaper on the sander. Align sander cushion to paper punch as shown by the icon on the paper punch template. Push down on sander.
DUSTLESS SANDING See Figure 5 - 6, page i.
release paper clamp by lifting up on paper clamp lever and disengaging it from the tab on the cushion. Insert end of new 1/4 sheet sandpaper approximately 1/2 inch under the paper clamp.
Lift up on paper clamp lever and lock into place. Apply
WARNING: Do not use the dust bag when sanding metal. Using the dust bag when sanding metal creates a fire hazard, which could damage the tool and lead to serious personal injury.
OPERATION
The dust bag provides a dust collection system for the
sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes in Hold the sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear of the workpiece. Start the sander by sliding the switch to the ON ( I ) position and letting the motor build to its maximum speed. Gradually lower the sander on the work with a slight forward movement. Move it slowly using forward and backward strokes. DO NOT FORCE. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure, so let the sanding sheet and sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears sandpaper and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor
the sandpaper and cushion and collects in the dust bag during sanding operation. For more efficient operation, empty dust bag when half full. DUSTLESS SANDING See Figure 5, page i. The dust bag assembly provides a dust collection system
for the sander. It can be installed by slipping the bag over
the dust exhaust with a twisting motion. To remove, pull dust bag from dust exhaust. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc to collect in the dust bag during sanding operation.
NOTE: For more efficient operation, empty dust bag
causing possible damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior work. Any finish on resin or wood
may soften from the frictional heat. Do not allow sanding on one spot too long as the sender's rapid action may remove too much material, making the surface uneven. Always lift the sander from workpiece before turning off. Flush sanding can be performed with the sander. The front edge of the sander allows flush sanding in corners. The two side edges can also be used when sanding in corners. Always remove sander from workpiece before turning the sander off.
when no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through the bag better. WARNING: Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite in the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce the risk of fire, always empty the dust bag frequently while
sanding. Never store or leave a sander without

MAINTENANCE
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Craftsman replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. WARNING: Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible serious injury. GENERAL MAINTENANCE Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc. WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommend using this product for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the product using compressed air. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this product are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required. POWER SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this must be done by an authorized service center in order to avoid a safety hazard. Only the parts shown on the parts list are intended to be repaired or replaced by the customer. All other parts should be replaced at a Sears Service Center. CLEANING DUST BAG ASSEMBLY See Figures 9-10, page i. - ,,-
WARNING: Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite in the sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire.

Also follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers. For more efficient operation, empty dust bag when no more than half full. This will permit the air to flow through the bag better. To empty the dust bag: Unplug the sander. Remove dust bag from sander. *"" Remove dust bag from frame, and shake out dust. Replace dust bag over frame then install dust bag on sander.
