The sander utilizes a hook-and-loop system for quick and easy sandpaper changes. Ensure the sanding disc is aligned properly with the base of the sander before pressing firmly to secure it.
2.2 Attaching Dust Collection Bag
To maintain a clean workspace, attach the dust collection bag to the sander's dust port. Align the grooves on the bag's canister with the tabs on the dust port and slide the canister into the port. Turn the canister clockwise to lock it in place. Ensure it is securely fastened before operation.
3. Operating Instructions

To turn the tool ON, hold it as shown in Figure 4 and push the portion of the switch marked "I". To turn the tool OFF, push the portion of the switch marked "O".

Grasp the sander firmly and turn it ON. Move it in long, sweeping strokes along the surface, letting the tool do the work. Applying downward pressure will slow the removal rate and may affect the finish quality. This sander is capable of removing material rapidly with minimal effort.
