4. Installing the sanding paper

Since the attachment is a hook-and-loop type, the

sanding paper can be installed easily by just press-

ing it onto the pad. When installing the sanding

paper, in order to match it to the holes in the pad,

gently fold it along the axis of two holes as shown

in Fig. 4.

Next, use the holes along the fold as a guide to

match the sanding paper and the pad. Finally, press

the entire sanding paper uniformly onto the pad.

5. Installing and removing the dust bag.

(1) Installation

As shown in Fig. 5, hold the dust gate and push

in the dust bag into the dust bag holder.

(2) Removal

As shown in Fig. 6, push the dust gate's tab hard

and remove the dust bag.

6. Removing and Installing the front knob

The front knob can be conveniently removed when

it gets in the way, such as when sanding in corners.

(1) Removal

As shown in Fig. 7, firmly press the front knob catch

and pull off the front knob in the direction of the

arrows.

(2) Installation

As shown in Fig. 8, match the upper part of the

front knob with the upper part of the front knob

contact area and push the front knob in the direc-

tion of the arrow.

7. Adjustment of speed (FSV13Y only)

The FSV13Y is equipped with the electric control

circuit which enables non-step speed control. To

adjust the speed, turn the dial shown in Fig. 9.

When the dial is set to “1”, the sander operates

at the minimum speed (6500/min). When the dial

set to “5”, the sander operates at the maximum

speed (11000/min). Adjust the speed according to

the material to be cut and working efficiency.

PRACTICAL OPERATING PROCEDURES

CAUTION

Never apply water or grinding fluid when sanding. This

could result in electrical shock.

1. How to hold the random orbit sander

Hold the handle and front knob and lightly press

the sander down so that the sanding paper uni-

formly touches the work surface. (Fig. 10)

The top of the housing can also be held with one

hand to control the sander. (Fig. 11)

CAUTION: When operating with one hand, make sure

not to cover the whole ventilation hole.

2. How to move the random orbit sander

Move the sander by either moving it up and down

or by moving it in circles while gradually progress-

ing in a sideways direction. (Figs. 12 and 13)

3. Turning on the sander

Place the sander on the work surface before turning

it on. Keep the sander in contact with the work

surface even after turning it off.

CAUTION

When idling, the pad may fly apart. Therefore, make

sure not to turn on the switch when the sander is

removed from the work surface, and do not operate

the sander when it is lifted up.

4. 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, efficient operation.

By pulling the trigger again, the stopper is released

and the switch is turned OFF.

5. Immediately after use: Warnings

⅜ Always turn the sander off and unplug it after your

work is done.

⅜ Since the sander may suck in dust and debris, be

careful not to place it where there is much dust

and debris when it is still spinning right after use.

By adjusting the dial, match the speed to the material and type of work.
