Safety Instructions For Power Tools  
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.  
Keep tools sharp and clean for  
best and safest performance.  
Follow instructions for lubricating  
and changing accessories.  
9. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD  
for the tool. Make sure your exten-  
sion cord is in good condition.  
Conductor size should be in accor-  
dance with the chart below. The  
amperage rating should be listed on  
the motor or tool nameplate. An  
undersized cord will cause a drop in  
line voltage resulting in loss of power  
and overheating. Your extension  
cord must also contain a ground wire  
and plug pin. Always repair or  
replace extension cords if they  
become damaged.  
15. DISCONNECT TOOLS before ser-  
vicing and changing accessories,  
such as blades, bits, cutters, and  
the like.  
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNIN-  
TENTIONAL STARTING. Make  
sure switch is in off position before  
plugging in.  
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCES-  
SORIES. Consult the owner’s  
manual for recommended acces-  
sories. The use of improper acces-  
sories may cause risk of injury.

18. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS.  
Before further use of the tool, a  
guard or other part that is dam-  
aged should be carefully checked  
to determine that it will operate  
properly and perform its intended  
function. Check for alignment of  
moving parts, binding of moving  
parts, breakage of parts, mount-  
ing, and any other conditions that  
may affect its operation. A guard or  
other part that is damaged should  
be properly repaired or replaced.

wear loose clothing, gloves, neck-  
ties, rings, bracelets, or other jewel-  
ry which may get caught in moving  
parts. Non-slip footwear is recom-  
mended. Wear protective hair cover-  
ing to contain long hair.  
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.  
Also use face or dust mask if cutting  
operation is dusty. Everyday eye-  
glasses only have impact resistant  
lenses, they are NOT safety glass-  
es.  
No list of safety guidelines can be  
complete. Every shop environment  
is different. Always consider safety  
first, as it applies to your individual  
working conditions. Use this and  
other machinery with caution and  
respect. Failure to do so could result  
in serious personal injury, damage  
to equipment or poor work results.  
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a  
vise to hold work when practical. It’s  
safer than using your hand and frees  
both hands to operate tool.  
13. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep proper  
footing and balance at all times.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS  
Attaching Abrasives  
Getting Started  
Abrasive sheets are easily attached with  
the hook-and-loop system on the pad of  
your G9910 sander. Fit the sheet over the  
pad so that it covers the entire area, push  
and slightly twist to make sure the coated  
abrasive sheet is snug on the pad. Make  
sure you don’t cover the suction holes.  
After making sure the power source  
matches the specifications on the sander  
label, plug in sander. Pull the trigger  
switch to turn it on, and release the switch  
to turn the sander off. When you first turn  
it on, make sure that your finger remains  
on the switch so you can STOP the  
sander in case there’s a problem. The  
sander should run smoothly. Strange or  
unnatural noises should be investigated  
and corrected before operating the  
machine further.  
Remove abrasive sheets by pinching an  
edge and peeling off.  
Using the Sander  
Starting with the coarsest grit you have  
determined to be sufficient for the job,  
sand the work evenly, in the same direc-  
tion as the grain of the wood. Always keep  
the machine moving so the finish of your  
work stays consistent. If you stay in one  
place too long, then the sander may pro-  
duce a depression in the wood that will  
compromise your finish.  
Speed selection can be adjusted from the  
dial on the On/Off switch. The label on the  
switch indicates the direction needed to  
increase or decrease speed.  
Selecting Abrasives  
The best results from your G9910 Hook &  
Loop Sander/Poisher will be accom-  
plished using the proper grit of coated  
abrasive. As a rule, you will want to start  
with a more coarse paper for removing  
large defects or rough spots, then work  
through finer grits one or two grades at a  
time until you achieve the smoothness  
and quality you desire.  
Sanding across the grain of the wood may  
be necessary in some cases to remove  
rough defects. This should be done with  
caution however, because it can produce  
cross-grain scratching that will require fur-  
ther sanding to remove.  
Change abrasive sheets as soon as the  
grit becomes dull. You will recognize this  
when the sander seems to slide across the  
work without any “bite.”  
Any time you are unsure about which grit  
to begin with, experiment in a small corner  
or area that isn’t very noticeable on your  
project. Ideally, you want to achieve the  
balance of removing defects without dam-  
aging your work.  
Never apply excessive force while sand-  
ing. Your sander will last longer if you let  
“it” do the work. Using a slight pressure  
barely greater than the weight of the  
machine is ideal because you can still  
maintain control while obtaining a fine fin-  
ish.  
ALUMINUM OXIDE and SILICON CAR-  
BIDE abrasives are an excellent choice  
because they last longer and are sharper  
than natural abrasives.

MAINTENANCE  
General  
Repair and Service  
Regular periodic maintenance on your  
Model G9910 Hook Loop  
All quality tools will eventually wear from  
normal use. Since sander is encased in a  
double insulated plastic cover, leave repair  
and service issues to a qualified service  
technician. This includes brush replace-  
ment, lubrication or any other internal  
operation.  
&
Sander/Polisher will ensure its optimum  
performance. Make a habit of inspecting  
your sander each time you use it. Check  
for the following conditions and repair or  
replace when necessary:  
1. Loose fasteners.  
2. Worn switch.  
3. Worn or damaged cords and  
plugs.  
4. Worn or damaged rubber backing  
pad or abrasive sheet.  
5. Any other condition that could  
hamper the safe operation of this  
machine.  
You can replace the rubber backing pad  
that holds the abrasive sheets if it  
becomes worn. Simply remove the four  
screws that hold backing plate to the body  
of the sander and replace with a new rub-  
ber backing piece, installing the reverse of  
removal. Always make sure you re-tighten  
the rubber backing screws sufficiently  
enough, so you don’t have problems when  
you resume operations.  
Keeping Tool Clean  
Your G9910 Rotary Sander will give you  
years of trouble free service if you keep it  
clean and free of built-up dust or grime.  
Ensure that no air passages get blocked. If  
they do, blow them out with compressed  
air. WARNING: Wear safety glasses when  
cleaning tool with compressed air.  
Disassembly and improper reassem-  
bly of this device can result in elec-  
trical shock danger. Always have this  
device serviced by a qualified electri-  
cal repair technician. Serious injury  
will result.  
Plastic parts can easily be cleaned with a  
damp cloth, but never use water to clean  
any electrical parts. Solvents should also  
be avoided on plastic because of the pos-  
siblity of damage.  
If possible use a scraper to remove glue or  
sap from your work; these elements may  
hinder the effectiveness of the abrasive  
sheets and cause unnecessary build-up of  
grime on the sander.
