Troubleshooting
Sander not starting
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working outlet. Check if the power switch is in the 'off' position before plugging in.
Sanding paper not sticking
Verify that the sander's pad and the back of the sanding paper are clean and free of debris. Ensure you are using genuine Hook & Loop (Velcro) compatible sandpaper.
