Questions & Answers
Does this sander have soft start? I understand I can lower the RPM, question is about soft start.

Is it good to use to remove flaking paint on siding?
Thank you for your question. The BO5041 random orbit sander is intended for the sanding of large surfaces of wood, plastic, and metal materials as well as painted surfaces.
can this be used as a wet sander
Thank you for your question on the BO5041 orbital sander. No, please do not expose the tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
What is the weight of just the sander with dust bag?
Thank you for your question. The BO5041 weights 3.5 LBS.
Can the 5 inch pad be switched out for a 6 inch pad?
Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, the BO5041 can only use a 5inch pad.
What is the noise level on this sander?
it is very lound. Big motor, lot of speed.
Noise level is fairly low for a sander. This is a good small sander.
Has a variable humming noise level depending on the speed setting you use. Rather quiet in my opinion.
Couldn't tell you the decibels, but I wear hearing protection when I use it like I do for all power tools.
"Thank you for your question on the BO5041 sander. The typical A-weighted noise level determined according to EN60745: Sound pressure level (LpA) : 81 dB(A) Sound power level (LWA) : 92 dB(A) "
Where can I purchase the connector to hook this to my shop vac? The end that goes into the bag is tapered and doesn't seem to fit anything. Thanks!
