Anyone know about this tool?

My brother bought a bunch of tools at a yard sale and in them was a Wen 7" sander/polisher. He knew I was into detailing so he gave it to me. Now I know nothing about this thing. Is it a polisher, is it rotary?:nixweiss The speed on it is 0 to 1600 and it has a velcro backing plate and a wool pad with it. No instructions. I look it up on line but did'nt tell me much. What else could I do, I came to the pro's. I've been wanting to step up to a rotary but could not afford one so this could be it. Let me know what you think, and thanks for your time.

A rotary is a polisher in a sense. Plug it in and turn it on, if it straight up spins its a rotary. I'm not sure if you are familiar w/ the PC but if you are if rotates like a PC then it is a Dual action which is safer for your paint if you are inexperienced w/ a machine. The way it sounds with the speed settings, it is a rotary. Post a pic if you can.
 
Hey General Lee, thanks for the quick reply. I have a P/C, pluged in the Wen, its a rotary. Do you think this will be a good one to learn on? It is variable speed, 0 to 1600, with a screw lock on the trigger to keep it from going faster than you set it. I'm going to do a search on rotary usage to get some learning idea's. I'm wondering if the speeds are ok. This is a picture.
