General safety rules

WARNING. Read all safety warnings and all instructions.

Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains­operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.

1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.

Cluttered or dark

areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which
may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a

power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify

the plug in any way.

Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.

There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase

the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) To reduce the risk of electric shock, the manufacturer

recommends the use of a residual current device
with a rated residual current of 30mA or less at
all times.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.

A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye

protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch

is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying
the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the

switch or energising power tools that have the switch
on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance

at all times.

This enables better control of the power tool

in unexpected situations.

f ) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust

extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used.

Use of dust collection

can reduce dust-related hazards.

5

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power

tool for your application.

The correct power tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn

it on and off.

Any power tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or

the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.

Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or

binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools.

f ) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.

in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

h) This appliance is not intended for use by persons

(including children) with reduced physical, sensory
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or

instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety.

i) Children should be supervised to ensure that they do

not play with the appliance.

5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair

person using only identical replacement parts.

This

will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Additional safety rules for sanders

WARNING. Remove the plug from the power socket

before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance, including the changing of sandpaper.

• When fitting and changing sandpaper, always follow the

instructions.

• If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold

your work.

• Make sure that the switch is off before you plug the

tool in.

• Do not over-reach, be sure of your footing and balance

at all times.

• Always wear eye and ear protection and use a dust mask.

• Only use good quality sandpaper.

• Do not force the sander; let the tool do the work at a

reasonable feed speed. Overloading will occur if too
much pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting
in inefficient sanding and possible damage to the
sander motor.

• Always switch off before you put the sander down.

• Disconnect the sander from the power supply when

it is not in use, before cleaning and when changing
sandpaper.

• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left

around the work area.

• Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged

sanding sheets.

• Do not touch the moving sanding sheet.

Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as nails
and screws from the work before commencing sanding.

WARNING.

Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains switch power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater
than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not
plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual will
be considered a case of misuse. The user and not the
manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or injury
resulting from such cases of misuse.

Children and infirm people must not use this tool. Children
should be supervised at all times if they are in the area in
which the tool is being used. It is also imperative that you
observe the accident prevention regulations in force in your
area. The same applies for general rules of occupational
health and safety.

The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes made
to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such changes.

Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not
possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction
and design:

• Damage to the lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn.

• Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn.

• Always remove the plug from the mains socket before

Know your product

The sander is designed for sanding wood, metal, plastic and
similar materials. It is a finishing sander and should be used
only when giving a surface a final sanding. As the base is
reasonably small, the sander is suited for accessing tight
corners that larger sanders are unable to reach.

Switching on and off

1. With the cordset fitted to a power point, switch the sander

on by pushing the on/off switch (1) downward.

2. To turn off the sander, pull the on/off switch upward.

Fitting sandpaper

1. Disconnect the sander from the power supply.

2. Remove any dust or debris from the hooks and loops of

the platen.

3. If you are using sandpaper

that has dust extraction
holes align the sandpaper
holes with the platen and
press it firmly in place to
ensure a good attachment.

CAUTION. Take care to

regularly clean out the build up
of dust on the platen
underneath the sandpaper and
not to let the sandpaper wear completely down before
replacing it. Failure to observe these two precautionary
measures can lead to damage to the hooks and loops on
the platen and the sandpaper will not attach properly.
If the platen is damaged, it can be replaced at an authorised
service centre.

Note. Hook and loop platens are not a warranty item.

Selecting the right grade
of sandpaper for the job

1. Different grades of sanding paper can be purchased from
your local hardware store. Available grades are:
Coarse, Medium and Fine.

2. Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium
grit to smooth the work and fine grit to finish off.

3. It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material
to determine the optimum grades of sandpaper for a
particular job.

WARNING. Do not use the same sanding sheet for wood

and metal. Metal particles become embedded in the
sandpaper and will scour a wooden surface.

WARNING. Take care to regularly clean out the build up of

dust on the platen underneath the sandpaper and not let
the sandpaper wear completely down before replacing it.
Failure to observe these two precautionary measures can
lead to damage to the platen.

Sanding

1. The sander can be used for most sanding operations
on materials such as wood, plastic, metal and painted
surfaces.

2. Wear safety goggles a dust mask and ear muffs.

3. Switch the sander on whilst it is resting on the
workpiece. Take care to hold the whole area of the
platen on the work.

4. Move the sander over the surface of the work in a
circular motion with an even,
moderate pressure.

5. For a cleaner working
environment you can use
the dust extraction adaptor
(5). The dust extraction
adaptor push fits into the
dust extraction port.

Dust extraction

WARNING. Always ensure

that the tool is switched
off and the plug is removed
from the power point before
making any adjustments or
maintenance procedures.

1. Attach the dust canister (4)
to the dust extraction port
of the sander by depressing
the side clips.

WARNING. For optimum dust

extraction, remove and empty
the canister (4) when it is no
more than half full.

2. Remove the canister by
depressing the side clips
and gently easing the
canister off. To empty the
dust canister gently tap the
canister upside down over a
bin.

If the canister needs a good

clean, there are two screws
that hold the dust bag in the
canister. Unscrew the two
screws and remove the bag.
and give a good clean.

Locate the bag back in the canister and replace the

screws.

3. The dust extraction adaptor
piece (5) can be fitted into the
dust extraction port in place of
the dust canister (4).

4. The sander can then be
connected to a household
vacuum cleaner or
workshop dust extraction
system.

The Detail sander has a rotating platen.

1. Switch off and unplug the
unit.

2. Whilst holding the hand grip
(2) and the platen (3) rotate
to the desired position.

CAUTION. Where possible,

clamp smaller workpieces to
the bench.

Note. If there are still scratches

on your work after sanding, try
either of the following:

1. Go back to a coarser grit and
sand the marks out before
recommencing with the
original choice or,

2. Try using new sandpaper
of the same grit to eliminate
the unwanted marks before
progressing to a finer grit
and finishing the job.
