OPERATING & MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

You will note that a third value is given in the specification - the highest measured
reading in a single plane. This is the maximum level of vibration measured during testing
in one of the axes, and this should also be taken into account when making a risk
assessment.

‘a’ values in excess of 2.5 m/s2 are considered hazardous when used for prolonged
periods. A tool with a vibration value of 2.8 m/s2 may be used for up to 8 hours
(cumulative) per day, whereas a tool with a value of 11.2 m/s2 may be used for ½ hour
per day only.

The graph below shows the vibration value against the maximum time the respective
tool may be used, per day.

When disposing of this product, ensure it is disposed of according to all local ordinances

The uncertainty factor should also be taken into account when assessing a risk. The two
figures ‘a’ and ‘K’may be added together and the resulant value used to assess the risk.

It should be noted that if a tool is used under abnormal, or unusual conditions, then the
vibration level could possibly increase significantly. Users must always take this into
account and make their own risk assessment, using the graph above as a reference.

Some tools with a high vibration value, such as impact wrenches, are generally used for
a few seconds at a time, therefore the cumulative time may only be in the order of a few
minutes per day. Nevertheless, the cumulative ef fect, particularly when added to that of
other hand held power tools that may be used, must always be taken into account when
the total daily dose rate is determined.

Vibration Emissions

HAND-ARM VIBRATION

Employers are advised to refer to the HSE publication “Guide for Employers”.

Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Detail Sander, which is designed for DIY and light
workshop use only.

Before attempting to use the machine, please read this manual thoroughly and follow the
instructions carefully. In doing so you will ensure the safety of yourself and that of others
around you, and you can look forward to the Sander giving you long and satisfactory
service.

All hand held power tools vibrate to some extent, and this vibration is transmitted to the
operator via the handle, or hand used to steady the tool. V ibration from about 2 to 1500
herz is potentially damaging and is most hazardous in the range from about 5 to 20 herz.

Operators who are regularly exposed to vibration may suffer from Hand Arm Vibration
Syndrome (HA VS), which includes ‘dead hand’, ‘dead finger’, and ‘white finger’. These
are painful conditions and are widespread in industries where vibrating tools are used.

The health risk depends upon the vibration level and the length of time of exposure to
it……in effect, a daily vibration dose.

Tools are tested using specialised equipment, to approximate the vibration level generated
under normal, acceptable operating conditions for the tool in question. For example, a
grinder used at 45° on mild steel plate, or a sander on softwood in a horizontal plane etc.

These tests produce a value‘a’, expressed in metres per second per second, which
represents the average vibration level of all tests taken, in three axes where necessary,
and a second figure ‘K’, which represents the uncertainty factor, i.e. a value in excess of
‘a’, to which the tool could vibrate under normal conditions. These values appear in the
specification panel below.

DUST EXTRACTION

The sander is provided with a dust extraction facility, where a vacuum extractor, or dust
bag (not supplied), may be connected to the outlet at the rear of the machine. Please
note however, that this does not preclude the user from wearing a face mask to prevent
the inhalation of dust particles.

It is an EEC requirement that a dust extraction facility be provided on power tools, however,
due to the nature of the tool, some of the dust produced will be forced into the surrounding
atmosphere, and will not be collected.

Electrical Connections

This product is provided with a standard 13 amp, 230 volt (50Hz), BS 1363 plug, for
connection to a standard, domestic electrical supply. Should the plug need changing at
any time, ensure that a plug of identical specification is used.

WARNING

This appliance is Double Insulated, and the two wires in the mains lead should

be wired up in accordance with the following colour code:

BLUE - NEUTRAL

BROWN - LIVE

•

Connect the BLUE coloured cord to the plug terminal marked a letter “N”

• Connect the BROWN coloured cord to the plug terminal marked a letter “L”

If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded on
to the electric cable (i.e. non-rewireable) please note:

1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the
electric cable. There is a danger

of electric shock if it is subsequently
inserted into a socket outlet.

2. Never use the plug without the fuse
cover fitted.

3. Should you wish to replace a
detachable fuse carrier, ensure that
the correct replacement is used (as
indicated by marking or colour code).

4. Replacement fuse covers can be
obtained from your local Clarke dealer or most electrical stockists.

FUSE RATING

The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (5 amps) and this
replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.

If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.

CABLE EXTENSION.

Always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see
specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as that on the

machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

Operation

1. Fitting Sanding Pad.

a) Select pad to be used. (MUST be correct pads with velcro fitting ability).

b) Ensure sander is switched OFF and plug is removed from socket.

c) Line up holes in pad with those on machine pad. (this is necessary for dust

extraction), press pad firmly onto machine pad to secure it.

2. Dust Collection.

The dust collection bag/suction, (not supplied), is fitted to sander duct on sander
handgrip, below the mains cable.

Note :

If using a dust bag, it must be emptied regularly, do not wait until it is completely full.

To operate, insert the plug into the mains socket and switch ON, Holding the sander with
both hands, slide ON/OFF switch (located on top of the machine) forwards, the motor will
now run at full speed.

Offer sander to workpiece and work slowly backwards and forwards across the area to be
sanded until finished. Remove sander from workpiece and slide switch backwards to switch
OFF, (Wait until machine has stopped completely before putting it down.

Maintenance

Always inspect the tool before use, and ensure it is in top condition.

Ensure all air vents are clear, (use compressed air to clean the machine where possible).

Check the power cable to ensure it is sound and free from cracks, bare wires etc. avoid
using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, most plastics are susceptible to damage from
the various types of commercial solvents.

All bearings etc., in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant
for the tools lifetime under normal operating conditions, therefore no further lubrication is
required.

Trouble Shooting

Sander is overheating

This indicates the machine is dirty. Clean the ventilation holes, and blow out with compressed
air or clean with a dry cloth.

Overloading the machine will also cause overheating. Do not use for heavy duty work, and
do not apply excessive pressure.
