months from the date of purchase. Please keep your receipt as proof of purchase.
This guarantee is invalid if the product is found to have been abused or tampered
with in any way, or not used for the purpose for which it was intended.
Faulty goods should be returned to their place of purchase, no product can be
returned to us without prior permission.

FEATURES
This 300mm Sanding Disc is ideal for finish fitting, altering bevel angles, sanding
convex curves - ‘to the line’, and sanding end grain, without burning etc.
The machine is provided with a work table which is capable of tilting to 45 degrees,
and a mitre gauge, in which the work may be held, and which moves in a mitre
gauge slot, parallel to the disc. The Mitre gauge is also capable of adjustment to
60 degrees. The table must ALWAYS be perfectly secure before starting work.
Considerable dust is produced when using this machine and it is most important
that a suitable face mask is worn at all times. We also strongly recommend that a
dust extractor is fitted to the outlet provided, and similarly, used at all times.
Discs for sanding wood are available from your CLARKE dealer (See ‘Accessories’).
Discs for sanding other materials are available from various DIY or specialist stores.
If you are not familiar with sanding machines, it is strongly recommended that you
consult a qualified person, or obtain relevant tutorials. Like all power tools, this
machine can be extremely dangerous in the wrong hands or if used incorrectly.
Used correctly however, it is a highly efficient and intensely labour saving device.
Please read this manual thoroughly before use.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR OPERATING MACHINERY
WARNING:
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with
their operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will
considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal
safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, personal injury to
the operator or damage to property, may result.
1. READ and BECOME FAMILIAR with the entire operating manual. Learn
the machines’ applications and limitations as well as the specific
potential hazards peculiar to it.
2. EARTH ALL MACHINES. If the machine is equipped with three-pin plug,
it should be plugged into a three-pin electrical socket. Never remove
the earth pin.
3. ALWAYS ensure that ADEQUATE LIGHTING is available. A minimum
intensity of 300 lux should be provided. Ensure that lighting is placed
so that you will not be working in your own shadow.
4. CHECK for DAMAGE before using the machine. Any damaged part,
such as a guard etc., should be checked to ensure that it will operate
properly, and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and any other condition
that may affect the machines’ operation. Any damage should be
properly repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT USE the
machine. Consult your local dealer.
5. DISCONNECT the MACHINE from the power supply before servicing
and when changing sanding discs, or adjusting the table etc.
6. ALWAYS KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
7. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES, manufactured to the latest European
Safety Standards. Also use a face or dust mask if the cutting operation
is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses do not have impact resistant lenses, they
are NOT safety glasses.
8. KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
accidents.
9. ALWAYS WEAR EAR PROTECTORS/DEFENDERS.
10. DON’T FORCE THE MACHINE. It will do a better and safer job at the rate
for which it was designed.
4
11. REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form the habit of checking
to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
machine before switching on.
12. Do not operate machine while under the influence of DRUGS,
ALCOHOL OR ANY MEDICATION.
13. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. The use of improper
accessories could be hazardous.
14. NEVER LEAVE MACHINE RUNNING UNATTENDED. Turn power OFF. Do
not leave machine until it comes to a complete stop.
15. ALWAYS DISCONNECT FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY when adjusting,
changing parts, or working on machine.
16. AVOID DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power machines in
damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep your work area
well illuminated. DO NOT USE in explosive atmosphere (around paint,
flammable liquids etc.).
17. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from
the work area, especially whilst operating the unit.
19. MAINTAIN MACHINE IN TOP CONDITION. Keep it clean for the best
and safest performance. Follow maintenance instructions.
21. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times.
For best footing, wear rubber soled footwear. Keep floor clear of oil,
scrap wood, etc.
22. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Loose clothing or jewellery may get caught
in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
23. MAKE WORKSHOP CHILDPROOF. Cover the machine adequately when
not in use, to prevent children from damaging themselves by
tampering with it.
24. NEVER STAND ON THE MACHINE. Serious injury could occur if the
machine is tipped or if a cutting tool is accidentally contacted. Do
not store materials above or near a machine, such that it is necessary
to stand on the machine to reach them.
25. HANDLE WITH EXTREME CARE whenever transporting or installing
machinery. ALWAYS have assistance with heavy or awkward loads.
26. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING. Ensure the switch is OFF before plugging
in to mains.
27. ALWAYS CONCENTRATE ON THE JOB IN HAND, no matter how trivial it
may seem. Accidents are frequently caused by carelessness due to
familiarity.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for DISC SANDERS
✔ ALWAYS place the sander on a solid wood workbench which will not
move under load.
✔ ALWAYS wear safety goggles as protection against flying grit and/or
sawdust. In many cases, a full face shield is even better protection. A
dust mask is also recommended to keep saw dust out of your lungs.
✔ ALWAYS clear the work table of all objects except the workpiece (tools,
scraps, rulers etc.) before switching on the sander.
✔ ALWAYS keep your fingers well away from the disc.
✔ ALWAYS switch off the sander, and make sure the disc has come to a
complete stop before clearing sawdust from the table.
✔ ALWAYS make sure there are no nails or foreign objects in the part of
the workpiece to be sanded.
✔ ALWAYS set up the machine and make all adjustments with the power
OFF, and disconnected from the supply.
✔ ALWAYS use the correct type and size of sanding disc for each
operation.
✔ ALWAYS maintain a gap of 1.5 - 2mm MAX. between the sanding Disc
and the table.
✔ ALWAYS take great care if sanding non-ferrous metals. Dust from some
materials can be extremely dangerous.....toxic or explosive.
✘ NEVER operate the machine with the guards or table removed. They
must all be in place and securely fastened when performing any
operation
✘ NEVER sand any material that does not have a flat surface on which
to bear.
✘ NEVER force the work into the disc....Hold it FIRMLY and press it gently
into the disc, on the DOWNWARD direction side.
NOTE: The disc spins in an ANTICLOCKWISE direction. The workpiece
should ALWAYS be sanded on the LEFT HAND HALF of the disc.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply
through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator
switch.
WARNING! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Green and Yellow - Earth
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the flexible lead of this appliance may not correspond
with the coloured markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as
follows:
• Connect the GREEN & YELLOW cord to terminal marked with a letter
“E” or Earth symbol “ ” or coloured GREEN or GREEN & YELLOW.
• Connect BROWN cord to terminal marked with “L” or coloured RED.
• Connect BLUE cord to the terminal marked with “N” or coloured BLACK.
If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded onto the electric
cable (i.e. non-rewirable) 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 dealer or
most electrical stockists.
Fuse Rating
The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating -13amps
and this replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.
Cable Extension
If a cable extension is needed, it is essential to ensure that the size of the
conductors is at least the same size as those of the power cable supplied.
7
INSTALLATION & OPERATION
Remove the sander from the packing and ensure it is complete and has not
suffered any damage in transit. Should any damage be apparent, contact
your Clarke dealer immediately.
Your Sander is fully assembled, except for the sanding disc and the Mitre Gauge.
1. Install the machine on a solid base, one that will not move easily. Adjust
the rubber feet if necessary so that the machine is horizontal and
perfectly stable.
Alternatively, the rubber feet may be removed and the machine bolted
directly to a solid workbench as a permanent fixture. This is a more solid
arrangement and avoids the possibility of the machine moving when in use.
2. Remove the protective cover from the back of the sanding disc and gently
slide it between the work table and disc so that it is concentric about the
disc. Press firmly so that it adheres to the disc, turning the disc as you do so.
3. Wipe the table surface with a rag moistened with white spirit to remove the
tansportaion lacquer.
4. Adjust the work table to the desired angle, by slackening the two Table
Clamps, one either side, moving the table and tightening the clamps.
Note that the clamps are spring loaded. Turn the lever clockwise to clamp,
as far as possible, then pull the lever out against spring pressure which
allows the lever to be turned anticlockwise without unclamping. Allow the
lever to spring inwards again, then proceed to turn it clockwise once more.
Repeat the process until the table is securely clamped.....but DO NOT
overtighten, otherwise damage to the clamping mechanism will occur.
You will also note that there is a little slack between the table pivot screw
and Quadrant, beneath the table, When clamping, maintain a slight
inwards pressure on the table so that a gap of 1.5 - 2mm is achieved
between the table and disc.
5. To start the disc, press the GREEN START button marked ‘I’. Allow the
disc to come to full speed before commencing work.
6. To stop, press the RED STOP button, and wait for the disc to stop
completely before removing any sawdust.
If the angle is critical, an angle gauge should be used between the table
and disc to ensure accuracy. For right angles, simply slide a square on the
table, up to the disc, and adjust accordingly. The angle should be correct
when slight pressure is placed on the table.
8
Fig.1
For greater accuracy, the mitre gauge is used so that the work may be held at a
required angle and moved across the disc as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Use a slight pressure ONLY... let the disc do the work. Pressure should be on the
DOWNWARDS direction of motion of the disc ONLY. i.e. on the left half of the disc
as shown in Figs.1 and 2.
NOTE:
Replacement sanding discs (packets of 5) in three different grit sizes are available
from your Clarke dealer. (See Accessories below).
We STRONGLY recommend that a dust extraction device is used with this machine.
Simply attach a suitable hose from the dust extractor to the outlet, beneath the
table. A vacuum cleaner may be used for this purpose if a purpose built dust
extractor is not available. (Dust extractors are available from your Clarke dealer).
Fig.2
MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS disconnect the machine from the mains supply BEFORE performing any
maintenance operation.
The machine is completely maintenance free, with the exception of ensuring it is
kept clean and free from build up of sawdust at all times. This should be carried
out with an old paintbrush or similar, and a vacuum cleaner.
The panel beneath the table is secured by two screws. Remove these to gain
access to the lower half of the disc.
