SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. Work area

a. Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered and 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. Use a Residual Circuit Breaker on all 230V Power tools. This can help
minimise the risk of an electrical shock if an earth fault or short circuits occurs.

g. If using a power cable extension ensure that the cable is fully unwound
and that its length is less than 30m. Lengths over 30 m will effect the tools

performance as a result of voltage drop.

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

c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position

240W PALM SANDER

before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or
plugging in 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 these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

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 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 tools 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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed.Use of the power tool for operations different from intended

could result in a hazardous situation.

5. Service

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
Safety Instructions identical replacement parts.This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

VIBRATION

The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help re­duce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive requires
power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test results to
enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power tool can be
used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:

Work mode description 1 Vibration emission value ah =4.86 m/s²

Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²

The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level should be
used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE
website has further information.

The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary assessment
of exposure.

Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can

differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used
dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:­How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condi

­tion.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately
managed

Warning: identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on

an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all
parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when
it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).Note The use of other tools will reduce
the users’ total working period on this tool.

Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades

Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated
(where appropriate)

Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10C or less
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of
days.

Health Surveillance
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help
identity any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression
and help employees stay in work.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.

1. CHANGING THE SANDING PAPER
(See Fig A)

Always when fitting or removing sandpaper
ensure that the sander is switched off and the
plug is removed.
To remove the sanding paper, lift up the clamp
lever (8) and move away from the clamp lever
lock (6). The sanding paper clamp (7) is now
loose. Repeat with the other clamp on the
opposite side of your sander.
To fit new sanding paper, insert approximately
5mm of one end of the sanding paper under the
sanding paper clamp (7) until the paper contacts
the housing wall. Lift up the clamp lever (8)
and move it to the lever lock position. Press the
sanding paper around the base plate shape as
tight as possible and fix the end under the other
sanding paper clamp (7).
Check the sanding paper is square to the base
plate. If not correct, remove and refit it again.
Always, ensure the sanding paper is tight over
the base plate and secured underneath both
locked clamps(7). This will ensure safe and
efficient sanding performance.

2. PAPER PUNCH

If using sanding paper without dust holes, use
the paper punch (9) to perforate the holes to
ensure correct dust extraction. Position the
punch over the base-plate (5) with the punch
sides on the edges of the base-plate.
Press the punch into the base-plate to punch
holes into the sanding paper. Then remove the
punch and check all the holes have been formed
correctly.

3. USING THE DUST BAG

(See Fig B)

Your sander is equipped with a dust collection
bag. To attach, insert the dust collection bag into
the back of the sander until it is secure.

Caution:

To prevent the possibility of sanding dust
or foreign body being thrown into your face or
eyes, never attempt to use your sander without
the dust box/bag properly installed.

Empty dust bag (See Fig C)

For more efficient operation, empty dust bag
every 5-10mins. This will permit the air to flow
through the bag better. To empty the dust bag,
out dust into a plastic or similar bag for safe
disposal.

4. OPERATING THE SWITCH

(See Fig D)

To start your sander, depress the protective
cover over the switch at the position marked“I”.
To stop your sander, depress the protective
cover at the position marked “0”.

5. FLUSH SANDING FACILITY

Your sander can sand flush on three sides of the
baseplate which allows easy access to corners
and edges of mouldings.

6. ORBITAL SANDING

Your sander operates in small circular rotations
which allows efficient material removal. Operate
your sander in long sweeping movements
across your workpiece and even across the
grain. For a finer finish, always use a fine grain
sanding paper and only move the sander in the
direction of the grit and never across the grain.
Do not allow your sander to remain in the same
position otherwise you will remove material and
create an uneven surface.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
PALM SANDER

If your power tool becomes too hot, especially
when used at low speed, set the speed to
maximum and run it with no load for 2-3
minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged
usage at very low speeds. Always use sand
paper that is suitable for the material you
want to sand. Always ensure the work-piece is
firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect
the quality of the sanding finish. Start your
sander before sanding and turn it off only after
you stop sanding. For the best results, sand
wood in the direction of the grain. Do not start
sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it will

damage the base-plate. The guarantee does
not cover base-plate wear and tear. Use coarse
grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium
grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the
final surfaces. If necessary, first make a test
run on scrap material. Use only good quality
sandpaper. The sandpaper controls the sanding
efficiency, not the amount of force you apply to
the tool. Excessive force will reduce the sanding
fficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing
the sandpaper regularly will maintain optimum
sanding efficiency.

MAINTENANCE

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional
lubrication or maintenance. There are no user
serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use
water or chemical cleaners to clean your power
tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store
your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor
ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls
free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks
through the ventilation slots. This is normal
and will not damage your power tool. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

TROUBLESHOOTING

1.If your sander will not operate, check the power
at the mains plug.

2.If the sander does not abrade surface, check
the sanding paper. If the sanding paper have
been worn, replace the new paper and try again.
The paper must be kept in a dry place; If it is
allowed to become damp, the abrasive particles
will lose their adhesion to the backing paper and
will not abrade.

3.If the sander does not move smoothly, The
sanding paper may be loose, damaged or
wrinkled. Replace and try again.

4.If a fault can not be rectified return the sander
to an authorised dealer for repair.
