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 mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1. Work area safety

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. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a
residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the

risk of electric shock.

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.

1/3 Sheet Sander

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

energizing 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.

Save these instructions. Refer to them frequently and use them to instruct others
who may use this tool. If someone borrows this tool, make sure they have these
instructions.

1. Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or

maintenance.

2. Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating.

3. When an extension cable is required you must ensure it has the correct ampere

rating for your finishing sander.

4. Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as indicated on the rating plate.

5. Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against a possible electrical

insulation failure within the tool.

6. Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden power cables and pipes.

7. After long working period, external metal parts and accessories could be hot.

8. If possible ensure the work-piece is firmly clamped to prevent movement.

9. Your finishing sander is a hand held tool, do not clamp your finishing sander.

10. Before sanding check the area is free of nails, screws, etc.

11. Never stop the sander paper by applying a force to the paper.

12. Only use the sanding paper in good condition. Do not use with a torn or worn

paper.

13. Do not sand material containing asbestos due to a health risk.

14. Do not sand lead based paint due to the risk of lead poisoning.

15. Do not eat or drink in the working area of the sander.

16. Do not allow people to enter the working area without wearing the correct type

of mask.

17. Where possible seal off the working area to contain the dust for later removal.

18. Your tool is designed for dry sanding only, not wet sanding.

19. Your tool is designed for general-purpose light polishing of wood and metals.

20. Do not sand magnesium material due to the risk of fire

21. Always wear safety glasses or eye shields when using the sander. Everyday

eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are NOT safety glasses.
Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

22. Always wear a face mask or dust mask. Following this rule will reduce the

risk of serious personal injury.

23. Always wear hearing protection during extended periods of operation.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

WARNING! Some dust particles created by power sanding, sawing,

grinding, drill and other construction jobs contain chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:

Lead from lead-based paint

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber

1/3 Sheet Sander

Your risk to these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:

• Work in a well ventilated area

• Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specifi-

cally designed to filter out microscopic particles.

DOUBLE INSULATION:

The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are electrically
insulated from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation barriers
between the electrical and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the tool
to be earthed.

IMPORTANT NOTE

Be sure the supply is the same as the voltage given on the rating plate. The tool is
fitted with a two-core cable and plug.
Remove the mains plug from socket before carrying out, any adjustment or
servicing.

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 = 6.7m/s²

Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²

The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and
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
condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
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

1/3 Sheet Sander

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

Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10oC 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.

instruction book carefully.

1. FITTING THE SANDING PAPER (SEE FIG
A, B & C)

To fit the sanding paper, lift up the clamp lever
(4) and move away from the clamp lever lock .
The sanding paper clamp 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 until the paper contacts the
housing wall. Lift up the clamp lever 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.
Check the sanding paper is square to the
baseplate. If not correct, remove and refit it
again. Always, ensure the sanding paper is tight
over the baseplate and secured underneath both
locked clamps. This will ensure safe and efficient
sanding performance.

4. PAPER PUNCH (SEE FIG H)

If using sanding paper without dust holes, use
the paper punch to perforate the holes to ensure
correct dust extraction. Position the punch (7)
over the base plate 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.

5. ATTACHING SANDER TO VACUUM (SEE
FIG I)

Your sander is equipped with a dust tube (6),
which is designed for collect dust task. Insert
the dust tube (6) into the rear dust outlet of
sander. Then pull the dust tube and make sure
it is tightened securely on the dust outlet. Then
connect the hose of a vacuum cleaner.
First please turn on the vacuum cleaner, and
then turn on the sander. If you stop sanding, first
turn off the sander, then turn off your vacuum
cleaner.

6. USING THE SANDER

The workpiece to be sanded must be secured.
If it is small or it may move during sanding, it
must be held in a vice or suitably clamped.
Be sure to hold the sander firmly whilst it is on
and apply it gently to the work, it may “kick”
on first contact. Hold the sander so that it is
flat on the work and move slowly, preferably
with a smooth, circular motion. Regularly check
the condition of the sanding paper and replace
when worn for best results.

7. FLUSH SANDING FACILITY

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

8. ORBITAL SANDING

Your sander operates in small a circular rotation
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

Sander

1. 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.

2. Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or
clamped to prevent movement.

3. Any movement of the material may affect the
quality of the sanding finish.

4. 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.

5. Do not start sanding without having the
sandpaper fitted.

6. Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it
will damage the base-plate. The guarantee does
not cover base-plate wear and tear.

7. Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces,
medium grit for smooth surfaces and ine grit for
the final surfaces. If necessary, first make a test
run on scrap material.

8. Use only good quality sandpaper.

9. The sandpaper controls the sanding efficiency,
not the amount of force you apply to he
tool. Excessive force will reduce the sanding
efficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing
the sandpaper regularly will maintain optimum
sanding efficiency.

MaIntenanCe

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

2. If the sander does not abrade surface,
checking the sanding paper. If the sanding paper
has 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 dose 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.
