GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

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 electric (corded) power tool or batteryoperated (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. 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.

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.

Page 5

360W 1/2 SHEET SANDER

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.

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.

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. b. If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY POINTS FOR YOUR FINISHING SANDER

1. Harmful/toxic dusts will arise from sanding e.g. lead painted surfaces, woods and metals.

Contact with or inhalation of these dusts can endanger the health of operator and bystanders. Always use eye glasses and dust mask.

2. Hearing protection should be worn when using the sander.

3. 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.

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

maintenance.

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

6. When an extension cable is required you must ensure it has the correct ampere rating for

your power tool and is in a safe electrical condition.

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

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

failure within the tool.

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

10. After long working periods external metal parts and accessories could be hot.

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

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

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

14. Never stop the sander by applying a force to the base plate.

15. Only use paper in good condition. Do not use torn or worn paper.

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

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

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

19. Do not allow people to enter the working area without wearing a dust mask.

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

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

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

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

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 paints.

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

• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated timber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending upon 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 specially designed

to ﬁlter microscopic particles.

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:

Typical weighted vibration Vibration emission value a

= 6.27 m/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 tool. 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.

While working with this power tool, hand/arm vibrations occur. Adopt the correct working practices in order to reduce the exposure to vibration.

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 esti-

mation 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)

Page 8

360W 1/2 SHEET SANDER

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.

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.

4. HAND GRIP AREA

You can operate your sander with two hands (See Fig. 2).

5. CHANGING STANDARD SANDING PAPER

To remove the sanding paper, lift up the clamp lever and move away from the clamp lever lock (See Fig. 3-1). 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 (See Fig. 3-2). 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.

6. PAPER PUNCH

If using sanding paper without dust holes, use the paper punch to perforate the holes to ensure correct dust extraction. Position the punch (10) over the baseplate with the punch sides on the edges of the baseplate (See Fig. 4). Press the punch into the baseplate to punch holes into the sanding paper. Then remove the punch and check all the holes have been formed correctly.

7. DUST BAG

Always operate your sander with the dust box ﬁtted. To remove the box, slide the mounting bracket out and away from the sander (See Fig.5-1) then empty the dust by zipping the bag.. (See Fig. 5-2). For the best performance always empty the dust box when it is half full. To reﬁt the bag, ﬁrmly push the mounting

360W 1/2 SHEET SANDER

bracket into the location on the sander housing (See Fig. 5-3).

8. FLUSH SANDING FACILITY

Your sander can sand ﬂush on three sides of the baseplate which allows easy access to corners and edges of mouldings (See Fig. 6).

9. ORBITAL SANDING

Your sander operates in small circular rotations which allow 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 FINISHING 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 ﬁne 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 the tool. Excessive force will reduce the sanding efﬁciency and cause motor overload. Replacing the sandpaper regularly will maintain optimum sanding efﬁciency.
