GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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 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
160W DETAIL 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 RULES:
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.

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
h
=1.65m/s
2
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
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.
Page 8
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.
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.

Warning: Before using your sander be sure to
read the instruction manual carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for dry sanding of wood,
plastic, filler and coated surfaces.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. KNOW YOUR SANDER
The compact, lightweight design of this sander
allows it to fit into small areas that other sanders
can’t reach. It is ideal for sanding, polishing,
detailing, removing rust with sanding pads, tips,
polishing pads and scrubbing pads (include). It has
2 interchangeable bases for extra versatility in a wide
variety of large and small applications. It also features
hook-and-loop attachment for fast, easy sanding
pads attachment or removal. Before attempting to
use any tool, be sure to familiarise yourself with all
the operating features and safety instructions.
This sander has 2 interchangeable bases for extra
versatility. The large triangular base is for sanding
larger surfaces. The detail sanding attachment is
ideal for sanding corners and small, intricate, hardto-reach areas.
2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your sander has a precision-built electric motor
and it should only be connected to a 230-240V,
50Hz. Power supply (normal household current).
Do not operate on direct current (DC). This large
voltage drop will cause a loss of power that will
overheat the motor. If your sander does not operate
when plugged into an outlet, have a professional
electrician check the power supply.
Warning: Always switch off and unplug from
the mains before making any adjustment,
including replacing sanding base and fitting sanding
paper.
3. ROCKER SWITCH
To turn the sander “ON”, simply push the rocker
switch .To turn the sander “OFF”, push the rocker
switch again (See Fig. 1).

4. ATTACHING SANDING SHEETS AND PADS
This sander features an easy hook and loop
accessory fastening system for quick changing
without clamps.
1) Unplug the sander.
2) Carefully centre the sanding sheet or pad over the
base to be used. Line up the tip of the sanding sheet
or pad with the tip of the base.
3) Press the sheet or pad firmly in place.
4) To remove sheet or pad, simply pull it off (See Fig.
2, 3).
(5) See section 8 on the changing of the sanding
bases.
Warning: Failure to unplug the sander could
result in accidental starting causing possible
serious personal injury.
5. SANDING WITH EITHER BASE
Move the sander in long, sweeping strokes across
the sanding surface. Light pressure is all that is
needed for sanding, polishing and scrubbing. Let
the sander do the work. Check your work often.
This sander removes material quickly (See Fig. 4).
Important: Applying excessive pressure will slow the
sander and produce unsatisfactory results.
6. SANDING TIPS
Do not force the sander. The weight of the sander
supplies adequate pressure. Let the sander and
the sandpaper does the work. Applying additional
pressure will only slow the motor wear the
sandpaper out faster and reduce sander speed.
Excessive pressure will overload the motor and
cause possible damage to the sander from the
motor overheating. Excessive pressure will also
result in inferior work.
Any existing finish or resin on wood may soften from
the heat of the friction.
Do not sand in one spot for too long a time because
the sander’s rapid action may remove too much
material and make the surface uneven.

7. SELECTING THE RIGHT SANDPAPER
Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an
extremely important decision that will allow you to
achieve the best quality sanding finish.
Coarse grit will remove the most material and
finer grit will give you the best finish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be
sanded will determine which grit will do the job.
If the surface is rough:
Start with coarse grit (sold separately) and sand until
the surface is uniform. Then use medium to remove
any scratches left by the coarse grit. Then use finer
grit (sold separately) for finishing the surface.
Note: Always continues sanding with each grit until
the surface is uniform.
Using the polishing and scrubbing pads
This tool is also ideal for cleaning, polishing and
removing rust with the polishing and scrubbing pads
(sold separately).
8.CHANGING THE BASES
1) Remove the 5 Phillips head screws holding the
triangular base.
2) Replace triangular base by detail sanding
attachment to base position
3) Fixing it by 5 screws
4) Similar process conducted when detail sanding
attachment changed to triangular base. (See Fig. 5
& 6)
