Safety Instructions

These instructions are intended as a guide to the correct use of this equipment. The process or
materials being sanded may have risk characteristics requiring additional safety measures and
these must be identified by the user. All users of this sander must be thoroughly acquainted with
this manual.

Before Use and Before Using Tool for the First Time

- Make sure you have the relevant Personal Protection Equipment (PPE).

Hand Protection

The pad revolves at high speed and may cause damage if bought into contact with
exposed flesh. The workpiece and the pad may also get hot after prolonged use. Hand
protection must be strong enough to protect the skin and be a good fit and have no loose
parts that may get caught in rotating parts.

Determination of the test results includes consideration of measurement
uncertainty from the test equipment and methods.
*Uncertainty K: 1.44m/s

This model features central
vacuum dust extraction

Eye and Breathing Protection

The sanding process will create dust and other airborne particles. There is a dust
extraction function on this machine but it is still essential that approved eye and
breathing protection is worn to protect users in the event of unintentional disconnection
or damage of the bag or hose.

Noise and Ear Protection

Depending on the material being worked on and the type of sanding disc used, noise
levels may cause hearing damage including temporary or even permanent hearing loss.
It is recommended that Ear Protection is worn at all times when using the sander.

Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI)

All products of this nature can cause RSI if used for long period, particulary in an
awkward operating position. Adequate rest periods and working conditions should be
considered for prolonged use.

General Safety Information

1 Ensure the sanding pad is equal to or greater than 120% of the stated RPM of the

sander.
2 Keep the workplace clean and tidy.
3 Use the tool in a well ventilated area.
4 Air hoses can present a trip hazard, always keep hoses in a way that minimises trip

hazards.
5 DO NOT hold the workpiece by hand, always make sure the workpiece is clamped

securely.
6 Keep all flammable and combustible materials away from the work area.
7 Children and other unauthorised persons should be kept away from the work area.
8 NEVER use the sander whilst the floor underfoot is wet or slippery.
9 NEVER use the sander when standing on an unstable surface.
10 Keep the sander out of reach of children.
11 Analyse the material you are sanding. Be aware of the dangers of sanding lead based

paints. Historically, paint contained lead and sanding such paint will cause toxic dust. If

you suspect that lead could be in the paint the following actions must be observed;

- Alert any other persons in the nearby and keep them away from the working
area.

- Use specific air fed respirator, PE coated coveralls and latex gloves.

- Dispose of any dust and paint waste correctly and thoroughly clean the
workpiece and working area after the sanding has finished.

12 NEVER attempt to sand materials containing asbestos.
13 VIBRATION. Hand held air tools may produce vibration. Vibration from sanders can

cause disease. The use of gloves will help reduce the risk and can help prevent injury.
14 Disconnect the air supply before changing disc or pad.
15 Ensure the sander has stopped rotating before putting it down or handling the pad or

disc.
16 NEVER carry the sander by the air hose.
17 NEVER point the sander at other persons.
18 NEVER operate the sander whilst under the influence or drugs, alcohol or intoxicating

medication.
19 Check you have no loose clothing, hair, jewellery or any other items of a personal nature

that might become entangled with the rotating parts.
20 Check you have a maximum inlet air pressure of 90PSI/6.3BAR.

Familiarise Yourself with the Controls

1 The throttle is pressure sensitive.

Applying pressure will increase

rotational speed.
2 Removal of all pressure will stop the

machine.
3 Your tool comes with a Regulator,

make sure that this is in the off

position when not in use or to prevent

unintentional starts.
4 Never leave the tool unattended and

connected to the power supply.

During Use

1 When using the sander for long periods of time, check the sanding disc for wear.
2 Replace worn discs as worn or clogged discs will make the sander inefficient.
3 The sanding operation will cause heat. Check the material that is being worked on that it

is not getting too hot. If this is occurring, stop sanding to allow the material to cool down.
4 You can adjust the speed of the tool by adjusting the pressure you apply to the throttle.
5 Make regular checks on the sanding pad for wear and damage and replace them

immediately.
6 Due to the potential heat caused by the sanding process, keep flammable liquids and

gases well away from the work area.

Installation

1 Check the tool over to make sure no part is missing or damaged.
2 Fitting an Air Filter, Regulator and Lubricator is recommended.
3 Refer to Fig. 1 for the recommended airline setup.

4 It is strongly advised that you always use a Whip Hose/Leader Hose in combination with

Quick Release Couplings. See Fig. 2 for recommended setup.

7 Always select the correct sanding disc grit for the job.

Tools Included with your Sander

1 x High Flow Male Air Fitting

Maintenance

1 If the air supply is not lubricated sufficiently it will be necessary to lubricate the tool

directly. This can be done by disconnecting the air hose and pouring in 5ml of air tool oil

into the Air Inlet. Read safety data sheet or instructions on use of oil to ensure safe

usage. These can be obtained from your supplier.
2 Replace worn or damaged parts using genuine parts only.
3 Store tool in a dry area, do not allow tool to be immerse in water or used/stored in wet

conditions.

Please note that central vacuum models of this sander
