Instruction & User Manual
Read all safety warnings, instructions and
specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury. Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference.
WARNING!
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
m Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
m 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.
m Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
m 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.
m 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.
m Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
m Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep the cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of
electric shock.
m 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.
m 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
m 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.
m Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
m 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.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

JCB-RO125
Instruction & User Manual
m 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.
m Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables
better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
m Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
m 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.
m Do not let familiarity gained from
frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
4. Power tool use and care
m 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.
m 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.
m Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, 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.
m 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.
m Maintain power tools and accessories.
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.
m Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
m 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.
m Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.

Instruction & User Manual
The vibration emission value of the power
tool is tested under EN 62841-1 and EN
62841-2-4, and can vary during operation
depending on the following usage conditions:
WARNING!
m How the tool is used and the materials
being cut or drilled.
m The tool being in good condition and well
maintained.
m Using the correct accessory for the tool and
ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.
m The tightness of the grip on the handles and

To be accurate, an estimation of exposure
level in the actual conditions of use should
also take account of all parts of the operating
cycle. These include times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle but
not actually doing work. This may significantly
reduce the total exposure level over the
working period, helping to minimize your
vibration exposure risk.
WARNING!
m ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
m Maintain this tool in accordance with these
instructions and keep well lubricated (where
appropriate).
m If the tool is to be used regularly then invest
in anti-vibration accessories.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Intended Use
This orbital sander is intended for dry sanding
of wood, plastic, metal and filler material as
well as painted surfaces.
The tool must not be modified or used for
any other purposes than the ones described in
these instructions.
Before using the tool on metal surfaces,
always remove the dust bag from the outlet.
Sparks may ignite the dust or the bag.
WARNING!
Power Switch
m On: Shift the ON/OFF switch slider to “I”
position.
m Off: Shift the ON/OFF switch slider to “O”
position.
Changing A Sanding Sheet
The sanding sheet and sanding pad are
provided with a hook and loop attachment
system to allow quick and easy changing of
sanding and polishing sheets.
Ensure the hook and loop surfaces of the
tool plate, and chosen sheet are as clean as
possible, and free from any large debris prior
to mounting the sheet.
NOTE
To attach a new sheet:
m Align the edge of the disc with the edge of
the pad, and ensure the sheet is centered in
the plate.
m Apply pressure to the disc, ensuring it is
securely fixed across the entire sanding pad.
To remove a disc:
m Lift one corner of the sanding disc and pull
off from the sanding pad.
Adjusting Speed
m Disc speed can be varied by rotating the
speed adjustment wheel.
m The wheel allows fine control between
minimum (7000rpm) and maximum
(14000rpm) speeds.
The correct speed for your application will
depend on grade, material and pressure
applied. Always test new settings on a scrap
piece of material if possible.
NOTE
The tool may become hot at low speeds. To
aid in cooling the motor, periodically set the
speed to a higher value and run the tool with
no load.
NOTE
Dust Suction
m Efficiency and durability of sandpaper are
much improved by dust suction through the
apertures in the disc and sandpaper.
m Dust collector bag must be emptied
regularly.
Vacuum Adaptor
m The adaptor ensures coupling to a vacuum
cleaner in case of increased dust generation.
m Dismount the collector bag and fasten the
tool to a vacuum cleaner.

Instruction & User Manual
Sanding Surfaces
m Place the machine flat on the workpiece,
ensuring the entire plate makes even
contact.
m Turn on the sander.
m Apply uniform sanding pressure.
m Adjust the tool speed & pressure to suit the
work as required.
Less sanding pressure increases the sanding
capacity and protects the machine and the
sanding paper.
NOTE
The removal capacity and the sanding pat-
tern are determined mainly by the selection
of the Sand paper (grade), the speed of the
sanding pad and the application pressure.
NOTE
Rough Sanding
m Attach a sand paper with coarse grain.
m Apply only light sanding pressure to achieve
increased material removal.
For faster material removal, do not increase
pressure on the tool, instead use a coarser
sanding sheet.
NOTE
Fine Sanding
m Attach a sand paper with fine grain.
m With moderate pressure, move the
machine in a circular pattern or alternately
in lengthwise and crosswise directions over
the workpiece.
Do not tilt the machine during operation.
This will apply uneven pressure, and may
cause damage to the work piece (e.g. when
sanding veneer).
NOTE
To avoid marring the finished surface, switch
off the machine, and only lift it from the
workpiece when it has come to a stop.
NOTE
Orbital Sanding
m Guide your sander parallel to the working
surface and move it in circles or in a cross
pattern.
m The speed of the orbital motion of the
sanding pad is reduced as applied pressure
increases.
Selecting The Right Grade Of
Sandpaper
m Use coarse grits to sand down rough
finishes, medium grit to smooth the work
and fine grit to finish off.
m The higher the grade number, the finer the
grit.
m For rough work start with a low grade or
grit. (e.g. 60 grit) and change to a higher,
finer grade (e.g. 120 grit) for finishing.
m If you use a fine grade for rough surfaces it
will clog and need changing more frequently.
The correct grade for your application will
depend on tool speed, material and pressure
applied. Always test on a scrap piece of
material if possible.
