1. sAfety
WARnInG! ensure that Health & safety, local authority, and general workshop practice regulations are adhered to when using this
equipment.
WARnInG! disconnect from air supply and before changing accessories, servicing or maintenance.
9 maintain the sander in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
9 replace or repair damaged parts. use recommended parts only. unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9 use the sander in a suitable work area. Keep area clean, tidy and free from unrelated materials. ensure that there is adequate lighting.
9 Before each use check abrasive pad for condition. if worn or damaged replace immediately.
9 ensure that there are no flammable or combustible materials near the work area.
WARnInG! Always wear approved PPe protection when operating the sander.
9 if dust is generated, use face, dust, or respiratory protection in accordance with cosHH regulations.
9 depending on the task, sander noise level may exceed 85dB, in which case wear safety ear defenders.
9 remove ill fitting clothing. remove ties, watches, rings and loose jewellery. contain and/or tie back long hair.
9 Wear appropriate protective clothing and keep hands and body clear of working parts.
9 maintain correct balance and footing. ensure that the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
9 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
9 check moving parts alignment on a regular basis.
9 ensure that the work piece is correctly secured before operating the sander. never hold a work piece by hand.
9 check the work piece to ensure that there are no protruding nails, screws, stones, etc.
9 Avoid unintentional starting.
WARnInG! ensure that the correct air pressure is maintained and not exceeded.
9 Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. check air hose for wear before each use and ensure that all connections are
secure.
9 Prolonged exposure to vibration from these tools poses a health risk. it is the owner’s responsibility to correctly assess the potential hazard,
issue guidelines for safe periods of use and offer suitable protective equipment.
8 do not use the sander for a task it is not designed to perform.
8 do not operate sander if any parts are damaged or missing as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
WARnInG! do not cut, grind, saw or sand any materials containing asbestos.
8 do not carry the sander by the hose, or pull the hose from the air supply.
8 do not get the sander wet or use in damp or wet locations. these models are dry sanders only.
8 do not operate sander when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating medication.
8 do not use sander where there are flammable liquids, solids or gases, such as paint solvents and including waste wiping or cleaning
rags etc.
8 do not leave the sander operating unattended.
8 do not carry the sander with your finger on the power lever.
8 do not direct air from the air hose at yourself or others.
9 When not in use disconnect from air supply, and store in a safe, dry, childproof location.
leAd PAInt WARnInG!
Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. contact with the toxic dust from the removal of such paint must therefore be
avoided. the following action must be taken before using the sander on a surface that you suspect may contain lead paint.
1. user must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed (modern paints do not have lead content).
2. dAnGeR! Keep all persons and pets away from the work area. the following are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead
paint dust: Pregnant women, babies and children.
3. We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
a) Paint spray respirators.
b) Pe coated Hooded coverall.
c) latex Gloves.
4. take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.
5. continue to wear safety equipment whilst thoroughly clean all areas when task is complete.
6. seal paint waste in bags or containers for disposal according to local regulations.

WARnInG! – risk of Hand Arm Vibration injury.
this tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
this tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the machinery directive 2006/42/ec.
this tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
measured vibration emission value (a): ...............0.8 m/s²
Uncertainty value (k): ..............................................0.4 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a
specic evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
nb: stated Vibration emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
nb: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration
Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be
modified accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPe) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the
uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and
maintain good blood circulation in fingers etc. Please note that the most effective protection is prevention, please refer to the correct use and
maintenance section in these instructions. Guidance relating to the management of hand arm vibration can be found on the Hsc website
www.hse.gov.uk - Hand-Arm Vibration at Work.
2. IntRodUctIon
Variable speed control lever for quick adjustment to suit work piece. Model No’s GSA04 and GSA05 feature a 360° exhaust mufer to help
reduce noise emission and redirect airow away from operator. Model No. GSA05 features a dust-free outlet for use with centralised dust
extraction systems. model no. GsA06 features a self-generated vacuum with hose and bag. All models supplied with hook-and-loop pad.

4. .oPeRAtIon
4.1. Air supply
4.1.1. ensure the sander air valve (or throttle) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
4.1.2. You will require an air pressure between 70-90psi, and an air flow according to the specification above.
WARnInG! ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the sander.
too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage
and/or personal injury.
4.1.3. drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the sander and will invalidate your warranty.
4.1.4. clean air inlet filter weekly. recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
4.1.5. line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
the minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” i.d. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
4.1.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. check hoses for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.2. couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the air sander. to overcome this, connect a leader
hose to the sander. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. see figs.1 & 2.
