WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and
limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear
protection, stop using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted
and provides the correct level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by
your tool.

WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness,
tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If
necessary, limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do
not operate the tool with hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will
have a greater effect. Use the figures provided in the specification relating to vibration to
calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool.

Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to EN60745 or
similar international standards. The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal
working conditions. A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled, or misused tool, may
produce increased levels of noise and vibration. www.osha.europa.eu provides information
on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that may be useful to domestic users who
use tools for long periods of time.

Carefully read and understand this manual and any label attached to the tool before use.
Keep these instructions with the product for future reference. Ensure all persons who use
this product are fully acquainted with this manual.

Even when used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. Use
with caution. If you are at all unsure of the correct and safe manner in which to use this
tool, do not attempt to use it.

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 mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

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

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

NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term
“ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.

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

4

Palm Sander 1⁄4 Sheet263515

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

Power Tool Use & 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

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

WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do

not play with the appliance.

Sanding Tool Safety

• Before connecting the tool to a power source, ensure that the voltage supply matches
that specified on the rating plate of the tool

• Always wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask with a minimum
FFP2 rating, safety goggles and ear defenders.

• Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with suitable
personal protective equipment

• Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech, oak, mahogany and teak),
as the dust produced is toxic and can cause extreme reactions

• Do not sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium

• Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to the material that
is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic, or otherwise harmful.
If working on a building constructed prior to 1960, there is an increased chance of
encountering lead-based paints

• The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to
children, pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. Do not allow
these people near to the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective
equipment

• Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and metal sanding. Sparks
from metal can easily ignite wood dust. Always clean your machine thoroughly to
reduce the risk of fire

• Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use, if there is evidence of
burning (smoke or ash) from the work surface, stop and allow the material to cool. Do
not touch the work surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool

• Do not touch the moving sanding paper

• Always switch off before placing the sander down

• Always unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing or replacing
sandpaper

• Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe use of this tool, do not use it

Operation

Switching on and off

WARNING: Always wear safety goggles, an adequate dust mask, hearing protection and

suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
WARNING: Never switch the sander on when the base is in contact with the workpiece or

any other surface, as this might cause the operator to lose control over the machine, and
lead to serious injury.

1. Connect the sander to the mains power supply

2. Push the On/Off Switch (1) on the side marked ‘I’, to switch the sander on

3. To switch the sander off, push the on/off switch on the side marked ‘O’
WARNING: Always wait until the machine has stopped vibrating completely before putting
it down. Always disconnect from the power supply after use.

Changing the sanding sheet (hook and loop)

WARNING: Always switch off and disconnect from the power supply before changing the
sanding sheet.

1. Remove an old hook and loop sanding sheet, if fitted, by peeling it away from the

machine’s hook and loop Sanding Base (4)

2. Clean any dust or debris from the hook and loop sanding base

3. Align the dust extraction holes in the new sanding sheet with those of the base, and

press the sheet firmly in place

Changing the sanding sheet (conventional non-hook-and­loop sanding sheets)

WARNING: Always switch off and disconnect from the power supply before changing the

sanding sheet.

1. Release the Quick-Change Levers for Conventional Sanding Sheets (6) from both

sides of the Sanding Base (4). Remove any old sanding sheet

2. Clean any dust or debris from the sanding base and lever mechanisms

3. Align the dust extraction holes in the new sanding sheet with the holes of the

sanding base

4. Fit one side of the sheet under one of the quick-change levers and close the lever

5. Push the other end of the sanding sheet under the quick-change lever on the

opposite side of the sanding base. Push the sheet so it sits tightly in line with the

base, and close the second lever
WARNING: If the sanding sheet is not tightly clamped over the Sanding Base (4), it will
wear excessively. Always make sure the sanding base is completely covered by the
sanding sheets, as you might otherwise cause damage to the surface of the base and
the workpiece.

Note: If you are using conventional, non-hook-and-loop sanding sheets with no punched
holes, the dust extraction system of this sander WILL NOT FUNCTION. Use a suitable tool
to manually punch holes through the sanding sheet, exactly where the dust extraction
holes in the base of the sander are located. Take care not to damage the hook and loop
surface of the base.

Selecting the right grade of sanding sheet

Note: This sander is supplied with a variety of different grit sanding sheets. Always
use good quality sanding sheets to maximise the quality of the finished task. Always
test the sander on a scrap piece of material to determine whether the sanding sheet
is suitable for the intended task:

• Coarse (60 grit) for use on rough material

• Medium (120 grit) for smoothing off

• Fine (240 grit) for finishing
Note: DO NOT use sanding sheets designed for wet sanding.
Sanding
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles, an adequate dust mask, hearing protection and

suitable gloves, when working with this sander.
Note: DO NOT continue to use worn, torn, or heavily clogged sanding sheets. Ensure

foreign objects, such as nails and screws, are removed from the workpiece before
commencing sanding.

WARNING: DO NOT use a sanding sheet on wood that has previously been used on metal.
This may cause scouring on the wooden surface. DO NOT use this sander for sanding
magnesium, or for wet sanding.

WARNING: NEVER touch the moving sanding sheet.
Note: Always use clamps to secure your workpiece to the workbench wherever possible.

1. Grip the Palm Grip Handle (2) firmly, and switch the sander on

2. Move the machine in a circular motion over the workpiece surface, applying an even,
moderate pressure (Fig. D). until you reach the desired surface finish

Note: Apply moderate pressure only. Excess pressure will not lead to a faster removal of
material, but will damage the sanding sheet and the machine.

3. If there are still scratches on your workpiece after sanding, try either of the following:

• Return to a coarser grit sanding sheet and sand the marks out before recommencing
with the original choice of sanding sheet or,

• Try using a new sanding sheet of the same grit to eliminate the unwanted marks before
progressing to a finer grit and finishing the job

WARNING: Do not allow the sandpaper to completely wear down before replacing it.
Failure to observe these precautionary measures can lead to damage to the hook and loop
surfaces, resulting in sanding sheets failing to attach properly.

Emptying the dust extraction canister

WARNING: Always switch off and disconnect from the power supply before cleaning or

carrying out maintenance.

1. Rotate the Dust Extraction Canister (5) anti-clockwise and disconnect it from the
machine

2. Empty dust from inside the connector and clean the bayonet fitting

3. Open the dust canister housing by holding the bayonet connector in one hand and
pulling off the slotted plastic cover with the other hand

4. Remove the internal dust bag, empty out, clean and inspect for damage.

WARNING: The dust extraction system cannot function correctly when the internal dust
bag has holes or is otherwise damaged. Replace if there is evidence of damage.

5. Refit the dust bag onto the bag holder, ensuring that the elastic band of the dust bag
sits inside the groove at the base of the bag holder

6. Reinstall the plastic cover and fit the dust canister to the machine (as described in
‘Connecting the dust extraction system’)

Accessories

• A full range of sanding sheets and accessories is available from your Silverline dealer

Maintenance

WARNING: Always disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection,
maintenance or cleaning.

General inspection

• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time

• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs
should be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre. This advice also applies
to extension cords used with this tool

Cleaning

• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly,
and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft
brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the
ventilation holes

• Clean the tool casing with a soft damp cloth using a mild detergent. Do not use alcohol,
petrol or strong cleaning agents

• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts

Hook and loop surfaces

• Hook and loop surfaces need to be clean, free of dirt and foreign matter, such as hair,
fibres, sand etc.

• In order to provide adequate adhesion for securing accessories, hook and loop surfaces
must be in good condition

• When used extensively, hooks and loops will become elongated or broken, and the
mechanism will be unable to provide the required strength of adhesion

Note: This sander’s hook and loop Sanding Base (4) is NOT a warranty item. Replacement
plates can be fitted at an authorised Silverline service centre.

Storage

• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place, out of the reach of children

Disposal

Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that are no longer
functional and are not viable for repair.

L’expression « appareil électrique » employée dans les présentes consignes recouvre aussi
bien les appareils filaires à brancher sur le secteur que les appareils sans fils fonctionnant
sous batterie.

-1

Sécurité sur la zone de travail

a) Maintenir une zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Des zones encombrées et

mal éclairées sont sources d’accidents.

b) Ne pas utiliser d’outils électriques dans des environnements explosifs, tels

qu’à proximité de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inflammables. Les appareils

électriques produisent des étincelles susceptibles d’enflammer la poussière ou les
vapeurs présentes.

c) Eloigner les enfants et les passants pendant l’utilisation d’un appareil

électrique. Ceux-ci peuvent provoquer une perte d’attention et faire perdre la

maîtrise de l’appareil.

Sécurité électrique

a) La prise d’un appareil électrique doit être adaptée à la prise du secteur. Ne

jamais modifier la prise en aucune façon. Ne jamais utiliser d’adaptateur sur la
prise électrique d’appareil mis à la terre. Des prises non modifiées, adaptées aux

boîtiers de prise de courant, réduiront le risque de décharge électrique.

b) Eviter le contact corporel avec les surfaces mises à la terre telles que tuyaux,

radiateurs, cuisinières et réfrigérateurs. Le risque de décharge électrique est plus

important si le corps est mis à la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer l’appareil électrique à la pluie ou à l’humidité. L’infiltration d’eau

dans un appareil électrique accroît le risque de décharge électrique.

d) Ne pas maltraiter le cordon électrique. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon électrique

pour porter, tirer ou débrancher l’appareil. Protéger le cordon électrique de la
chaleur, du contact avec l’essence, des bords tranchants et pièces rotatives.

Un cordon électrique endommagé ou entortillé accroît le risque de décharge
électrique.

e) Lors d’une utilisation de l’appareil électrique en extérieur, se servir d’une

rallonge appropriée à une utilisation en extérieur. Cela réduit le risque de

décharge électrique.

f) Si une utilisation de l’appareil électrique dans un environnement humide

ne peut être évitée, utiliser une alimentation protégée par un disjoncteur
différentiel. L’utilisation d’un disjoncteur différentiel réduit le risque de décharge

électrique.

Sécurité des personnes

a) Rester vigilent et faire preuve de bon sens lors de la manipulation de l’appareil.

Ne pas utiliser un appareil électrique lorsque l’on se trouve dans un état
de fatigue, ou sous l’influence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un

moment d’inattention pendant l’utilisation d’un outil électrique peut se traduire par
des blessures graves.
