CAUTION: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not cov-

er all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by
the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built
into this product, but must be applied.

When using the sander always ensure the operator as well as those in the
area wear eye protection.

Sanding operations will cause dust to become airborne with the potential to be
highly toxic; always wear a face mask during these operations, as well as ensuring
the area is well ventilated. It is also highly recommended to use a dust collector to
reduce airborne particles.

When using this sander, it is advisable to ensure the operator as well as
those in the area wear ear protection, particularly during extended periods
of use.

WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand

and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe.
You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for wear or
damage.
You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appro­priate safety devices; A residual current circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated
in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a residual current Device
(RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are
plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a
qualified electrician.

Connecting to the power supply:

This SIP sander is fitted with a standard 230v ~ 13 amp type plug. Before using the
machine, inspect the mains lead and plug to ensure that neither are damaged. If
any damage is visible have the machine inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified
person. If it is necessary to replace the plug a heavy duty impact resistant plug would
be preferable.

The wires for the plug are coloured in the following way:

Yellow / green Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live

As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the markings in your plug, pro­ceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal
marked with N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown, must be connect­ed to the terminal, which is marked L or coloured red. The wire which is coloured yel­low / green should be connected to the terminal which is coloured the same or
marked

Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and tightly. Secure the cable in
the cord grip carefully.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

8

Note: Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and the

correct fuse protection is used. In the event of replacing the fuse always
replace the fuse with the same value as the original.

Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the plug. Only

fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse. If in doubt consult a qualified elec­trician.

GUARANTEE

Note: Proof of purchase will be required before any warranty can be hon­oured.

Note: If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply;
ensure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating.

Note: The cross section of the extension lead should be checked so that it is
of sufficient size so as to reduce the chances of voltage drops.

Guarantee:

This SIP belt / disc sander is covered by a 12 month parts and labour warranty, cover­ing failure due to manufacturers defects. This does not cover failure due to misuse or

outside the scope of the warranty may be subject to charges including, but not lim­ited to parts, labour and carriage costs. Consumable items such as fuses, sanding
belts and discs are not covered by the warranty.

In the unlikely event of warranty claims, contact your distributor as soon as possible.
Proof of purchase will be required before any warranty can be honoured.

Note: Always sand on the right (downward) side of the sanding disc (1) as

shown. Sanding on the left (upward) side of the sanding disc could
cause the work piece to jump or kickback.

Note: The edge of the table must be positioned a maximum of 1.6 mm
from the sanding disc to avoid trapping the work piece or fingers between
the disc table and sanding disc.

Freeha nd sanding of outside
curves should be done on the
sanding disc (1). Keep fingers a
minimum of 1 in. (25.4 mm) from
the sanding disc.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Note: To avoid injury, turn switch OFF and disconnect the plug from the
power source before removing and installing sanding belt.

Replacing the sanding disc.

Note: A sanding disc is pre-mounted at the factory. Use only sanding discs

that measures 8 in. (203 mm) in diameter.

When using the sanding belt in the horizon­tal position, to perform surface or edge
sanding, the belt worktable (1) must always
be used. Always hold the work piece (2)
firmly, keeping your fingers away from the
sanding belt . Always keep the end of the
work piece against the belt worktable (1)
and move the work evenly across the
sanding belt. Apply only enough pressure
to allow the sanding belt to remove mate­rial. Use extra caution when sanding very
thin pieces.
