SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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.
2. 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. This can help to minimise
the risk of an electrical shock if an earth fault or short circuits occurs.
g. If using a power cable extension ensure that the cable is fully unwound
and that its length is less than 30m. Lengths over 30m will effect the tools
performance as a result of voltage drop.
3. 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-
Page 5
800W BELT SANDER TTB136SDR
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.
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 these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and 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 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 tools 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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5. 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.

HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be
produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working with,
this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).
You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should:
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
-Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR SANDER
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
1. If the supply cord is damaged have it replaced by a qualified person.
2.Never use this sander for wet sanding or liquid polishing. Failure to follow this rule
may result in risk of electrical shock.
3.Always inspect and remove all nails and screws etc from timber before sanding.
4.Ensure the workpiece is firmly clamped to prevent movement.
5.Your sander is a hand held tool, do not clamp your finishing sander.
6.Never stop the sander by applying a force to the base plate.
7.Only use sanding paper in good condition. Do not use torn or worn sanding paper.

VIBRATION
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive has been brought in to help
reduce hand arm vibration syndrome injuries to power tool users. The directive
requires power tool manufacturers and suppliers to provide indicative vibration test
results to enable users to make informed decisions as to the period of time a power
tool can be used safely on a daily basis and the choice of tool.
Further Advice can be found at www.hse.gov.uk
Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN60745:
Work mode description 1 Vibration emission value ah = 4.38m/s²
Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s²
The declared vibration emission value should be used as a minimum level and
should be used with the current guidance on vibration.
Calculating the actual period of the actual period off use can be difficult and the HSE
website has further information.
The declared vibration emission been measured in accordance with a standardised
test stated above and may be used to compare one tool with another
The declared vibration emission value may also be used in a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
Warning: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can
differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used
dependant on the following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good
condition.
The tightness of the grip on the handles.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed
Warning: identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an
estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all
parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and
when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).Note The use of other tools will
reduce the users’ total working period on this tool.
Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated
Page 8
(where appropriate)
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10°C or less
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of
days.
Health Surveillance
All employees should be part of an employer’s health surveillance scheme to help
identity any vibration related diseases at an early stage, prevent disease progression
and help employees stay in work.
DOUBLE INSULATION:
The tool is double insulated. This means that all the external metal parts are electrically
insulated from the mains power supply. This is done by placing insulation barriers
between the electrical and mechanical components making it unnecessary for the tool
to be earthed.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your tool rating plate voltage.
Remove the mains plug from socket before carrying out any adjustment or servicing.

6. REPLACING CARBON BRUSHES (See
Fig. H)
Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly.
When they are worn to length of about 6mm,
both carbon brushes should be replaced with
new ones at the same time. When changing
worn carbon brushes, use a slotted screwdriver
to remove the brush holder caps. Take out the
worn carbon brushes, insert the new ones and
make sure the carbon brushes moving freely
in the brush holders. Finally, secure the brush
holder caps.
7. INSPECTING THE SANDING BELT
Since continued use of a worn-out sanding belt
will degrade efficiency, replace the sanding belt
as soon as excessive abrasion is noted.
CLEANING
The air-vent of the tool should be cleaned
regularly to prevent the motor from become too
hot due to air-vent blockage.
Attention: Avoid using solvents when cleaning
plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to
damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Remove the pieces and all sending dust with a
broom and clean tack cloth.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
SANDER
1. Your sander is useful for working on wood,
metal, painted surface. It will smooth surfaces
prior to painting, even where fillers have been
used and left proud.
2. Your sander is best suited to large flat areas
such as doors but can also be used on skirting
boards, windows, etc, provided they are
accessible.
3. Different types of sanding belt will allow the
sander to meet various needs. Different grades
of sanding belt are available, the higher grade
number, the finer the grit. For rough work start
with a low grade of grit (i.e. 60 grade) and
change to a higher, finer grade (i.e. 100 or 120)
for finishing. If you use a fine grade for rough
surfaces it will soon clog and need changing.
4. At all times, let the sander do the work-do
not force it or apply excessive pressure to the
sanding belt.
5. If the surface shows excessive making from the
abrasive motion, you may be using a grit which
is too coarse or applying too much pressure.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional
lubrication or maintenance. There are no user
serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use
water or chemical cleaners to clean your power
tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store
your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor
ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls
free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks
through the ventilation slots. This is normal. If the
supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by
the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

800W BELT SANDER TTB136SDR
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If your sander will not operate, check the power
at the mains plug.
2. If the sander does not abrade surface, checking
the sanding belt. If the sanding belt have been
worn, replace the new sanding belt and try again.
The sanding belt must be kept in a dry place.
3. If a fault can not be rectified return the sander
to an authorised dealer for repair.
