WARNING! Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below, may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious personal injury. The term ‘power
tool’ in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered worksites and dark areas invite accidents.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquid,
gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.

1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all codes and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the
outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding
provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user.

2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

3. Don’t expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.

4. Don’t abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace damaged cords immediately.
Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock.

5. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These
cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.

3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off before plugging in. Plugging in tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.

4. Remove adjusting keys or switches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

5. Do not overreach. Keep a proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

6. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

1. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

2. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

4. Store idle tools out of reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5. Maintain tools with care. Properly maintained tools are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

6. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that
may affect the tools operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.

7. Use the power tool, accessories and blades 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 those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

Have your 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:

To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.

Tool Use & Care

Service

1. Keep hands away from rotating sanding head area at all times!

2. Prolonged breathing of airborne dust from plasterboard sanding may effect respiratory function
or cause serious respiratory illness. To reduce exposure to dust always wear approved protective
equipment*, ensure Power Sander is connected to a vacuum approved for fine dust extraction and
operate the tool in a well ventilated area.

*Wear Eye Protection to AS/NZS1337.
*Wear Respiratory Protection to AS/NZS1716.
*Wear Hearing Protection to AS/NZS1270

3. Sanding LEAD-BASED paint is extremely toxic and should not be attempted. Only allow
professionals with special training and equipment to perform this task.

4. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. Do not overreach. Use proper scaffolding

5. Always wear appropriate safety equipment when operating.

6. Important: After completing sanding, switch off the switch and wait for the coasting sanding head
to stop completely before putting the tool down.

7. Never operate the tool in an area with flammable solids, liquids, or gases. Sparks from the
commutator/carbon brushes could cause a fire or explosion.

8. There are certain applications for which this tool was designed. The manufacturer strongly
recommends that this tool NOT be modified and/or used for any application other than for which
it was designed. If you have any questions relative to its application DO NOT use the tool until you
have written to the manufacturer and have been advised.

9. Use the machine with both hands at all times. Loss of control can cause personal injury.

10. Keep power supply cord clear from the working range of the machine. Always lead the cable away
behind you.

11. Immediately switch off the machine if unusual vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the
machine in order to find out the cause.

This Electric Plasterboard Sander is specially designed for the most efficient sanding of plasterboard
or plaster walls and ceilings for both new construction and renovation work. It is designed to work in
conjunction with a vacuum cleaner for minimum dust and best sanding results. The pivoting sanding
head allows excellent results with minimum time and effort.

Electrical connection

The network voltage must conform to the voltage indicated on the tool name plate. Under no
circumstances should the tool be used when the power supply cable is damaged. A damaged cable
must be replaced immediately by an authorized Customer Service Center. Do not try to repair the
damaged cable yourself. The use of damaged power cables can lead to an electric shock.

Extension cable

If an extension cable is required, it must have a sufficient cross-section so as to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead to failure
of the motor. The following table shows you the correct cable diameter as a function of the cable length
for this machine. Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cables. Never use two extension cables
together. Instead, use one long one.
