SAFETY AND OPERATING MANUAL
ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS
PALM SANDER WU645 WU645.1
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.
1
WORK AREA
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. Use of an
RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
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 safety 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 offposition 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
2
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 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.
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.

and secured underneath both Locked Clamps (3). This will
ensure safe and efficient sanding performance.
4
CHANGING HOOK & LOOP SANDING PAPER
(ONLY FOR WU645)
The sanding paper and baseplate are provided with a hook and
loop attachment system to allow quick and easy changing of the
sanding and polishing accessories. Remove any dust or other
objects from the hook and loop on the baseplate and sanding
paper. Position the sanding paper evenly on the baseplate
and firmly press down to attach them together. If the sanding
paperhas dust extraction holes you must align these with the
holes in the baseplate, otherwise the dust extraction will not
function. To remove the sanding paper lift one corner of the
paper and pull it off from the baseplate (See Fig. B.2).
5
PAPER PUNCH
If using sanding paper without dust holes, use the paper punch
(7) to perforate the holes to ensure correct dust extraction.
Position the punch over the base-plate (8) with the punch sides
on the edges of the base-plate (See Fig. C). Press the punch
into the base-plate to punch holes into the sanding paper. Then
remove the punch and check all the holes have been formed
correctly.
6
DUST BAG
Always operate your sander with the dust bag fitted. For the
best performance always empty the dust bag in time. Open the
zip and empty the dust from the bag. To remove the bag ,slide
the mounting bracket out and away from the sander

(See Fig. D). To refit the bag, firmly push the mounting bracket
into the location on the sander housing (See Fig. E).
For best performance always empty the dust bag when it is half
full.
7
FLUSH SANDING FACILITY
Your sander can sand flush on three sides of the base-plate
which allows easy access to corners and edges of moulding
(See Fig. F).
8
ORBITAL SANDING
Your sander operates in small circular rotations which allows
efficient material removal.
Operate your sander in long sweeping movements across your
workpiece and even across the grain. For a finer finish, always
use a fine grain Sanding Paper and only move the sander in the
direction of the grain and never across the grain.
Do not allow your sander to remain in the same position
otherwise you will remove material and create and uneven
surface.
Work hints for your palm sander
If your power tool becomes too hot, run no load for 2-3 minutes
to cool the motor.
Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to
prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the
sanding finish.
F
10
Start your sander before sanding and turn off only after
stopping sanding. For best results sand wood in the direction of
the grit.
Do not start sanding without Sanding Paper fitted.
Do not allow the Sanding Paper to wear away, it will damage
the base-plate. The guarantee does not cover base-plate wear
and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for
smooth surfaces and fine grit for the final surfaces. If necessary,
first make a test on scrap material.
Use only good quality Sanding Paper.
The sanding efficiency is controlled by the Sanding Paper not
the amount of force you apply to the tool. Excessive force
will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor overload.
Replacing the sanding paper regularly will maintain optimum
sanding efficiency.
Maintenance
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing 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 and will not damage your power tool.
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.
Environmental protection
Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with
household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check
with your local authorities or retailer for recycling advice.
