WARNING: Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, re and
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future use.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your
main-operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutter or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable 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. Unmodied 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 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) or ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI ) protected supply. Use of a RCD or GFCI
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 inuence 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 injury.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure switch is in
o󰀨-position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your nger on the switch or energizing
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjustment wrench or key before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or 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 jewelry.
Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, 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. It is recommendation that the
tool always be supplied via a residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30mA or less.
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 o󰀨. 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 preventative 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 a󰀨ect 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 di󰀨erent from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have the power tool serviced by a qualied repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
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.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings

6
EN
1. This power tool is intended to function as a
sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions and
specications provided with this power tool. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, re, or personal injury.
2. Operations such as grinding, wire brushing,
polishing or cutting-o󰀨, are not recommended to
be performed with this power tool. Operations
for which the tool was not designed may create a
hazard and cause personal injury.
3. Do not use accessories which are not specically
designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
4. The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and y apart.
5. The outside diameter and thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories
cannot be adequately guard or controlled.
6. The arbor size of wheels, anges, backing pads
or any other accessory must t the spindle of the
power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that do
not match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
7. Do not use damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheel for
chips or cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting or installing an accessory, position
yourself or bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this
time.
8. Wear personal protective equipment. Depending
on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron
capable of stopping ying debris generated by
various operations. The eye protection must be
capable of stopping ying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of ltering particles generated
by your operations. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
9. Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment. Fragments of work
piece or a broken accessory mayy away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
10. Hold power tool by gripping insulated surfaces
(handle) only, when performing an operation where
the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live”
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool “live” and shock the operator.
11. Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
you loose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your arm or hand may be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
12. Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
13. Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
14. Regularly clean the power tools air vents. The
motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation may cause electrical
hazards.
15. Do not operate the power tool near ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
16. Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations
when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding
paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents
a laceration hazard and may cause snagging,
tearing of the disc or kickback.
17. Risk of explosion. Floor sanding can result in an
explosive mixture of ne dust and air. Use oor
sanding machine only in a well-ventilated area free
from any ame or match.
Safety Warnings for Sanding Operations

EN
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any
other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating backing pad which in turn causes
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the opposite
direction of the backing pad’s rotation at the point of the
binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or
pinched by the work piece, the edge of the wheel that
is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface
of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick
out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from
the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s
movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels
may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and
incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can
be avoided by taking proper precautions as given
below.
1. Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arms to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handles, if provided
for maximum control over kickback or torque
reactions during start up. The operator can control
torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
3. Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will
propel the tool in the direction opposite to the
wheel’s movement at the point of the snagging.
4. Use special care when working corners, sharp
edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing
have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory
and cause loss of control or kickback.
1. Empty the dust bag or dust collection receiver
frequently. Do not leave residue in dust bag or dust
collection receiver unattended. Always empty in a
non-combustible metal container. Sanding wood
or varnish produces dust that can self ignite and
cause injury or damage. Follow this precaution for
storage.
2. Set all exposed nails. Sweep loose abrasive away
from work area. Do not strike metal pipes, etc.,
with sanding paper. Striking metal or abrasive
particles with sanding paper produces sparks that
could ignite the sanding dust which can cause
injury or damage.
3. Do not operate a partially assemble power tool.
Keep all adjustments within manufacturer’s
specications. Keep all fasteners tight. Operating
a partially assembled power tool could result in
injury to the operator or bystander and could cause
damage to the equipment or surroundings.
4. Do not attempt to change the sanding paper while
the power tool is running. The sanding pad can
snag clothing and cause injury to limbs and moving
sanding paper can cause abrasions.
5. The power tool should only be used on an electrical
system (mains) that is rated for the electrical
requirements of the power tool as shown on the
nameplate. Use only on an earthing (grounded)
system. Do not service the power tool if it is
energized or connected to an electrical circuit.
Improper use could cause re or electric shock.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Move machine to the location of your work. Set any exposed nails with ham-
mer and punch to avoid encounter with abrasive.
WARNING: Bodily injury could occur if power is applied to
the machine with the power switch already in the “ON” position. Always
check to assure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before
applying power to the power cable.
2. Make sure the control switch is in the “Off” position then connect the supply
cable to an appropriately grounded fused circuit. Connect the supply cable to
the motor pigtail. (Figure 5)
3. With the machine in the reclined position rmly grasp both handles and ip the
control switch to the “ON” position. (Figure 4.)
4. Gradually lower pad to surface intended for sanding. Make sure the ma-
chine is in motion while the pad is engaged with the surface to be sanded.
You may use broad circular motion as you sand along the length of the
surface or your may use a combination of forward and sideward motions.
In time you will develop your own technique to optimize coverage and dust
recovery. It is advisable to not add effort to the pad as this may lead to “nos-
ing in” or “tipping” which produces grooves or lines on the surface.
5. When replacing abrasive, emptying the contents of the dust bag, or sanding
operation is completed, return machine to reclined position, ip control
switch to “Off” then disconnect the motor pigtail from the supply cable.
6. Empty dust bag whenever it becomes 1/3 full.

MACHINE SET-UP
Preparing the Machine for Operation
1. Familiarize yourself with the machine. Read all danger, warning, and caution
statements and the Owner’s Manual before operating this machine. If you or
your operator cannot read English, have this manual explained fully before
attempting to operate this machine.
2. Remove screw and abrasive retainer. Center abrasive on pad and secure with
abrasive retainer and screw. (Figure 3)
3. Return machine to upright position and tilt machine back on casters until it
comes to rest on the exhaust bracket. Machine will be in a reclined position.
Do not allow machine to rest on pad especially after use, or compression set
may take place within elastomer on pad. This will create a at spot and bounce
during use. (Figure 4)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Move machine to the location of your work. Set any exposed nails with ham-
mer and punch to avoid encounter with abrasive.
WARNING: Bodily injury could occur if power is applied to
the machine with the power switch already in the “ON” position. Always
check to assure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before
applying power to the power cable.
2. Make sure the control switch is in the “Off” position then connect the supply
cable to an appropriately grounded fused circuit. Connect the supply cable to
the motor pigtail. (Figure 5)
3. With the machine in the reclined position rmly grasp both handles and ip the
control switch to the “ON” position. (Figure 4.)
4. Gradually lower pad to surface intended for sanding. Make sure the ma-
chine is in motion while the pad is engaged with the surface to be sanded.
You may use broad circular motion as you sand along the length of the
surface or your may use a combination of forward and sideward motions.
In time you will develop your own technique to optimize coverage and dust
recovery. It is advisable to not add effort to the pad as this may lead to “nos-
ing in” or “tipping” which produces grooves or lines on the surface.
5. When replacing abrasive, emptying the contents of the dust bag, or sanding
operation is completed, return machine to reclined position, ip control
switch to “Off” then disconnect the motor pigtail from the supply cable.
6. Empty dust bag whenever it becomes 1/3 full.

Adjustment Procedures
Routine Maintenance
EN
Leveling
To level machine: Grasp caster adjusting screw “A” with an appropriate
tool (pliers ect.). Using a similar tool, loosen locknut “B” with a counter
clockwise motion. (Figure 6).
Condition - Pad creates ridges on both edges or a “hop” is experi-
enced: Rotate both adjusting screws equal amounts clockwise. Tighten
locknuts and test on a piece of plywood. Repeat procedure until condi-
tion is corrected. We recommend you not exceed 1/8” rotation for each
attempt.
Condition - Pad creates a ridge on the tip of the pad: Rotate both
adjusting screws counter clockwise, tighten locknuts and test. Repeat
procedure until condition is corrected. Use only 1/8 rotation for each
attempt.
Condition - Pad creates a ridge on only one side of the pad: Either
rotate the adjusting screw of the side effected clockwise or rotate the
adjusting screw opposite counterclockwise, depending on whether the
ridge terminates beyond the tip of the pad or prior to it. If it is prior to
the tip, adjust the side effected, otherwise adjust the opposite side.

ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
CAUTION: Failure to perform maintenance at
recommended intervals may void warranty.
Carbon Brushes
Have the carbon brushes replaced at least every 500 hours and more
frequently under heavy use.
Dust Bag
Periodically the dust bag should be turned inside out, shaken vigor-
ously and machine washed in cold water
to prevent pore blockage and loss of dust control.
Bearings
To insure reliable performance, have armature and pad driver
bearings inspected for wear or damage after every 1500
hours. If used heavily, have the bearings replaced seasonally.
Lubrication
The machine comes fully lubricated. The gears in the gear
box have enough lubrication for approximately six months of
normal operation. Have the lubricant changed at least every
6 months or more frequently under heavy use.

Operación de la máquina
1. Desplace la máquina al lugar de trabajo. Fije cualquier anillo expuesto con
martillo y embutidor para evitar que se tope con el abrasivo. Conecte el cable
de alimentación a un circuito adecuadamente provisto de toma de tierra y
fusibles.
ADVERTENCIA: Pueden producirse lesiones corporales
si se aplica potencia a la máquina con el interruptor de control colocado
en la posición “ON” (Encendido). Verique siempre que el interruptor de
control se encuentre en posición “OFF” (Apagado) antes de enchufar el
cable de alimentación.
2. Asegúrese de que el interruptor de control esté ajustado en “OFF” (Apagado).
Para la posición “OFF” (Apagado), el interruptor se mueve hacia el lado del
operador. Vea la marca en el interruptor. Conecte el cable de alimentación al
cable eléctrico del motor. (Figura 5)
3. Con la máquina en posición recli nada, tome rmemente las dos manijas y
mueva el interruptor de control a la posición “ON” (Encendido). (Figura 4)
4. Baje gradualmente la almohadilla a la supercie destinada a ser lijada.
Asegúrese de que la máquina esté en movimiento mientras la almohadilla
está engranada con la supercie a lijar. Puede usar un movimiento circu-
lar amplio mientras lija a lo largo de la supercie o una combinación de
movimientos hacia adelante y hacia los costados. Con el tiempo desarrollará
su propia técnica, lo cual le permitirá optimizar la cobertura y la recolección
de polvo. Es aconsejable no agregar esfuerzo a la almohadilla ya que esto
podría conducir a la “elevación de la parte delantera” o a la “inclinación” y
como resultado quedarían ranuras o líneas en la supercie.
5. Al cambiar el abrasivo, vacíe el contenido de la bolsa de polvo o, al terminar
el lijado, vuelva a dejar la máquina en la posición reclinada, desactive el inter-
ruptor de control en la posición “OFF” (Apagado), luego desconecte el cable
eléctrico del motor del cable de alimentación.
6. Vacíe la bolsa de polvo cada vez que se llene hasta 1/3 de su capacidad.

resultado quedarían ranuras o líneas en la supercie.

MACHINE SET-UP
Preparing the Machine for Operation
1. Familiarize yourself with the machine. Read all danger, warning, and caution
statements and the Owner’s Manual before operating this machine. If you or
your operator cannot read English, have this manual explained fully before
attempting to operate this machine.
2. Remove screw and abrasive retainer. Center abrasive on pad and secure with
abrasive retainer and screw. (Figure 3)
3. Return machine to upright position and tilt machine back on casters until it
comes to rest on the exhaust bracket. Machine will be in a reclined position.
Do not allow machine to rest on pad especially after use, or compression set
may take place within elastomer on pad. This will create a at spot and bounce
during use. (Figure 4)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Move machine to the location of your work. Set any exposed nails with ham-
mer and punch to avoid encounter with abrasive.
WARNING: Bodily injury could occur if power is applied to
the machine with the power switch already in the “ON” position. Always
check to assure that the power switch is in the “OFF” position before
applying power to the power cable.
2. Make sure the control switch is in the “Off” position then connect the supply
cable to an appropriately grounded fused circuit. Connect the supply cable to
the motor pigtail. (Figure 5)
3. With the machine in the reclined position rmly grasp both handles and ip the
control switch to the “ON” position. (Figure 4.)
4. Gradually lower pad to surface intended for sanding. Make sure the ma-
chine is in motion while the pad is engaged with the surface to be sanded.
You may use broad circular motion as you sand along the length of the
surface or your may use a combination of forward and sideward motions.
In time you will develop your own technique to optimize coverage and dust
recovery. It is advisable to not add effort to the pad as this may lead to “nos-
ing in” or “tipping” which produces grooves or lines on the surface.
5. When replacing abrasive, emptying the contents of the dust bag, or sanding
operation is completed, return machine to reclined position, ip control
switch to “Off” then disconnect the motor pigtail from the supply cable.
6. Empty dust bag whenever it becomes 1/3 full.
