GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WORK AREA
1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite
accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite dust or fumes.
3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. Power tools must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use adaptor plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.
Correct plugs and outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
2. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Any water entering
power tools will increase the risk of electric shock.
3. Do not abuse the electrical cable. Never use the cord for pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep the cable away from sources of heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or tangled cables increase the
risk of electric shock.
4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable
for outdoor use. Using the correct cable reduces the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when you
are operating a power tool. Do not operate a power tool when you are
tired, ill or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication.
2. Wear personal protective equipment including eye protection. Safety
equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid shoes or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Use a face or dust
mask if operation is particularly dusty. Wear ear protectors/defenders as
the noise level of this machine can exceed 85dB (A). If working at floor
level, always wear knee pads.
3. Do not over-reach. Keep your proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
4. Avoid accidental starting of the machine. Ensure the switch is in the off
position and the locking button disengaged before plugging the machine
in to the power supply. Carrying power tools around with your finger on
the trigger or plugging in power tools that are switched on invites
accidents.

5
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400/E-mail:Part[email protected] or [email protected]
5. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery which may get
caught in moving parts. Wear protective hair covering to contain long
hair. For best footing, wear rubber soled footwear. Keep floor clear of oil,
scrap wood, etc.
6. Concentrate on the job in hand, no matter how trivial it may seem. Be
aware that accidents are caused by carelessness due to familiarity.
7. Switch the machine OFF immediately after the task is completed.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the machine. Use the correct power tool for your application.
It will do a better and safer job at the rate for which it was designed.
2. 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.
3. Disconnect the power tool from the power supply before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. These measures will
reduce the risk of the power tool starting accidentally.
4. Store power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Maintain power tools in top condition. Keep tools/ machines clean for the
best and safest performance. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, broken parts, or any 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.
6. Use recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories could be
hazardous.
7. Machine cleanliness. Do not allow the ventilation slots in the machine to
become blocked with dust.
8. Check the power tool for damage before using the machine. Any
damaged part should be inspected to ensure that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mountings, and any other condition that may affect
the machine’s operation. Any damage should be properly repaired or the
part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use the machine. Consult your local
dealer.
SERVICE
1. When necessary, have your power tools serviced or repaired by a
qualified person using identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additionally, please keep these instructions in a safe place for future
reference.

OPERATION
• Whether polishing or sanding, always ensure the workpiece is securely
fixed, i.e. clamped to a workbench or secured in a vice.

will then run. Press and hold the trigger lock button whilst holding the
trigger in and the tool will run continuously. To release the button, squeeze
the trigger, then release and the motor will stop.
2. Adjust the speed control to the desired working speed.
3. Slowly apply the sander/polisher to the workpiece and proceed to sand or
polish. Move the disc across the work applying a light even pressure.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE WORKING POSITION ADOPTED DOES NOT
CAUSE OPERATOR FATIGUE WHICH MAY LEAD TO LOSS OF CONTROL.
• If it is necessary to change the speed, always lift the disc from the work
surface, adjust the speed control to the required speed then reapply to
the work surface and continue as before.
4. On completion, lift the sander/polisher from the work surface and release
the trigger.

MAINTENANCE
Before commencing any maintenance procedures, always ensure the
sander/polisher is isolated from the electrical supply by switching off and
removing the plug from the power socket.

2. Ensure all fixing screws remain tight to ensure the tool is in safe working
condition.

approximately 13 mm long), fit new brushes when or before they are worn
down to 5 mm.
• All bearings etc, in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high
grade lubricant for the tools lifetime under normal operating conditions,
