SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation
and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to property, may result.
1. ALWAYS Learn the machines’ applications, limitations and the specific potential hazards
peculiar to it. Read and become familiar with the entire operating
manual.
2. ALWAYS use a face or dust mask if operation is particularly
dusty.
3. ALWAYS check for damage. Before using the machine, any damaged
part, should be checked 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 machines’ operation. Any damage should be properly
repaired or the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use the machine. Consult your
local dealer.
4. ALWAYS disconnect the tool/machine from the power supply before servicing and when
changing accessories.
5. ALWAYS wear safety goggles, manufactured to the latest European Safety Standards.
Everyday eyeglasses do not have impact resistant lenses, they are not safety glasses.
6. ALWAYS keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches
invite accidents.
7. ALWAYS ensure that adequate lighting is available. A minimum
intensity of 300 lux should be provided. Ensure that lighting is
placed so that you will not be working in your own shadow.
8. ALWAYS keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe distance from the work
area, especially whilst operating the machine.
9. ALWAYS maintain machine in top condition. Keep tools/machines
clean for the best and safest performance. Follow maintenance
instructions.
10. ALWAYS handle with extreme care do not carry the tool/machine
by its’ electric cable, or yank the cable to disconnect it from the
power supply .
11. ALWAYS ensure the switch is off before plugging in to mains. Avoid accidental starting.
12. ALWAYS concentrate on the job in hand, no matter how
trivial it may seem. Be aware that accidents are caused
by carelessness due to familiarity.
13. ALWAYS keep your proper footing and balance at all times

changing parts, or working on the machine.
17. NEVER operate machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or any medication.
18. NEVER leave machine running unattended. turn power off. Do
not leave the machine until it comes to a complete stop.
19. NEVER force the machine. it will do a better and safer job at
the rate for which it was designed.
20. NEVER use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose
them to rain. Keep your work area well illuminated. do not use
in explosive atmosphere (around paint, flammable liquids etc.).
Avoid dangerous environment.
Additional Precautions For Power Tools
1. ALWAYS wear ear protectors/defenders as the noise level of this machine can exceed
85dB (A).
2. ALWAYS use the appropriate sanding pads for the work being done. Replacement
pads are available from your CLARKE dealer (see parts list for details).
3. ALWAYS keep the mains cable well away from the machine and ensure an adequate
electrical supply is close at hand so that the operation is not restricted by the length of
the cable.
4. ALWAYS switch the machine OFF immediately the task is completed.
5. NEVER allow the ventilation slots in the machine to become blocked.
6. DO NOT use the machine if the electric cable, plug or motor is in poor condition.
7. DONOT exert pressure on the sander to stop quickly, allow it to stop normally.
Additionally, please keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
DUST EXTRACTION
The sander is provided with a dust extraction facility, where a vacuum extractor, or dust
bag (not supplied), may be connected to the outlet at the rear of the machine. Please
note however, that this does not preclude the user from wearing a face mask to prevent
the inhalation of dust particles.
It is an EEC requirement that a dust extraction facility be provided on power tools, however,
due to the nature of the tool, some of the dust produced will be forced into the surrounding
atmosphere, and will not be collected.

Electrical Connections
This product is provided with a standard 13 amp, 230 volt (50Hz), BS 1363 plug, for
connection to a standard, domestic electrical supply. Should the plug need changing at
any time, ensure that a plug of identical specification is used.
WARNING
This appliance is Double Insulated, and the two wires in the mains lead should
be wired up in accordance with the following colour code:
BLUE - NEUTRAL
BROWN - LIVE
• Connect the BLUE coloured cord to the plug terminal marked a letter “N”
• Connect the BROWN coloured cord to the plug terminal marked a letter “L”
If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded on
to the electric cable (i.e. non-rewireable) please note:
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut from the
electric cable. There is a danger
of electric shock if it is subsequently
inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse
cover fitted.
3. Should you wish to replace a
detachable fuse carrier, ensure that
the correct replacement is used (as
indicated by marking or colour code).
4. Replacement fuse covers can be
obtained from your local Clarke dealer or most electrical stockists.
FUSE RATING
The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (5 amps) and this
replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.
CABLE EXTENSION.
Always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see
specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as that on the
machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

Maintenance
Trouble Shooting
Sander is overheating
This indicates the machine is dirty. Clean the ventilation holes, and blow out with compressed
air or clean with a dry cloth.
Overloading the machine will also cause overheating. Do not use for heavy duty work, and
do not apply excessive pressure.
Excessive sparking occurs
This indicates worn brushes. This problem is quickly remedied but you should consult your
CLARKE dealer for parts and advice.
Sander does not operate when switched ON
Check to ensure the fuse is sound and replace if necessary. If the fuse is sound or the blows
Always inspect the tool before use, and ensure it is in top condition.
Ensure all air vents are clear, (use compressed air to clean the machine where possible).
Check the power cable to ensure it is sound and free from cracks, bare wires etc. avoid
using solvents when cleaning plastic parts, most plastics are susceptible to damage from
the various types of commercial solvents.
All bearings etc., in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant
for the tools lifetime under normal operating conditions, therefore no further lubrication is
required.
Operation
1. Fitting Sanding Pad.
a) Select pad to be used. (MUST be correct pads with velcro fitting ability).
b) Ensure sander is switched OFF and plug is removed from socket.
c) Line up holes in pad with those on machine pad. (this is necessary for dust
extraction), press pad firmly onto machine pad to secure it.
2. Dust Collection.
The dust collection bag/suction, (not supplied), is fitted to sander duct on sander
handgrip, below the mains cable.
Note :
If using a dust bag, it must be emptied regularly, do not wait until it is completely full.
To operate, plug into the mains supply then switch ON by sliding the switch, on top of the
unit, backwards. A speed selector wheel mounted behind the ON/OFF switch, allows the
sander to operate at speeds appropriate for the job in hand.
Offer sander to workpiece and work slowly backwards and forwards across the area to be
sanded until finished. Remove sander from workpiece and slide switch forwards to switch
OFF, (Wait until machine has stopped completely before putting it down.

Vibration Emissions
MODEL No: CDS1V
DESCRIPTION: DETAIL SANDER
Declared vibration emmission value in accordance
with EN12096
Measured vibration emmission value - a: 7.07m/s2
Uncertainty value - K: 1.48m/s2
Values determined according to EN28622-1
Employers are advised to refer to the HSE publication “Guide for Employers”.
All hand held power tools vibrate to some extent, and this vibration is transmitted to the
operator via the handle, or hand used to steady the tool. Vibration from about 2 to 1500
herz is potentially damaging and is most hazardous in the range from about 5 to 20 herz.
Operators who are regularly exposed to vibration may suffer from HandArm Vibration
Syndrome (HAVS), which includes ‘dead hand’, ‘dead finger’, and ‘white finger’. These
are painful conditions and are widespread in industries where vibrating tools are used.
The health risk depends upon the vibration level and the length of time of exposure to
it……in effect, a daily vibration dose.
Tools aretestedusingspecialisedequipment, to approximate thevibrationlevelgenerated
under normal, acceptable operating conditions for the tool in question. For example, a
grinder used at 45° on mild steel plate, or a sander on softwood in a horizontal plane etc.
These tests produce a value‘a’, expressed in metres per second per second, which
represents the average vibration level of all tests taken, in three axes where necessary,
and a second figure ‘K’, which represents the uncertainty factor, i.e. a value in excess of
‘a’, to which the tool could vibrate under normal conditions. These values appear in the
specification panel below.
HAND-ARMVIBRATION

-10-
You will note that a third value is given in the specification - the highest measured
reading in a single plane. This is the maximum level of vibration measured during testing
in one of the axes, and this should also be taken into account when making a risk
assessment.
‘a’ values in excess of 2.5 m/s2are considered hazardous when used for prolonged
periods. A tool with a vibration value of 2.8 m/s2may be used for up to 8 hours
(cumulative) per day, whereas a tool with a value of 11.2 m/s2may be used for ½ hour
per day only.
The graph below shows the vibration value against the maximum time the respective
tool may be used, per day.
The uncertainty factor should also be taken into account when assessing a risk. The two
figures ‘a’ and ‘K’may be added together and the resulant value used to assess the risk.
It should be noted that if a tool is used under abnormal, or unusual conditions, then the
vibration level could possibly increase significantly. Users must always take this into
account and make their own risk assessment, using the graph above as a reference.
Some tools with a high vibration value, such as impact wrenches, are generally used for
a few seconds at a time, therefore the cumulative time may only be in the order of a few
minutes per day. Nevertheless, the cumulative effect, particularly when added to that of
other hand held power tools that may be used, must always be taken into account when
the total daily dose rate is determined.
