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 - don’t overreach. For best footing, wear rubber
soled footwear. Keep floor clear of oil, scrap wood,
etc.

Electrical Connections
Connect the mains lead to a standard 230V (50Hz) electrical supply through an approved
13 Amp BS1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
WARNING: This appliance is DOUBLE INSULATED
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with
the following code:
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the flexible cord of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying terminals in your plug proceed as follows:
• Connect BROWN coloured cord to plug terminal marked with a letter L or coloured
RED
• Connect BLUE coloured cord to plug terminal marked with a letter N or coloured
BLACK
IMPORTANT: If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded on to
the electric cable (i.e. non- re-wireable) 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.

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 dealer or most electrical
stockists.
5. The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (13 amps) and this
replacement must be approved to BS1362.

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 blows
repeatedly, consult your CLARKE dealer.
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 Extraction.
Dust extraction equipment (not supplied) , can be used with your sander, this is possible by
connecting a suitable hose to the outlet port at the rear of the machine just below the
power supply cable entry.
3. Using The Sander.
Holding the sander firmly, insert the plug into the mains socket and switch ON, turn the
sander on by operating the switch on the front of the tool.
Offer sander to workpiece and work slowly backwards and forwards across the area to be
sanded until finished. Remove sander from workpiece and switch OFF. Wait until machine
has stopped completely before putting it down.
Note: Do Not start the sander whilst it is in contact with the workpiece.
