5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
5.1 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE
When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as
the user, remain safe.
Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.
Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and
understood this manual.
Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an
emergency.
Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during
use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the
floor could result in you slipping.
Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted, the location should provide good
natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a
negative effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable do not expose the tool to
rain. In all cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.
Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the
work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.
Unplug and house all power tools that are not in use. A power tool should never be left unattended
while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up
and from children. This includes battery chargers.
Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what
they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an
application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool
will result in tool failure and user injury. This covers the use of accessories.
Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can
become entangled in moving machinery. This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the
machine. Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties
removed. Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a non-slip sole.
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swarf can all be
dangerous if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or
fumes wear a dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods
must be protected against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses.
Protect against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are
some of the more common hazards and preventions, however, always find out what hazards are
associated with the machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment
available.
Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes connect the machine (if
possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if
possible.
Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the power supply
cable. If the product is heavy, employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a
mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.
Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This
could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.
Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged
or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable, keep blades
sharp, moving parts clean, oiled or greased, handles clean, and emergency devices working.
Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake, some parts may
continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop, then unplug it from the power supply
– 6 –

5. HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION
before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the
tool.
Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to
set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they
have been removed and are safely away from the machine.
Prevent unintentional starting. Before plugging any machine in to the power supply, make sure
the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable, do not hold the machine near the
switch and take care when putting the machine down, that nothing can operate the switch.
Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power
tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you
are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to conform to the relevant
international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone
qualified, using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer. This will ensure the tool remains
safe to use.
5.2 GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPRESSED AIR
These safety instructions should be strictly followed. Failure to do so may result in accidents,
equipment malfunctioning, serious personal injury and / or loss of life.
Compressed air is a source of considerable energy. When handling products dealing with
compressed air, the following precautions must be taken to prevent accidents.
− Ensure that compressed air is not blocked or in contact with any part of your body.
− Before connecting any pneumatic equipment to the compressed air supply, all mounted fittings,
piping assemblies and electrical connections should be checked for security. All plastic plugs in
the equipment used for protection during shipping should be removed.
− No piping alterations, removal of fittings, repairing of equipment etc. Should be attempted with
air supplies connected. Air and electrical supplies must be disconnected before beginning any
adjustment, maintenance or dismantling of equipment.
− The maximum allowable operating pressures, temperature, flows etc. must be strictly
observed. Failure to do so might result in catastrophic failure of equipment, and result in
serious personal injury and / or death. Refer to individual catalogues for this information, and
any other operating or application limitations.
Warning:
− Compatibility of pneumatic equipment
Ensuring the compatibility of the procured FRL equipment is the responsibility of the
person who designs the Pneumatic system and/ or System specifications. This should be
based on specifications or after analysis and / or tests to meet specific requirements.
− Repair and maintenance
Assembly, handling, or repair of pneumatic systems should be performed by only trained and
experienced operators.
− Safety first
Do not service machinery/equipment or attempt to remove any component until safety Is
confirmed.
• Inspection and maintenance of machinery / equipment should only be performed after
confirmation that both compressed air and electrical supply have been positively
disconnected and all residual compressed air in the system has been completely
exhausted to the atmosphere.
− Contact the manufacturer if equipment is to be used in any of the following conditions:
• Equipment is to be used in conditions beyond the given specifications, or if equipment is to
be used outdoors.

8. AIR SUPPLY
8.1 AIR TOOL OIL SPECIFICATION
Failure to follow these instructions will lead to premature malfunction of the equipment which is not
covered by the guarantee.
Air tool oil viscosity refers to it’s properties to flow and how it reacts with heat. A low viscosity is
thinner than a high viscosity.
Air tool oil becomes thinner as it heats so choosing the right viscosity is essential. If the viscosity is
too low it may provide insufficient lubrication when heated. Equally, if it is too high, the fluid may
provide excessive resistance to move through the lines when cold.
The ISO (International Standards Organisation) viscosity grading system measures the kinematic
viscosity in centistokes (cSt) at 40º which is today’s accepted standard. The SAE (Society of
Automotive Engineers) viscosity grade value is based on a scale.
This equipment is suited to an ISO grade 22 – 32 (SAE grade 5W – 15W) monograde oil.
The oil must be constantly supplied to the equipment during use to ensure complete lubrication
and optimum performance is achieved. It also acts as a rust inhibitor when the equipment is not in
use. We recommend the use of Draper Air Tool Oil.
This air tool operates at a maximum pressure of 90psi and must be controlled via a combination
pressure regulator, in-line lubricator and moisture filter such as the Draper range (see you local
Draper stockist) which with proper maintenance will ensure a constant supply of dry air and
lubricating oil at all times (see illustration below). Always check machine operating pressure before
use.
Water in the compressor tank will cause serious corrosion to your air tools and should be drained
daily to avoid excessive water in your air supply. Dirty wet air rapidly shortens the life of your air
tool.
If you are using an air tool on a hose over 25ft long it is advisable to increase the bore of the hose
to the next larger size available, i.e., 1⁄4" increases 3⁄8". This will ensure adequate pressure and
volume of air to power the machine.
8.2 RECOMMENDED AIR SUPPLY SET UP – FIG. 1
FIG.1
After each use and before prolonged storage, lubricate the equipment with approximately 1.5ml of
air tool oil directly down the air inlet.

9. ASSEMBLY
9.1 CONNECTION TO THE AIR
SUPPLY – FIG.2
Whip hose:
To connect the air sander to an air line, a ¼”BSP
male thread whip hose will be required. The
connection must be tight for an airtight union.
9.2 ATTACHING THE HOOK & LOOP
SHEETS – FIG.3
Note: Disconnect the air supply prior to carrying
out maintenance, servicing or adjustment.
This sander is equipped to accept hook & loop type
sanding sheets. Simply align the edges of the
sanding sheet with the backing pad and press
together firmly.
If the pad is a non punched type use a suitable tool
to pierce the sheet in the appropriate areas. This
will aid with dust removal, reducing the hazard.
9.3 DUST COLLECTION – FIG.4
The sander is not supplied with a dust extraction
hose (3.1). To connect a dust extraction hose,
insert into (3.1) the dust outlet port (3)firmly.
Attach the other end of hose to a suitable vacuum
dust extractor.
Note: Always wear a protective dust mask in
addition to these measures.
