1. SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded)
power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable 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. Unmodified
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 a 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) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric
shock.
NOTE The term “residual current device (RCD)” can be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.

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 influence
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 a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A
wrench or a 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 jewellery. Keep your hair and
clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
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 off. 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 remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive 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 and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

4
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 different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control
of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
Belt sander safety warnings
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the sanding surface
may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
WARNING Contact with or inhalation of harmful / toxic dusts arising from sanding
painted surfaces, woods and metals can endanger the health of operator and
bystanders.
Take special care to guard against these dusts, including the following:
-All persons entering the work area must wear an approved mask specially
designed for protection against harmful / toxic dusts, in addition to using the
dust extraction facility, and keeping work area well ventilated.
- Children and pregnant women must not enter the work area.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
Any pre 1960 building may have paint containing lead on wood or metal
surfaces. If you suspect workpiece contains lead seek professional advice.
Some wood and wood type products especially MDF (Medium Density
Fibreboard) can produce dust that can be hazardous to your health. We
recommend the use of an approved face mask with replaceable filters when

5
using this machine in addition to using the dust extraction facility.
Hold the machine correctly using two hands and adopt a stable stance, make
sure that the mains cable is prevented from coming into contact with the
machine or getting caught up on other objects preventing completion of the
sanding pass.
This tool is intended to remove surface material using an abrasive medium.
Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as nails and screws from
the workpiece before commencing sanding.
Do not use it for wet sanding, for dry sanding only.
Where possible, secure smaller workpieces to prevent them from moving
under the sander.
Do not force the sander, let the tool do the work at a reasonable speed.
Overloading will occur if too much pressure is applied and the motor slows
resulting in inefficient sanding and possible damage to the sander motor.
Do not use the dust collection box when sanding metal. The hot metal
particles could cause residual wood dust or the internal filter paper to catch
fire.
Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged sanding belts.
Do not touch the moving sanding belt.
If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard;

Information:
The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a
standard test method and may be used for comparing one tool with another;
The declared vibration total value may also be used in a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
Warning:
that the vibration emission during actual use of the power tool can differ
from the declared total value depending on the ways in which the tool is
used; and
of the need to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are
based on an estimation of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking

9
account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is
switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
Wear hearing protection.
5. ASSEMBLY AND USE
Selecting the right grade of sanding belt
Different grades of sanding belt can be purchased from the store where
you purchased the tool. Available grades are: Coarse, Medium and Fine.
Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work
and fine grit to finish off.
It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the
optimum grades of sanding belt for a particular job.

10
Adjust the working speed by turning the knob on the front handle. We
recommend using a slow speed initially and then accelerating. The MIN marking is
the slowest speed and the MAX marking is the fastest speed.

Sanding
The sander can be used for most sanding operations on materials such as wood,
plastic, metal and painted surfaces.
WARNING : Don’t use this machine on plaster.
Wear safety goggles and dust mask.
Where possible, secure smaller workpiece to prevent them from moving under
the sander. Lower the sander in contact with the workpiece without pressure and
then start the sander.
Move the sander slowly over the surface of the workpiece, for best results use
the sander in a linear motion not circular. Using the sander in a circular motion
may result in the belt tracking slipping. Sand with the grain, in parallel over
lapping strokes.
To remove paint or smooth very rough wood, sand across the grain at 45º in two
directions, and then finish parallel with the grain. Use the front roller only to sand
corners or irregular shapes.
Lift the sander off the work before switching off. Remember to keep your hands
away from the moving belt, as it will continue to move for a short time after the
machine is switched off.
If there are still scratches on your work after sanding, try either of the following:
-Go back to a coarser grit and sand the marks out before recommencing with the
original choice or,
-Try using new sanding belt of the same grit to eliminate the unwanted marks before
progressing to a finer grit and finishing the job.

6. SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Always disconnect the device before performing any adjustment or
maintenance operation. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent in order to avoid a hazard.
Disconnect from the power supply immediately if the supply cord is damaged.
Take care not to expose this tool to the rain.
If the carbon brushes need to be replaced, have this done by a qualified repair
person (always replace the two brushes at the same time)
Cleaning
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastic parts are
susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc.
Lubrication
All the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade
lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions, therefore no
further lubrication is required.
