Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite
accidents.
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.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapted plugs with earthed(grounded)
power tools. Modified plugs and un-matching outlets will increase
the risk of electric shock.
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.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or
unplugging the power tool. Keep it away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts.
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.

Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and
recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
Use special precautions when sanding chemically pressurized
timber, paint that may be lead based, or any other materials that
are highly dangerous to human. Work should be sealed by plastic
sheeting and persons not protected should be kept out until work
area is thoroughly cleaned.
Position the power supply cord out of rotating accessory. Do
not abuse the cord, never use the cord to carry the tools or pull
the plug from the outlet. Always make sure that any extension
cord you use is in good condition, and if used outdoors is of a
suitable type, and so labelled.
Use the vacuum dust extraction accessory in conjunction with
this sander. The workplace should be kept as clean and dust free
as possible. Do not connect a domestic vacuum cleaner to this
machine.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to
a complete stop. The rotating accessory may grab the surface
and pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the
accessory such as abrasive discs for chips and cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear. If power tool or accessory is
damaged, inspect for damage or install with a replaced accessory.
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the spindle
thread. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
Be extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine particle
form may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open
fire. Spontaneous combustion, may in time, result from a mixture
of oil or water with dust particles.
Always check the tool for damaged parts. Regularly clean the
power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside
the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.

Orbital sander is a hand-held power tool for sanding, in which
the sanding pad/disc delivers a random-orbital action. This
sander is a vibrating tool composed of a ball bearing mechanism
where we come to fix a sanding pad.
The random turning ellipses creates a uniform surface with
minimum visible scratches possible. It gives a finer finish with a
uniform material removal.
With the vibrations in tiny circles, the orbital sander is used for
ultra-smooth sanding. These can be used for preparing a surface
before and after painting.
A random orbital sander can be used on wood (majorly), plastic or
for metal working, various other applications as well, from wood
shops, painting jobs to removing rust from steel surfaces.
Despite being very simple to use, you still need to know how an
orbital sander works in order to use it correctly. Read the
operators manual very carefully.

The Orbital Sander should always be held with both hands, one
on the trigger switch handle, and other on the side handle.
Always clamp and sec
ure the work piece to prevent it from moving under the sander.
Place sander on the work so that all of sanding disc surface is in
contact with work piece. Let the sanding disc come to full speed
before applying it onto the work.
Start the sander and move it slowly over, making successive
passes in parallel lines, circles, or crosswise movements. Apply
just enough pressure to align the base with the work surface.
Move the sander across the work surface in long overlapping
sweeps. Apply only enough pressure to keep the abrasive disc flat
against the work surface. Excessive pressure should be avoided as
it can cause swirl marks and unevenness in the work surface.
Keep the sander in constant motion while the abrasive disc is in
contact with the work surface. Use a steady, sweeping motion,
allowing the rotating abrasive disc to float over the work surface.
Once the sanding task has been completed, turn OFF the sander
by releasing the trigger. If the sander has been locked ON, press
down the lock button and trigger to release them, and your tool
will turn OFF.
