GENERAL POWER TOOL
SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions 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.
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 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, clothing and
gloves 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
these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.
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 the battery pack 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

4
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. 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. 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.
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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book
carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for dry sanding of wood, plastic, filler
and coated surfaces.
1. FITTING THE SANDING PAPER
SANDING PAPER WITH HOOK & LOOP SYSTEM
FIT THE SANDING PAPER (See Fig A)
The sanding papers are placed directly onto the base plate.
The hole pattern in the base plate and sanding paper must
match. Then press the sanding paper onto the base plate
by hand. Firmly press the power tool with the sanding paper
against a flat surface and briefly switch the power tool on.
This provides for good adhesion and prevents premature
wear
Before placing on the sanding paper, free the base plate
from dust/debris by lightly tapping against it.
REMOVE THE SANDING PAPER
Simply remove the sanding paper directly.
SANDING PAPER WITHOUT HOOK & LOOP SYSTEM (SEE
FIG B , C , D)
FIT THE SANDING PAPER
Fit the sanding paper over the base. Make sure the sanding
paper is even with the edges and that the dust collection
holes in the base and sanding paper is aligned and that the
sanding paper is taut on the base.
Lift the sanding paper retaining clips to the open position and
insert one end of the sanding paper under the retaining clip.
Push the clip back into the retaining position. Lightly stretch
the paper over the base plate ensuring that it is not folded
or wrinkled then position under the other retaining clip back
into the retaining position. Check that the paper is flat to the
base plate, if not, release either clip and reposition the paper
before resetting the clip. Switch on momentarily to check that
the sander is functioning correctly. If there is undue vibration,
repeat the paper positioning procedure.
REMOVE THE SANDING PAPER
To remove the sanding paper, lift up the clamp lever and move
away from the clamp lever lock. The sanding paper clamp is
now loose. Repeat with the other clamp on the opposite side
of your sander.

A) ATTACH THE DUST BOX
Your sander is equipped with a Dust Collection Box (2), which
is designed for collect dust task. Insert the Dust Collection
Box into the rear dust outlet of sander. Then pull the Dust
Collection Box and make sure it is tightened securely on the
dust outlet.
B) EMPTY DUST BOX
For more efficient operation, empty dust box every 5-10mins.
This will permit the air to flow through the box better.
To empty the dust box, pull off the dust box out of the dust
extraction outlet directly and shake out dust.
3.USING THE DUST OUTLET (SEE FIG F)
Your sander is equipped with a 35mm dust outlet, which are
designed for connecting the hose of a vacuum cleaner.
If the vacuum hose is 35mm, insert the hose directly into the
rear dust outlet of sander.
First please turn on the vacuum cleaner, and then turn on the
sander. If you stop sanding, first turn off the sander, and then
turn off your vacuum cleaner.
NOTE: Please pull the dust adapter to make sure tightened
securely on the dust outlet.
4. OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE FIG. G)
Slide the on/off switch to the position marked ” I ” to start the
machine.
Slide it to the position marked “0” to stop it.
5. USING THE SANDER
The workpiece to be sanded must be secured. If it is small
or it may move during sanding, it must be held in a vice or
suitably clamped.
Be sure to hold the sander firmly whilst it is on and apply
it gently to the work, it may “kick” on first contact. Hold
the sander so that it is flat on the work and move slowly,
preferably with a smooth, circular motion. Regularly check
the condition of the sanding paper and replace when worn for
best results.
6. FLUSH SANDING FACILITY
Your sander can sand flush on three sides of the baseplate
which allows easy access to corners and edges of mouldings.
7 . ORBITAL SANDING
Your sander operates in small a circular rotation which
allows efficient material removal. Operate your sander in
long sweeping movements across your workpiece and even
across the grain. For a finer finish, always use a fine grain
sanding paper and only move the sander in the direction of
the grit and never across the grain. Do not allow your sander

to remain in the same position otherwise you will
remove material and create an uneven surface.
8.SELECT THE RIGHT SAND PAPER
Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an
extremely important decision that will allow you to
achieve the best quality sanding finish.
Coarse grit will remove the most material and
finer grit will give you the best finish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be
sanded will determine which grit will do the job.
If the surface is rough:
Start with coarse grit (sold separately) and sand until
the surface is uniform. Then use medium to remove
any scratches left by the coarse grit. Then use finer
grit (sold separately) for finishing the surface.
NOTE: Always continue sanding with each grit until
the surface is uniform.
Be careful to avoid hitting nails during operation. It
could nick, crack, or damage blades. We suggest
that you always keep an extra set of blades on hand
for replacement.
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
SANDER
1. Your sander is useful for working on wood, metal,
painted surface. It will smooth surfaces prior to
painting, even where fillers have been used and
left proud.
2. Your sander is best suited to large flat areas such
as doors but can also be used on skirting boards,
windows, etc, provided they are accessible.
3. Different types of sanding paper will allow the
sander to meet various needs. Different grades
of sanding paper are available, the higher grade
number, the finer the grit. For rough work
start with a low grade of grit (i.e. 60 grade) and
change to a higher, finer grade (i.e. 100 or 120)
for finishing. If you use a fine grade for rough
surfaces it will soon clog and need changing.
4. At all times, let the sander do the work-do
not force it or apply excessive pressure to
the sanding paper or it could wrinkle or tear.
Preferably, use a light circular motion.
5. If the surface shows excessive making from the
abrasive motion, you may be using a grit which is
too coarse or applying too much pressure.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying
out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or
maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts
in your power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with
a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry
place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep
all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you
may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is
normal and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. If your sander will not operate, check the power at
the mains plug.
2. If the sander does not abrade surface, checking
the sanding paper. If the sanding paper have been
worn, replace the new paper and try again. The
paper must be kept in a dry place, if it is allowed
to become damp, the abrasive particles will lose
their adhesion to the backing paper and will not
abrade.
3. If the sander dose not move smoothly, The
sanding paper may be loose, damaged or
wrinkled. Replace and try again.
4. If a fault can not be rectified return the sander to
an authorized dealer for repair.
