GENERAL & SPECIFIC
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Know your tool
Read and understand the instruction manual and labels affixed to the tool. Learn its
application and limitations as well as its specific potential hazards.
2. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations or expose them to rain. Keep work area
well lit and provide adequate surrounding work space.
3. Use right tool
Don’t force the tool or the attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
4. Wear proper apparel
Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties or jewelry (rings, watch) because they
could get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective
hair covering to contain long hair. Roll up long sleeves above the elbows.
5. Maintain tool with care
Keep tool clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for operation and
changing accessories.
6. Disconnect tools
Before servicing, when changing accessories or attachments.
7. Avoid accidental starting
Make sure the switch is in the ‘’OFF’’ position before plugging in.
8. Use recommended accessories
Consult the manual for recommended accessories. Follow the instructions that
accompany the accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards.
9. Check for damaged parts
Before further use of the tool, a guard or other parts that are damaged should be
carefully checked to ensure they will operate properly and perform their intended
function. Check for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and
any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other parts which are
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. If possible, use clamps or any other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may
lead to loss of control.
2. Do not use the tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Do not abuse the power cord. Do not use it to carry, pull or unplug the tool from the power
source. Keep power cord away from heat, oil, moving parts and sharp edges. A
damaged power cord will increase the risk of electric shock.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood
by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.
Note: Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage.
Extension cord usage may also aect tool performance.
VOLTAGE WARNING
Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage
supplied is the same as that specied on the nameplate of the tool. If one says 120V and
the other says 115V then there will be no complications. Never try to plug a 120V tool into a
240V outlet, or the other way around. A voltage greater than that specied on the tool can
result in serious injury to the user, as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in
the tool.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized two-prong plug (one blade is wider
than the other). This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not t fully
into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install
a polarized outlet. Do not alter or change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates
the need for three wire grounded power supply and grounded power cords.
EXTENSION CORDS
Improper use of extension cords may cause inecient operation of your tool which can
result in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sucient current ow to
the motor. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for outdoor use
(signied by “WA” on the jacket).
The extension cord must have a minimum wire size depending on the amperage of the tool
and the length of the extension cord. This size is determined by its AWG (American Wire
Gauge) rating. The smaller the gauge, the greater the cable’s capacity. The amount of cords
used does not matter: Total length determines the minimum AWG rating. Every cord must
meet the AWG rating. Use the chart below to determine what AWG rating is required for your
situation. Cord length is rated in feet.

INSTALLING SANDPAPER
Your sander is designed to use 1/3 sheets of sandpaper. This size can be made by cutting a
full sized (9" x 11") sandpaper into 1/3 sheets of 8-3/8" x 3-1/2"
Install sandpaper to your sander as follows;
1. Soften the sti edges of the sandpaper to be clamped (8-3/8" edge) by pulling it over the
90° edge of a table or other straight edge.
2. Release front clamp lever by pushing it in against the body, lifting it up slightly, then
pulling it out slightly and nally lowering it to disengage it from the tab on the base plate.
3. Fully insert the 8-3/8" edge of the sandpaper under the clamp and secure it by hooking
the clamp lever into the lock position behind the tab on the base plate.
4. Stretch sandpaper over the sanding pad and insert under the opposite clamp in the same
way.
Note: To use the dust extraction feature, perforate the sandpaper with the provided punch
plate as described in the punch plate instructions in the next section.
OPERATION

PUNCH PLATE
A sandpaper punch plate is provided with your sander to let you perforate regular sandpaper
to make dust collection possible. To perforate your sandpaper, install the sandpaper
as described above in section “Installing Sandpaper”. With the sander turned o and
unplugged, place the punch plate on the sandpaper so that the tabs at the edges of the
punch are against any two adjacent sides of the sanding pad. Press the punch plate against
the pad so that the 8 points penetrate the sandpaper. (Press the punch into the pad as far
as it will go). Remove the punch plate and the sandpaper is ready.
SANDING
1. Choose the proper grit sanding paper. If preparing wood for painting, or if removing
paint, use a coarse grit sanding paper. Use a fine grit for finish work.
2. Secure the item to be sanded. Make certain that the sanding paper is firmly in place.
3. With the sander not in contact with the workpiece, press the switch to the “ON”
position.
4. Carefully move the sander to the workpiece and begin sanding.
Warning: Do not sand any area too heavily or for more than a few seconds at a time. Apply
even pressure in a random pattern over the entire surface.
5. To sand down profiles and grooves, use the point or edge of the plastic base.
6. Every few minutes, check the condition and wear of the sanding paper. Replace if
necessary.
Warning: Do not use torn or severly worn sanding paper. You may damage your work
surface or suffer physical injury.
7. When you are done sanding the desired area, remove the sander from the work surface
before turning OFF the sander!
OPERATION

DUST EXTRACTION
The dust extraction adapter together with an external vacuum cleaner takes care of the dust
extraction of the working surface.
1. Place the adapter (4) on the dust extraction connection (3).
2. Slide the hose of a domestic vacuum on the dust extraction adaptor (4).
3. When you nish the work, please take o the back adaptor and clean the dust extraction
connection.
SANDING PAINT
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the diculty of controlling
the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant
women.
Note:: Only dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used.
Ordinary painting masks do not oer this protection. Consult your local hardware dealer.
Warning! NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent
ingesting contaminated paint particles. Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating,
drinking or smoking.
MAINTENANCE
Keep your machine as clean as possible by wiping with a clean cloth and blowing through
it with air after every 5 hours of use. Don’t use harsh chemicals or solvents to clean the
tool. These chemicals could seriously damage the plastic. Keep the vents clear of dust and
debris. This will help prevent possible electrical shorts and ensure proper cooling. Keep
the tool housing clean and free or oil and grease using mild soap and a damp (not wet)
cloth. Inspect the cord regularly and have it replaced by an authorized service center if it is
damaged. Lubrication for this tool is done at the factory and should not be necessary again
under normal use.
CLEANING
Use mild soap and a damp cloth to clean the sander. Do not use petrol, turpentine, lacquer,
paint thinners or any other substance that could damage the plastic housing. Do not let
liquid get inside the sander. Never immerse the sander in liquid.
