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.
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 electric (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 grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
PS240 01

PS240 02
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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
dust collection 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
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.
b) If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or its agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
6. Additional Safety and Working
Instructions
a) Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metals
can be harmful to one’s health and cause allergic
reactions, leading to respiratory infections and/or
cancer. Materials containing asbestos may only be
worked by specialists. Observe the relevant
regulations in your country for the materials to be
worked.

PS240 03
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
b) Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dusts can easily ignite.
7Additional Warnings for Sanders
a) Harmful/toxic dusts will arise from sanding
e.g. lead painted surfaces, woods and metals.
Contact with or inhalation of these dusts can
endanger the health of operator and bystanders.
Always use eye glasses and dust mask.
b) Hearing protection should be worn when
using the sander.
c) Always wear safety glasses or eye shields
when using the sander. Everyday eyeglasses
have only impact-resistant lenses; they are not
safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the
risk of serious personal injury.
d) Remove the plug from the socket before
carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
e) Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid
potential overheating.
f) When an extension cable is required you
must ensure it has the correct ampere rating for
your power tool and is in a safe electrical
condition.
g) Ensure your mains supply voltage is same as
indicated on the rating plate.
h) Your tool is double insulated for additional
protection against a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
i) Always check walls, floors and ceilings to
avoid hidden power cables and pipes.
j) After long working period’s external metal
parts and accessories could be hot.
k) If possible, ensure the work-piece is firmly
clamped to prevent movement.
l) Your sander is a hand held tool, do not clamp
your sander.
m) Before sanding, check the area is free of
nails, screws, etc.
n) Never stop the sander by applying a force to
the base plate.
o) Only use paper in good condition. Do not use
torn or worn paper.
p) Do not sand material containing asbestos due
to a health risk.
q) Do not sand lead based paint due to the risk of
lead poisoning.
r) Do not eat or drink in the working area of the
sander.
s) Do not allow people to enter the working area
without wearing a dust mask.
t) Where possible, seal off the working area to
contain the dust for later removal.
u) Your tool is designed for dry sanding only, not
wet sanding.
v) Your tool is designed for general purpose light
polishing of wood and metals.
w) Do not sand magnesium material due to the
risk of fire.

in contact with the workpiece or any other surface as
this may cause the operator to lose control over the
tool and could result in serious injury.
Caution: Always hold the sander securely by the soft
grip surface(2).
Connect the sander to the mains power supply. To start
the tool, press the ON/OFF switch(1) to the ON
position.
To stop the tool, press the ON/OFF switch(1) to the OFF
positon.
Warning! Always wait until the tool has stopped
vibrating completely before putting it down. Always
disconnect from the power supply after use.
Cleaning/Emptying Dust Box
TO maintain performance of the sander the dust
collection box(9) and filter will need cleaning regularly.

assembling, do not use if not completely dry.
NOTE: Ensure both parts click back together.
Sanding
WARNING! Always wear safety goggles, an adequate
dust mask, hearing protection and suitable gloves
when working with this sander.
IMPORTANT: Always use clamps to secure you
workpiece to the workbench wherever possible.
WARNING! Do not use a sanding sheet on wood that
has previously been used on metal. This may cause
scouring on the wooden surface. Do not use this
sander for sanding magnesium or for wet sanding.
CAUTION: Never touch a moving sanding sheet.
Grip the soft grip handle and switch on the sander
using the ON/OFF switch(1).
Move the tool in a circular motion over the surface of
the workpiece, applying an even, moderate pressure
until the desired surface is achieved.
NOTE Apply moderate pressure only. Excess pressure
will not lead to a faster removal of material, but will
damage the sanding sheet and the tool.
If there are still scratches on your workpiece after
sanding, try either of the following:
Return to a coarser grit sanding sheet and sand the
marks out before recommencing with your original
choice of sanding sheet.
Use a new sanding sheet of the same grit to eliminate
the unwanted marks before progressing to a finer grit.
WARNING! Do not allow the sandpaper to wear down
completely before replacing it. Failure to observe this
precautionary measure can lead to damage to base,
resulting in sanding sheets failing to perform properly.
CAUTION: Do not continue to use worn, torn, or heavily
clogged sanding sheets.
Ensure foreign objects, such as nails and screws, are
removed from the workpiece before commencing
sanding.

CAUTION:Never use caustic agents to clean
plastic parts. If dry cleaning is not
sufficient, using a mild detergent on a
damp cloth is recommended.
WARNING! Do not allow the tool to come
into contact with water or any other liquid.
Ensure the tool is thoroughly dry before
using it. If available, use clean, dry,
compressed air to blow through the
ventilation holes(where applicable).
Surfaces need to be clean, free of dirt and
foresight matter(hair, sand etc.) and in
good condition.
PS240 09
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
Maintenance and Service
Maintenance and Cleaning
Before any work on the dust collector itself, pull
themains plug.
For safe and proper working, always keep the
dust collector and ventilation slots clean.
If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has tobe done by an authorized
service agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
If the dust collector should fail despite the care
taken inmanufacturing and testing procedures,
repair should be carriedout by an authorised
service centre.
General inspection
Regularly check that all the screws are tight as
they may vibrate and loosen over time.
Inspect the power cable(3) prior to each use for
damage or wear.
Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified
technician.
Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust
will cause internal parts to wear quickly and
shorten the tool’s service life. Clean the body of
the tool with a soft brush or dry cloth.
We recommend using compressed air when
possible to clean down the sander. This aids the
products longevity.
