PRODUCT SAFETY
WARNING Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to the state of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
●Lead from lead-based paints;
●Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products;
●Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemical: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to lter out microscopic particles.
WARNING This product can expose you
to chemicals including lead, phthalate or
bisphenol A which are known to the State of
California to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Wash your hands
after use. For more information go to www.

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, re 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.
WORK AREA SAFETY
● 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.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
●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. Unmodied plugs and matching
outlets will reduce 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 cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
●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.
●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.
PERSONAL SAFETY
● 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.
● 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.
●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 nger on the switch or
energising power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
●Remove any adjusting key or wrench

Page 4
GENERAL SAFETY RULE
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.
●Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
●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.
●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.
●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.
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
●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.
●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.
●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.
●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.
●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. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
●Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
●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.
●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.
SERVICE
●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.

DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulation is a safety concept for electric power tools, which eliminates
the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. All exposed metal parts
are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded.
WARNING The double insulated system is intended to protect the user from shock resulting from
a break in the tool’s internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions to avoid electrical shock.
IMPORTANT: Servicing a tool with double insulation requires extreme care and knowledge
of the system and should be performed only by a qualied service technician. Always use the
original factory replacement parts when servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The Random Orbit Sander has a precision-built electric motor. It should be connected to a power sup-
ply that is 120V, 60Hz AC only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool on direct current
(DC). A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor to overheat. If your tool does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When us-
ing an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table
1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord.

OPERATION
5. USING THE SANDER
NOTE: If you see some sparks ashing in the
ventilation slots do not panic, this is normal and
will not damage the tool.
Be sure to hold the sander rmly whilst it is on
and apply it gently to the work; it may kick on
rst contact. Hold the sander so that it is at on
the work and move slowly, preferably in parallel
lines, circles, or crosswise movements. When
you rst turn it on, make sure that your nger
remains on the switch so you can STOP the
sander in case there is a problem.
When using nishing sanding base or corner
sanding base, switch the sander on with the
base away from the work piece. Let the motor
reach full speed then operate sanding. Remove
the sander form the work piece before switching
off.
Flush sanding can be performed with your
sander. The front edge of your sander allows
f ush sanding.
The sander should run smoothly. Strange or
unnatural noise should be investigated and
corrected before operating the sander further.
Regularly check the condition of the abrasive
paper and replace when worn for best results.
Always keep the machine moving so the nish
of your work stays consistent. If you stay in one
place too long, then the sander may produce
a depression in the wood that will compromise
your nish.

Page 12
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. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
1. If your sander will not operate, check the power at the mains plug.
2. If the sander does not abrade surface, checking the sand paper. If the sand paper has 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 does not move smoothly, the sand paper may be loose, damaged or wrinkled.
Replace and try again.
4. If a fault can not be rectied return the sander to an authorized dealer for repair.
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maxi-
mum and run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low
speeds. Always use sand paper that is suitable for the material you want to sand.
Always ensure the work-piece is rmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding nish.
Start your sander before sanding and turn it off only after you stop sanding. For the best results,
sand wood in the direction of the grain.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper tted.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it will damage the base-plate. The guarantee also cover
base-plate wear and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and ne grit for the
nal surfaces. If necessary, rst make a test run on scrap material.
Use only good quality sandpaper.
The sandpaper controls the sanding efciency, not the amount of force you apply to the tool.
Excessive force will reduce the sanding efciency and cause motor overload. Replacing the sand-
paper regularly will maintain optimum sanding efciency.
