3. OPERATION
OPERATION
On/Off Switch
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the use of a residual current
device (rated 30mA or less) is recommended.
1. To switch ON the equipment set the On/Off
switch to the “I” position.
2. After switching ON, wait for the equipment to
reach its maximum speed of rotation. Only then
should you begin with the grinding/sanding.
3. Move the On/Off switch to the “O” position to
switch OFF the equipment.
Grinding Wheel
1. Place the workpiece onto the
tool rest.
2. Slowly guide the workpiece towards
the grinding wheel, ensuring that the
workpiece is at the desired angle when
it makes contact.
NOTE: Exert only moderate pressure on
the workpiece so that it can be machined
at constant speed. Instead of accelerating
your work, high pressure will cause the
drive unit to slow down and even stop, thus
overloading the motor.
3. Move the workpiece slightly back and
forth to produce an optimal grinding
result. This way the grinding wheel will
be evenly worn. Allow the workpiece to
cool down occasionally.
Belt Sander
NOTE: It may be necessary to use the Belt Tension/Tracking
Adjustment Knob to ensure the sanding belt tracks in the centre of the
top and bottom rollers.
1. Alwaysholdtheworkpiecermlywhile
using the sanding belt. Do not exert
excessive pressure.
2. The workpiece should be moved to and
fro on the belt as you grind or sand it to
prevent the paper wearing on one side.
NOTE: Exert only moderate pressure on
the workpiece so that it can be machined
at constant speed. Instead of accelerating
your work, high pressure will cause the
drive unit to slow down and even stop,
thus overloading the motor.
IMPORTANT! IF THE GRINDING WHEEL BECOMES JAMMED
DURING OPERATION, REMOVE THE WORKPIECE AND WAIT
UNTIL THE TOOL REACHES ITS TOP SPEED AGAIN.
IMPORTANT! FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, IT IS ESSENTIAL
TO SECURE SMALL WORKPIECES WITH A SCREW
CLAMP OR VISE.
IMPORTANT! PIECES OF WOOD SHOULD ALWAYS
BE SANDED WITH THE GRAIN TO PREVENT THEM
SPLITTING.

BENCH GRINDER & BELT SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including
the following, should always be followed to reduce risk of re, electric shock,
personal injury and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an
emergency, before operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and
New Zealand.
Note: The power outlet used for the grinder must be protected by a 30mA residual current device or
earth leakage circuit breaker.
The supply cored assessed as type Y attached by using AS/NZS 60335.1.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order
to avoid a hazard.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect
the extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged
or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension
lead not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk
ofreandelectricshock.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warningsandinstructions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.
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 ammable
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.Unmodied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 inuence 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nger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 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 qualied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. 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.
