sanding disc.
WARNING! DUST EXTRACTION SHOULD NOT BE
USED DURING METAL SANDING TO PREVENT HOT
METAL FRAGMENTS FROM ENTERING THE VACUUM
CLEANER OR DUST EXTRACTION SYSTEM.
Sandpaper Selection
Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an important step in
achieving optimum results. Coarse grit will remove the most material.
Finer grit will produce a smoother nish. The condition of the
workpiece will determine the grit of the sandpaper to be used. The
higher the grit number, the ner the grade of sandpaper.
If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the
surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove
scratches left by the coarser grit. Finer grit is then used to nish the
surface. Always continue sanding with each grade of sandpaper until
the surface is uniform.
MATERIAL APPROPRIATE GRIT
Coarse Sanding Fine Sanding
Soft Timbers 60 240
Hardwoods 60 180
Note: If intermediate sanding is required, choose a grit rating
between coarse and ne. The above table is intended as a guide
only. To ensure a satisfactory result, test on a scrap piece of material
to ensure the grit of sandpaper chosen is suitable for the desired
nish.
Replace the sand paper when it becomes worn.

Sanding Tips
Never force the material into the sander; allow the sandpaper to do
the work. Applying additional pressure will slow the motor, rapidly
wear the sandpaper, and greatly reduce the sander speed. This will
slow the removal rate and produce an inferior quality surface.
WARNING! EXCESSIVE PRESSURE WILL
OVERLOAD THE MOTOR, CAUSING OVERHEATING
AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR AND/OR
DAMAGE TO THE SURFACE.
Be sure to check your workpiece often. The sander is capable of
removing material rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
Do not sand on one spot for too long. The sander’s rapid action may
remove too much material, creating an uneven surface.
WARNING! WHEN SANDING SOFT METALS, THE
MATERIAL CAN GET HOT. SAND WITH CAUTION
AND IF NECESSARY, COOL THE MATERIAL DOWN
BEFORE RESUMING SANDING OPERATIONS.
WARNING! DUST EXTRACTION SHOULD NOT BE
USED DURING METAL SANDING TO PREVENT

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.
The power supply for this products charger should be protected by a residual current device (rated at
30mA or less). A residual current device reduces the risk of electric shock.
WARNING! The appliance is not to be used by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction.
Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• The tool should always be used with a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30mA
or less.
• Unplug the sander before changing accessories. Accidental start-ups may occur if the sander is
plugged in while changing an accessory.
• Disposing of dust. Be extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in ne particle form may be
explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open re. Spontaneous combustion, may in time, result
from a mixture of oil or water with dust particles.
• Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and when sanding overhead.
Sanding particles can be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily and may cause health
complications.
• Use special precautions when sanding chemically pressure treated timber, paint that may be
lead based, or any other materials that may contain carcinogens. A suitable breathing respirator
and protective clothing must be worn by all persons entering the work area. Work area should
be sealed by plastic sheeting and persons not protected should be kept out until work area is
thoroughly cleaned.
• Do not ‘wet sand’ with this sander. Liquids entering the motor housing are an electrical shock
hazard.
• Do not use sandpaper intended for larger sanding pads. Larger sandpaper will extend beyond the
sanding pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper. Extra paper extending beyond the sanding
pad can also cause serious lacerations.
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints;
- Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and;
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to lter out microscopic particles.
• Always hold material rmly against the tilt table.
• Never use the bench sander without the tilt table in place.
• Do not operate the tool until it is completely assembled and installed according to the instructions.
• Always work with adequate lighting.
• Before work, check that the machine is placed on an even surface with su󰀩cient stability. For your
own safety, always mount the machine to a work bench with the provided C-clamp.
• Keep the surrounding area of the machine well maintained and free of loose materials, such as
chips and cut-o󰀨s.
• Always hold the workpiece rmly when sanding.
• Never sand more than one workpiece at a time. Do not stack more than one workpiece on the
machine base at a time.
• Do not sand with the workpiece unsupported. Do not sand pieces of material that are too small to
be safely supported.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your hand to move
into the sanding belt or disc.
• Avoid kickback by sanding in accordance with directional arrows.
• Always maintain a clearance of 16mm between the worktable and the machine.
• Never stand or have any part of your body in line with the path of the workpiece.
• Machine should never be connected to power supply when you are assembling parts, adjusting, or
when not in use.
• Never leave tool running unattended. Do not leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
• Never use this belt/disc sander for cut-o󰀨 operations.
• When sanding soft metals, the material can get hot. Sand with caution and if necessary, cool the
material down before resuming sanding operations.
DISC SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
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.
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 o󰀨-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.
h. 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.
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 o󰀨. 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 a󰀨ect 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 di󰀨erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. 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.
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.
