TROUBLE SHOOTING
Power tools that are no longer usable should not be disposed of
with household waste but in an environmentally friendly way. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local council authority
for recycling advice.
Recycling packaging reduces the need for landll and raw materials.
Reuse of recycled material decreases pollution in the environment.
Please recycle packaging where facilities exist. Check with your
local council authority for recycling advice.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents
and/or the sander failing to operate
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and need to be replaced. Carbon
brushes should only be replaced by a qualied electrician or power tool repairer.
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
Paintwork 180 400
Wood: Softwood 60 240
Hardwood 60 180
Veneer 240 320
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,
a small, inconspicuous area should rst be tested to ensure the grit of sandpaper
chosen is suitable for the desired nish.
Sanding Tips
Never force the sander. The weight of the sander supplies adequate pressure,
allowing 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.
CAUTION: Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing possible damage
to the sander by overheating the motor; or damage to the workpiece.
Be sure to check your workpiece often. The sander is capable of removing
material rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
The orbital action of your sander allows you to sand with the grain, or at any angle
across it for most sanding jobs. In the nal stages a better nish will be achieved
by sanding with the grain.
Do not sand on one spot for too long. The sander’s rapid action may remove too
much material, creating an uneven surface.

• Keep the vents of the sander clean at all times. If possible, prevent foreign
matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the sander housing to ensure it is free from
all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the
sander to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the sander requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a
moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the sander; never immerse
any part of the sander into a liquid.
Replacing the Hook & Loop Backing Pad
After considerable use, the hook and loop backing pad (2) surface will
become worn, and must be replaced when it no longer offers a rm grip. The
replacement backing pad can be ordered through the Special Orders Desk at
any Bunnings store.
1. To replace, remove the four philips head screws by rotating anti-clockwise.
2. Place new backing pad on the tool and retighten the four philips head
screws by rotating clockwise.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the sander
will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as soon
as this happens. They should be replaced prior to
recommencing use of the sander. Carbon brushes
are a wearing component of the sander and are
therefore not covered under warranty. Continuing
to use the sander when carbon brushes need to
be replaced may cause permanent damage to the
sander. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses. When the carbon
brushes need to be replaced, take the sander to an electrician or a power tool
repairer for a quick and low cost replacement. Always replace both carbon
brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by the repair of the sander by an unauthorised person or by
mishandling of the sander.

• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the sanding pad
may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
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 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 or kick-back.
Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.
WARNING! 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.
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.
