GENERAL SAFETY RULES
4
Warning! Read all instructions, Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “Power Tool” in
all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power
tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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.
Unmodified 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.
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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES (cont.)
• 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.
• 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,
clothing and gloves 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 these devices
can reduce dust related hazards.
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 can not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source 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, unplugged & 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. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools
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 and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
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.

Do not run the tool with pad removed. The resulting vibration could cause loss
of control.
Always unplug the sander cord from the mains before changing the sanding disc.
Danger! Lead based paints should only be removed by a professional. Do not
attach cutting discs or blades, this tool is not designed for such accessories.
Keep the work area well ventilated. Open the windows and put an exhaust fan
in one of them. Make sure the fan is moving air from inside to outside.
Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking utensils and air
ducts. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the centre of the room and
covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing
doorways with drop sheets.
Empty the dust bag frequently and after the completion of sanding. Be
extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine particle form may be explosive.
Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. 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
overhead sanding. 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.
Do not “wet sand” with this sander. Liquids entering the motor housing are an
electrical shock hazard.
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.
The 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 those dust masks that are
specifically designed to filter out microscopic 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.
Before attempting to use your sander be sure to familiarise yourself with all its
operating features and safety requirements.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR RANDOM ORBITAL SANDERS

OPERATION
Switch
The tool is turned on by the switch located on the front of the tool housing.
To turn the tool on, depress the switch to the “I” setting.
To turn the tool off, depress the switch to the “0” setting.
The switch is covered by a clear rubber dust seal. This seal protects the switch from
dust, extending its life.
Warning! Prior to connecting the sander to the mains power supply ensure the
switch is in the off position. If it is in the on position when connected to a live
mains power supply the tool will start immediately, this could potentially result in
bodily harm or material damage.
Sanding
Secure the work to prevent it from moving during the sanding operation. Prior to
starting the sander it is advised to already have the sanding pad on the work piece.
When sanding do not apply excessive pressure as this will slow down the pads action.
If faster removal is required, coarser grit sandpaper should be used rather than
applying more pressure. Move the sander in long overlapping strokes. Tipping the
sander or stopping in one spot can cause an uneven finish. When the job has been
completed remove the sander from the work piece then turn the on/off switch to the
off position.
Warning! The sander should always be disconnected from the power supply
when assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning or when the tool is not in
use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious injury.
Backing Pad Accessory Installation
Your detail sander is equipped with a hook and loop rubber backing pad. This uses
hook and loop backed accessories, which firmly grip the backing pad when applied
with moderate pressure.
To change, merely peel off the old accessory, remove dust from the backing pad if
necessary, and press the new accessory in place. Be sure to align the sanding disc holes
with the holes in the backing pad to allow the dust extraction system to function effectively.
After considerable use the backing pad surface will become worn, and must be
replaced when it no longer offers a firm grip. If the backing pad facing is wearing
prematurely, decrease the amount of pressure applied during the operation of the tool.
Damage to the pad is not covered by the warranty.
Note: Ensure you always have paper attached to the pad prior to sanding. Failure to
do so will destroy the hook and loop material on the backing pad and the paper will
no longer grip to the pad.

Dust Bag
The dust extraction system extracts sanding dust from the work piece through the
holes in the backing pad. The dust is then transferred through the dust extraction
port on the rear of the sander housing. To capture this dust it is best to attach the
dust bag included. To attach the dust bag simply slide the dust bag adaptor over
the dust extraction port on the rear of the sander housing. For the dust bag to
work at its optimum level it is best empted when it becomes 1/3rd full. This allows
air to flow through the bag freely increasing its effectiveness. To remove the bag,
simply pull the dust bag and adaptor backwards away from the dust extraction
port.
Tool Tips
This machine is designed for one handed operation. Always be certain that smaller
work pieces are securely fastened to a bench or other support. Larger panels may
be held in place by hand on a bench or sawhorses.
NEVER FORCE THE SANDER. The weight of the sander supplies adequate
pressure so let the sandpaper and the sander do the work. Applying additional
pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears the sandpaper and greatly reduces the
sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing possible damage
from motor overheating and can result in inferior work.
Warning! Guide the cord during sanding to prevent it being caught on timber,
other tools or objects.
Any finish or resin on wood may soften from frictional heat. This will cause the
material to rapidly clog the sandpaper, rendering it useless. Do not allow sanding
on one spot too long, as the sander's rapid action may remove too much material,
particularly when using only one corner of the pad, making the surface uneven.
Sandpaper Selection
Selecting the correct size grit and type of sandpaper is an extremely important step
in achieving an optimal result. Aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic
abrasives are best suited to power sanding. Natural abrasives such as flint and
garnet are too soft for economical efficient use in power sanding.
In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will produce the
best, smoothest finish. The higher the grit number, the finer the grit and
subsequently, a smoother finish.
The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grade of grit will
be applicable. 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, and finer grit used for the finishing of the surface. Always continue
sanding with each grade of grit until the surface is uniform.

OPERATION (cont.)
Precautions to take when sanding paint
Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the dangers of lead
poisoning. In dusty areas a dust mask should be worn.
Environmental Safety
•Paint should be removed in such a manner so as to minimize the amount of
dust generated.
•Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting.
• Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the
work area.
• Keep the ventilation slots of the tool clean at all times. If possible prevent foreign
matter from entering the vents.
•After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free from all dust
particles that may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the tool to
overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the tool requires cleaning do not use solvents but a moist soft
cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the tool; never immerse any part of the
tool into a liquid.
• When the carbon brushes wear out the tool will spark and/or stop. The brushes are
a wearing component of the tool and should be replaced prior to the carbon
wearing out fully. Brushes will wear out after many uses but before they do take
the tool to an electrician or a power tool repairer for quick and low cost
replacement. Always replace both brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by the
repair of the tool by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.
