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.
• 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.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the sander
polisher will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as
soon as this happens. They should be replaced
prior to recommencing use of the sander polisher.
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 polisher 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 polisher by an unauthorised person or by
mishandling of the sander.
MAINTENANCE
DESCRIPTION OF SYMBOLS
CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
TROUBLE SHOOTING
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 drill 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.
Operation Tips
Never force the sander polisher. The weight of the unit supplies adequate
pressure, allowing the discs to do the work. Applying additional pressure will slow
the motor, rapidly wear the discs, and greatly reduce the rotational 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 polisher by overheating the motor; or damage to the workpiece.
Be sure to check your workpiece often. The sander polisher is capable of
removing material rapidly.
Do not sand or polish on one spot for too long. The sander’s rapid action may
remove too much material, creating an uneven surface.

Safety Warnings common for Sanding or Polishing Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a sander or polisher. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as grinding, wire brushing or cutting-off are not recommended to be per-
formed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a
hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specically designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer.Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on
the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and y apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rat-
ing of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the spindle thread. Accessories that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as a back-
ing pad for cracks, tears or excess wear. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory,
position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run
the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally
break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety
goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and
workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protec-
tion must be capable of stopping ying debris generated by various operations . The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of ltrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must
wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may y
away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning
accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near ammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any
other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn
causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at
the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that
is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out
or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of
the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these condi-
tions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and
can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist
kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kick-
back or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback
forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kick-
back will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the
accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and
cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specic for Sanding Operations
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommenda-
tions, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specic for Polishing Operations
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely.
Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings can
entangle your ngers or snag the workpiece.
SANDER POLISHER SAFETY WARNINGS

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.
This tool is double insulated in accordance with AS/NZS 60745-1;
therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord of this power tool is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available
through the service organization.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The
insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure
within the tool.
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.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, a residual current device (rated 30mA or less) must be used.
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.
