WARNING! – Risk of Hand Arm Vibration Injury.
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a): ...............4.4 m/s²
Uncertainty value (k):..............................................2.2 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a
specic evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user (or employer) will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical.
Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors.
Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration.
The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration
Syndrome.
Health surveillance.
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be
modified accordingly.
Personal protective equipment.
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the
uncontrolled use of this tool. We recommend a sufficient supply of clothing (including gloves) to enable the operator to remain warm and dry and

4.1. Use of Tool.
4.1.1. Before each use of tool make sure that the pneumatic system is not damaged.
Damaged parts should be replaced before use.
4.1.2. Dry the pneumatic system before use.
4.2. Connection of the tool to pneumatic system.
4.2.1. Let a few drops of oil with a viscosity SAE 10 to the air inlet.
4.2.2. Screw air connector into body of sander (g.1).
4.2.3. Connect the tool to pneumatic system using a hose of inner diameter
10 mm / 3/8 “. Make sure that the hose resilience is at least 1,38 Mpa (g.3).
4.2.4. Adjust the air pressure.
4.2.5. Start the tool for few seconds making sure that it does not produce any
suspicious noises or vibrations.
4.3. Assembly (g.2.)
4.3.1. Ensure maximum speed of abrasive disc is greater than that ot the sander.
4.3.2. Lock the spindle (g.2). with spanner
4.3.3. Holding the spindle, rmly tighten the wheel to spindle.
4.3.4. Grinder is equipped with Velcro to allow installation of various overlays, such as sandpaper. Sandpaper should be placed
concentrically. It is recommended to attach to disc the sanding sheet with holes cut out so that the holes in the disc match
the holes in shield. This will increase the efciency of removal of dust created during operation.
Attention! Before attachment of the overlay you should check it for a damage, DO NOT use damaged overlays.
4.4. Connecting of the grinder to dust extraction system (g.4.)
4.4.1. GSA06 is equipped with a connector for connecting a hose / dust bag (supplied). The hose must be pulled onto the connector
for dust extraction. At the other end of the hose attach bag for dust collection and secure it with a hose clamp (available separately). The
stream of air, which is created during the sanding operation, will provide dust extraction. Increase of efciency of dust extraction can be
achieved by connecting the other end of hose to the dust extraction systems, eg. industrial vacuum cleaner.
4.4.2. GSA05 Can be attached to an extraction system via a hose (not supplied).
4.4.3. GSA04 Has no dust extraction.
8DO NOT attached a bag directly to the sander the rotating wheel may catch the bag.
4.5. Operation of the sander.
4.5.1. On the wheel attach overlay, which is appropriate for task. Depress valve lever to start the sander and allow the disk to reach its full
speed, before use.

5.3.1. Disconnect the tool from pneumatic system.
5.3.2. Introduce a small amount of preservative uid (for example wd-40) through the air inlet and connect the tool to the pneumatic system
and run it for about 30 seconds. This will distribute the preservative liquid on the tool interior and clean it. Disconnect the tool from
pneumatic system again.
5.3.3. A small quantity of SAE 10 oil let into the tool interior via air inlet. It is recommended to use SAE 10 oil intended for maintenance of
pneumatic tools. Connect the tool and run it for a short time. WD - 40 may not serve as the appropriate lubricating oil. Remove excess oil
5.3.4. Every 6 months, or after 100 hours of work you should submit the tool for examination by a qualied person.
A damaged / faulty tool can cause injuries. Any repair of the tool must be carried out by qualied person in an authorized repair workshop.
6. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Failure Possible solution
The tool speed is too slow
or it does not start
Let a small amount of WD-40 through the air inlet. Run the tool for a few seconds. The blades may stick to the
rotor. Run the tool for about 30 seconds. Lubricate the tool with small amount of oil. Attention! The excess of oil
can cause a decrease in power of tool. In this case, you should clean the drive.
The tool starts and then
slows down
The compressor does not provide enough air. The tool starts by the air collected in the tank of compressor. As
the tank is emptying, the compressor has not kept pace with the relling of air shortages. Connect the device
to a more efcient compressor.
Insufcient power Make sure that the air hoses have an internal diameter as specied. Check the air pressure, whether it is set
to the maximum value. Make sure that the tool is properly cleaned and lubricated. In the absence of results,
submit the tool for repair.
