4. OPERATION
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or changing any accessories, or making any
adjustments.
4.1. Selecting the right grade of sanding disc
4.1.1. Sanding discs are available in a variety of different grades: coarse (60 grit), medium (120 grit) and ne (240 grit)
4.1.2. Use a coarse grit to sand down rough nishes, medium grit to smooth the work, and ne grit to nish off.
4.1.3. Always use good quality sanding discs to maximise the quality of the nished task.
4.1.4. It is advisable to do a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the optimum grades of sandpaper for a particular job. If there
are still marks on your work after sanding, try either going back to a coarser grade and sanding the marks out before recommencing
with the original choice of grit, or try using a new piece of sandpaper to eliminate the unwanted marks before going on to a ner grit
and nishing the job
4.2. Fitting a sanding disc
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power point before tting or removing sanding
discs.
4.2.1. Note: Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged sanding discs. Ensure foreign objects, such as nails and screws, are
removed from the workpiece before starting to sand.
WARNING: Do not use a sanding disc on wood that has previously been used on metal. This may cause scouring on the wooden
surface.
4.2.2. Remove any dust or debris from the Hook & Loop Sanding Base (1), before tting a sanding disc
4.2.3. Match the holes in a suitable disc with the holes in the base and simply press the disc to the base to attach it.
4.2.4. To remove the disc, peel it away from the base.
4.2.5. Note: To maximise the life of the Hook & Loop Sanding Base, peel the sanding disc off slowly rather than rapidly removing it to avoid
damage to the hook and loop system.
WARNING: Take care to regularly clean out the build-up of dust on the base underneath the sanding disc and not to let the disc wear
completely down before replacing it. Failure to observe these two precautionary measures can lead to damage to the hooks and loops
on the base, and the sanding disc will not attach properly.
WARNING: Never use the sander unless the entire base is covered by the sanding disc.
4.3. Dust extraction
4.3.1. WARNING: Always connect the sander to a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop dust extraction system if the sanding dust contains
harmful substances, such as particles from old paint, varnish, surface coatings etc. Always dispose of harmful dust according to local
laws and regulations.
WARNING: Take special care to guard against harmful and toxic dusts when sanding lead-based painted surfaces, woods and metals,
particularly if you are unsure about the exact substances involved. All persons entering the work area must wear a mask specially
designed for protection against the toxic dust and fumes involved. Children and pregnant women MUST NOT enter the work area.
DO NOT eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
4.3.2. This sander is designed to be connected to a household vacuum cleaner hose or workshop dust extraction system. This is the
preferred and most effective method of dust extraction

4.3.3. Connect a suitable vacuum hose to the Dust Extraction Port (7)
4.3.4. Note: The Dust Extraction Port is designed to t a 35mm diameter hose.
4.3.5. If no vacuum dust extraction system is available, the supplied Dust Bag (5) must be used:
4.3.6. Attach the Dust Bag to the Dust Extraction Port of the sander by pushing and twisting the bayonet tting on the Dust Bag Collar (6)
WARNING: For optimum dust extraction, remove and empty the Dust Bag when it is no more than half full.
WARNING: Remove and DO NOT use the Dust Bag when sanding metal. Hot metal particles and sparks could ignite residual wood
dust, or cause the Dust Bag to catch re. Always connect the sander to a suitable workshop dust extraction system when
sanding metal. Always clean the tool THOROUGHLY when switching from sanding wood to sanding metal, and vice versa.
4.4. Operation
WARNING: Always wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well as suitable gloves, when working with
this tool.
WARNING: Do not touch the moving sanding disc.
Note: Always use clamps to secure your workpiece to the workbench wherever possible.
 WARNING: Never allow the sandpaper to completely wear down before replacing it. Failure to observe these precautionary
measures can lead to damage to the hook and loop surfaces, resulting in sanding discs failing to attach properly.
4.5. Switching on and off
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles, an adequate dust mask, hearing protection and suitable gloves, when working with this
tool.
WARNING: Never switch the sander on when the base is in contact with the workpiece or any other surface, as this might cause
the operator to lose control over the machine, and lead to serious injury.
4.5.1. Connect the Power Cord (4) to the mains power supply.
4.5.2. Push the On/Off Switch (2) in to the ‘I’ position, to switch the sander ‘on’.
4.5.3. To switch ‘off’ the sander, push the On/Off switch in to the ‘O’ position
WARNING: Always wait until the machine has stopped vibrating completely before putting it down. Always disconnect from the
power supply after use.
4.6. Sanding
4.6.1. If the tool is connected to a vacuum dust extraction system, switch the extraction device ‘on’ before switching on the sander. Switch
the sander ‘off’ rst, then the vacuum system
4.6.2. Move the machine in a circular motion over the workpiece surface, applying an even, moderate pressure until you reach the desired
surface nish
WARNING: Excessive pressure does not lead to a faster removal of material; it will, however, lead to premature wear of the
sanding disc, and may cause damage to the machine.
4.6.3. If there are still scratches on your workpiece after sanding, refer to ‘Selecting the right grade of sanding disc’
5. MAINTENANCE
WARNING: Always disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
5.1. General inspection
5.1.1. Regularly check that all the xing screws are tight.
5.1.2. Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear.
5.1.3. Repairs should be carried out by an authorised service centre.
5.2. Emptying the dust extraction bag
WARNING: Always switch off and disconnect from the power supply before detaching the dust extraction system.
WARNING: Always wear respiratory protection, eye protection and gloves when emptying the Dust Bag (5).
5.2.1. Note: For optimum dust removal, empty the Dust Bag when it is no more than half full.
5.2.2. Detach the Dust Bag from the Dust Extraction Port of the sander by pulling and twisting the bayonet tting on the Dust Bag
Collar(6).
5.2.3. Dispose of the waste.
5.2.4. Attach the Dust Bag to the Dust Extraction Port of the sander by pushing and twisting the bayonet tting on the Dust Bag Collar

5.3. Cleaning
WARNING: Always wear protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when cleaning this tool.
5.3.1. Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and shorten the device’s service life.
5.3.2. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth.
5.3.3. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. If dry cleaning is not sufcient, a mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended.
