the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built
into this product, but must be applied.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
On / Off (NVR) Switch:
Once fully assembled and adjusted, and all safety precautions have been followed;
the sander is ready to be run.
Your SIP 12” Disc Sander is fitted with a safety NVR (No Volt Release) switch. This means
that if power is cut to the sander (such as in a power failure); the motor will not start to
run once the power is returned without the operator following the above instructions to
restart the sander.
To start the sander - press the green (I) button.
To stop the sander - press the red (0) button.
Setting The Angle Of The Table:
The table may be set at any angle from 0°-45°.
Loosen the 2 x angle locks (11) - 1 either side of the sander.
Set the table to the desired angle, as shown on the angle scale.
Tighten the angle locks securely to lock the table in position.
Using The Mitre Gauge:
The mitre gauge can be used to support the work-piece during sanding operations,
and aid when sanding specific angles, and can also, in conjunction with the main
table, be used to perform compound sanding operations.
To adjust the angle of the mitre gauge:
Unlock the locking screw and set according to the scale.
Re-tighten to secure the angle.
Rubber Feet:
If desired, the rubber anti vibration feet on the base can be removed and the unit be
secured permanently to a bench, or similar by means of four screws / bolts and wash-
ers etc.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand
and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe.
You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for wear or
damage.
You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appro-
priate safety devices; A residual current circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated
in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a residual current Device
(RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are
plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a
qualified electrician.
Connecting to the power supply:
This SIP sander is fitted with a standard 230v ~ 13 amp type plug. Before using the
machine, inspect the mains lead and plug to ensure that neither are damaged. If
any damage is visible have the machine inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified
person. If it is necessary to replace the plug a heavy duty impact resistant plug would
be preferable.
The wires for the plug are coloured in the following way:
Yellow / green Earth
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the markings in your plug, pro-
ceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue, must be connected to the terminal
marked with N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown, must be connect-
ed to the terminal, which is marked L or coloured red. The wire which is coloured yel-
low / green should be connected to the terminal which is coloured the same or
marked
Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully and tightly. Secure the cable in
the cord grip carefully.
