General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire 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
flammable 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. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, 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 influence 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, 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 finger on the switch or energising power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
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) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is
suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.

Operating Instructions
3. EMPTYING THE DUST BOX (SEE FIG. C1, C2)
For more efficient operation, empty dust box every 5-10mins. This will permit the air
to flow through the box better. Pull out the box. Remove the box cover, and then shake
out dust. It is recommended to clean the filter regularly for better performance.
4. CHANGE THE BASES
1) Remove the 5 Phillips head screws holding the triangular base. (See Fig. D1)
2) Replace triangular base by fastening the detail sanding attachment to base position.
3) Fix it by 5 screws. (See Fig. D2)
4) Similar process is conducted when detail sanding attachment is changed to
triangular base.
5. SELECT THE RIGHT SAND PAPER
Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an extremely important decision that will
allow you to achieve the best quality sanding finish.
Coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will give you the best finish in all sanding
operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job.
If the surface is rough:
Start with coarse grit (sold separately) and sand until the surface is uniform. Then use
medium grit to remove any scratches left by the coarse grit. Then use finer grit (sold
separately) for finishing the surface.
NOTE: Always continue sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform.

Operating Instructions
BEFORE PUTTING INTO OPERATION
1. BEFORE USING YOUR CORDLESS TOOL
WARNING: The charger and battery pack are specially designed to work together so do
not attempt to use any other devices. Never insert or allow metallic objects into your
charger or battery pack connections because of an electrical failure and hazard will occur.
The Li-Ion battery is protected against deep discharging. When the battery is empty, the
tool is switched off by means of a protective circuit: The tool holder no longer rotates. In
a warm environment or after heavy use, the battery pack may become too hot to permit
charging. Allow time for the battery to cool down before recharging.
When the battery pack is charged for the first time and after prolonged storage, the
battery pack will accept a 100% charge after several charge and discharge cycles.
2. TO REMOVE OR INSTALL BATTERY PACK (See Fig. E1, E2)
Press the battery pack latch and remove the battery pack from the sander. After recharge slide
the battery pack into sander’s battery port. A simple push and slight pressure will be sufficient.
3. HOW TO CHARGE YOUR BATTERY PACK (See Fig. F)
Charging procedure
1) Plug the charger into an appropriate outlet. The light will be green.
2) Slide the battery pack into the charger, the light will turn to red to indicate the
charging process has started.
3) When charging is completed, the light will turn to green. The pack is now fully
charged, unplug the charger and remove the battery pack.
WARNING: When battery charge runs out after continuously use or exposure to
direct sunlight or heat, allow time for the tool to cool down before re-charging to
achieve the full charge.
CHARGING INDICATOR
This charger is designed to detect some problems that can arise with battery packs.
Indicator lights indicate problems (see table below). If this occurs, insert a new battery
pack to determine if the charger is OK. If the new battery charges correctly, then the
original pack is defective and should be returned to a service center or recycling service
center. If the new battery pack displays the same problem as the original Battery Pack,
have the charger tested at an authorized service center.

OPERATION
1. OPERATING THE ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE FIG. G)
To start your sander, depress the protective cover over the switch at the position marked
“I”. To stop your sander, depress the protective cover at the position marked “O”.
2. FLUSH SANDING FACILITY (SEE FIG. H)
Your sander can sand flush on three sides of the base-plate which allows easy access to
corners and edges of moulding.
3. ORBITAL SANDING
Your sander operates in small circular rotations which allows efficient material removal.
Operate your sander in long sweeping movements across your workpiece and even
across the grain. For a finer finish, always use a fine grain sandpaper and only move the
sander in the direction of the grain and never across the grain.
Do not allow your sander to remain in the same position otherwise you will remove
material and create and uneven surface.

Work Hints For Your Sander
If your power tool becomes too hot, run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor.
Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.
Start your sander before sanding and turn off only after stopping sanding. For best results
sand wood in the direction of the grit.
Do not start sanding without sandpaper fitted.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it will damage the base-plate. The guarantee
does not cover base-plate wear and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine
grit for the final surfaces. If necessary, first make a test on scrap material.
Use only good quality sandpaper.
The sanding efficiency is controlled by the sandpaper not the amount of force you apply
to the tool. Excessive force will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor overload.
Replacing the sanding paper regularly will maintain optimum sanding efficiency.
ATTENTION:
1. At all times, let the sander do the work-do not force it or apply excessive pressure to
the sander. Preferably, use a light circular motion. Pressing too hard will slow down the
machine’s movement and affect the quality of the work.
2. The most common error, however, is applying too much wax. If pad absorbs too much
wax, it will not last as long, and polishing is more difficult and takes longer. If wax seems
difficult to buff, you may have used too much wax.
3. If pad continually comes off base plate, please try with a new pad.
Maintenance
Remove the battery pack from the socket before carrying out any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power
tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free
of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal
and will not damage your power tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
For Battery tools
The ambient temperature range for the use and storage of tool and battery is 0oC-45oC.
The recommended ambient temperature range for the charging system during charging is
0oC-40oC.
