The declared vibration total value may be used for
comparing one tool with another, and may also be used
in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
WARNING: The vibration emission value during
actual use of the power tool can differ from the
declared value depending on the ways in which the tool
is used dependant on the following examples and other
variations on how the tool is used:
How the tool is used and the materials being cut or
drilled.
The tool being in good condition and well maintained
The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it
is sharp and in good condition.

9
The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti
vibration accessories are used.
And the tool is being used as intended by its design and
these instructions.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome
if its use is not adequately managed.
WARNING:To be accurate, an estimation of
exposure level in the actual conditions of use
should take account of all parts of the operating cycle
such as the times when the tool is switched off and when
it is running idle but not actually doing the job.This may
significantly reduce the exposure level over the total
working period.
Helping to minimize your vibration exposure risk.
ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades.
Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions
and keep well lubricated (where appropriate).
If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti
vibration accessories.
Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10oC or less.
Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration
tool use across a number of days.

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 refer-
ence.
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

10
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, 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 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, 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 finger 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

11
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 qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

WORK HINTS FOR YOUR PALM 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

13
the amount of force you apply to the tool. Excessiveforce
will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor
overload. Replacing the sanding paper regularly will
maintain optimum sanding efficiency.
MAINTENANCE
Remove the plug 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.
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
Waste electrical products should not be disposed
of with household waste. Please recycle where
facilities exist. Check with your local authority or
retailer for recycling advice.
