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, 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.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can
cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
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

Random orbit sander WX655
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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling
and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
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.
Additional safety rules:
1) Recommendation that the tool always be
supplied via a residual current device with a
rated residual current of 30 mA or less.

Variable speed control
With the variable speed control, the
required speed can be selected (also
while running).
The required speed is dependent on
the material and is to be determined
by a practical trial.
After longer periods of working at
low speed, allow the machine to
cool down by running it for approx.
3 minutes at maximum speed with
no load.
See Fig. F
Orbital sanding See Fig G
Selecting the right grade of
sandpaper
NOTE:The sandpaper is Different
grades of sanding sheet . Available
grades range from coarse to fine.This
machine can only fit special sanding
paper, which can be purchased from
the store where the sander was
purchased, or www.worx.com.
Changing the Outer/Inner Pad See Fig H1,
H2, H3, H4
WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
SANDER
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when
used at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run
it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid
prolonged usage at very low speeds. Always use sand
paper that is suitable for the material you want to sand.
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 it off only
after you stop sanding. For the best results, sand wood
in the direction of the grain.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper
fitted.
Do not allow the sand paper 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 run on scrap material.
Use only good quality sand paper.
The sand paper controls the sanding efficiency, not
the amount of force you apply to the tool. Excessive
force will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause
motor overload. Replacing the sand paper regularly will
maintain optimum sanding efficiency.
An integrated sanding plate brake reduces the speed
when running at no load so that scoring is avoided when
placing the machine on the work piece. A continuously
increasing no-load speed over the course of time
indicates that the sanding plate brake is worn and must
be replaced by an authorized customer service location.
MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE
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. 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.
