Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your new tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or changing
any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Selecting the right grade of sanding disc
• Sanding discs are available in a variety of different grades: coarse (60 grit), medium (120 grit)
and fine (240 grit)
• Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work, and fine grit
to finish off
• Always use good quality sanding discs to maximise the quality of the finished task
• 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 finer grit and finishing the job
Fitting a sanding disc
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power
point before fitting or removing sanding discs.
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.
1. Remove any dust or debris from the Hook & Loop Sanding Base (1), before fitting a sanding disc
2. Match the holes in a suitable disc with the holes in the base
3. Simply press the disc to the base to attach it
4. To remove the disc, peel it away from the base
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.
Dust extraction
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 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
6
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.
• 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
• Connect a suitable vacuum hose to the Dust Extraction Port (7)
Note: The Dust Extraction Port is designed to fit a 32mm diameter hose.
• If no vacuum dust extraction system is available, the supplied Dust Bag (5) must be used:
• Attach the Dust Bag to the Dust Extraction Port of the sander by pushing and twisting the bayonet
fitting 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 fire. 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.
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.
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.
1. Connect the Power Cord (4) to the mains power supply
2. Push the On/Off Switch (2) in to the 'I' position, to switch the sander 'on'
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.
Sanding
• 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' first, then the vacuum system
• Move the machine in a circular motion over the workpiece surface, applying an even, moderate
pressure until you reach the desired surface finish
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.
• If there are still scratches on your workpiece after sanding, refer to 'Selecting the right grade
of sanding disc'
Accessories
• A range of accessories and consumables, including Hook & Loop Discs Punched 10pk 60 Grit,
120 Grit, and 240 Grit, is available from your SILVERLINE stockist. Spare parts can be obtained
from toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out any inspection,
maintenance or cleaning.
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear. Repairs should be
carried out by an authorised SILVERLINE service centre. This advice also applies to extension
cords used with this tool
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).
Note: For optimum dust removal, empty the Dust Bag when it is no more than half full.
1. Detach the Dust Bag from the Dust Extraction Port of the sander by pulling and twisting the
bayonet fitting on the Dust Bag Collar (6)
