Instruction manual
Punching holes in sandpaper
The sandpaper must have 8 holes punched in it to allow the
sanding dust to escape from the working surface.
The pattern of these holes must match the hole pattern on the
EN
sanding pad (2). Refer to the picture in [F4] for dimension and
location of the holes in sandpaper.
Initial operation
Always use the correct supply voltage: the power supply voltage
must match the information quoted on the tool identification
plate.
Switching On/Off
The device should only be turned on when the entire surface
of the sanding pad (2) is in contact with the workpiece.
Failure to follow this sanding procedure could result in loose
sandpaper which could result in possible injury.

Switching On
Press the On/Off switch (1) to "I" position.
Switching Off
Press the On/Off switch (1) to "0" position.
Operating instructions
Verify the following every time the device is used: sandpaper
is in good condition and properly installed; the workpiece is
properly secured and free from any foreign objects; personal
protective equipment is adopted.
1.
Clamp or otherwise secure your workpiece to prevent it
from moving under the device while being sanded.
2.
Place the device on the workpiece so that the complete
sandpaper surface is in contact with the workpiece.
NOTE: Hold the device using the handle grip on top of the
device. Be careful NOT to cover the ventilation slots with your
hand, because it could cause the motor to be damaged by
overheating.
3.
Turn the palm sander on.
4.
Move the palm sander slowly over the workpiece
making successive passes in parallel lines, circles or crosswise
movements.
5.
Upon completion of the sanding operation, turn the
palm sander off and wait until the sanding pad (2) comes to a
complete stop before removing it from the workpiece.

WARNING
WARNING
ATTENTION
Do not force the device!
•
The weight of the palm sander usually provides adequate
pressure. Let the device and sandpaper do the work. Applying
added pressure will slow the motor, increase the wear on the
sandpaper and greatly reduce the tool speed. Excessive pressure
will overload the motor causing overheating. It will also create
an inferior finish on sanded work. Any finish or resin on wood
will soften from the frictional heat, causing sandpaper to
become clogged quickly.
•
Do not sand in one spot too long as the palm sander's rapid
action may remove too much material, making the surface
uneven.
•
Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the
motor. If this occurs, turn the palm sander off, wait until the
sanding pad (2) comes to a complete stop and remove it
from the workpiece. Check to make sure your hand has not
been covering the ventilation slots. Let the motor cool before
continuing the sanding operation.
Maintenance and storage
CAUTION
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains plug.
•
Always keep the tool and the ventilation slots (if present)
cleaned. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the appliance
will ensure efficiency and prolong the life of your tool.
•
If the tool should fail despite the rigorous manufacturing
and testing procedures, the repair should be carried out by an
authorized IVT customer service.
•
Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight, to be sure the tool is in
safe working condition.
•
Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
•
Use only original spare parts. Parts not produced by
manufacturer may cause poor fit and possible injury.
•
Store the tool in a dry room out of reach of kids and away
from any flammable material.
•
Never wet the device or spray water on it!
WARNING
To avoid fire or toxic reaction and to avoid damaging plastic
parts, never use gasoline, petroleum-based products,
naphtha, acetone, brake fluids, lacquer thinner or similar
highly volatile solvents to clean the tool.
•
Use a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease etc.
•
You can clean the tool also by blowing it out with an air jet .
•
Periodically blow out all ventilation slots with dry
compressed air.
WARNING
It is critical that you also wear safety goggles with side shields
and a dust mask while blowing dust out of the sander with an
air jet. Failure to take these safety precautions could result in
