• Use protective mask if the dust appears during sanding. Dust, which
appears when sanding surfaces coated with lead-based paint, some
types of wood and metal, is harmful.
• Pregnant women and children should not enter the room where
lead-based paint is removed with the use of sander.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke in the room where lead-based paint is
removed with the sander.
• Avoid using long extension cords.
When operating the sander
• Wear earmuff protectors and protection half-mask always when
using the sander.

CONSTRUCTION AND USE
Orbital sanders are hand-operated power tools with insulation class II.
Tools are driven by single-phase commutator motors. Orbital sander is
designed for sanding and polishing surfaces of wood, metal, plastic and
similar materials, with the use of sanding paper with appropriate gradation.
Range of use covers repair and building works, and any work from the
range of individual, amateur activities (tinkering).
Do not use the sander for sanding surfaces that contain magnesium or
asbestos, or covered with gypsum.
OPERATION
Choosing sanding paper
Coarse-grained sanding paper is used for coarse processing of most
materials, while fine-grained paper is used for finishing works.
• When the surface is not flat, start the work with coarse-grained
sanding paper and continue until the surface is flat.
• Next use middle-grained paper to remove traces of coarse
processing.
• To finish the work use fine-grained sanding paper.
Installing sanding paper
Orbital sander is equipped with pad with so called hook-and-loop and only
perforated sanding paper of appropriate size should be used.
• Put the sanding paper close to the sander backing pad.

• Place the paper so it's holes match holes on the sander backing pad
(fig. B)
• Press the sanding paper against the backing pad.
• Ensure that the holes on the sanding paper and backing pad fully
match; it ensures possibility of dust extraction.
Switching on / switching off
• Turning On - Move the switch on the top of the body to the on
position.
• Shutdown - Slide the switch on the top of the body to the off position.
Speed setting
The sander is equipped with a knob to change the speed of the rotation.
The speed increases with the number selected on the handwheel (fig. C).
Orbital sander operation
Whole area of backing pad must rest on the processed surface.
Turn the sander on and apply moderate pressure; move it on the
processed material in circular movements, in transverse or lengthwise
direction.
For coarse processing use sanding paper with coarse grain, for finishing
processing use fine-grained paper. It is best to match the type of sanding
paper by trials and errors.
When finishing polishing, reduce pressure, lift the sander above the
processed surface and only after that switch the tool off.
Dust extraction system
The sander is equipped with a built-in dust extraction system located at
the rear of the device. It has been designed to work with a box put directly
on the exhaust or with a vacuum cleaner. The box should be emptied
regularly.

STORING AND MAINTENANCE
Unplug the power cord from the mains socket before commencing any
activities related to installation, adjustment, repair or maintenance.
Always keep the sander clean.
Remember to always keep the ventilation holes of the sander casing
pervious.
Never use any caustic agents for cleaning plastic parts.
In case of excessive commutator sparking check technical condition of
carbon brushes of the motor.
Replacement of backing pad
Damaged backing pad must be replaced immediately
• Unscrew four screws that fix the backing pad.
• Remove and replace the backing pad.
• Screw the fixing screws.
Replacement of carbon brushes
Replace immediately used up (shorter than 5 mm), burnt or cracked motor
carbon brushes. Always replace both brushes at a time.
Entrust replacement of carbon brushes only to a qualified person. Only
original parts should be used.
All faults should be repaired by service workshop authorized by the
manufacturer.
