o. ALWAYS unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing or replacing
sandpaper
p. Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe use of this tool, do not use it
WARNING: Dust generated by using power tools can be toxic. Some materials may be
chemically treated or coated and be a toxic hazard. Some natural and composite materials may
contain toxic chemicals. Some older paints may contain lead and other chemicals. Avoid prolonged
exposure to dust generated from operating a sander. DO NOT allow dust to get onto skin or eyes
and do not allow the dust to enter your mouth to prevent absorption of harmful chemicals. Where
possible, work in a well-ventilated area. Use a suitable dust mask and dust extraction system where
possible. Where there is a higher frequency of exposure, it is more critical that all safety precautions
are followed and a higher level of personal protection is used.

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
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.
