Cleaning

1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all

times.

2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done

with a rag.

3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. If the body of the sander needs cleaning, wipe it with

a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but
nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent. 

5. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.

Caution.

Water must never come into contact with the

sander.

Repairs

1. Only an authorised service centre should replace the

cordset or effect other repairs. If the cordset is
damaged or worn, have it repaired or replaced by an
authorised service centre.
