Coarse grit will remove the most material and finer grit will give you the best finish in all 
sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit 
will do the job.
If the surface is rough: 
Start with coarse grit (sold separately) and sand until the surface is uniform. Then 
use medium to remove any scratches left by the coarse grit. Then use finer grit (sold 
separately) for finishing the surface.
Note: Always continue sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform.

Operating Instructions

Working Hints For Your 1/3 Sheet Sander

Maintenance

1.  If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maximum 

and run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low speeds. 

Always use sand paper that is suitable for the material you want to sand.

2.  Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.

3.  Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.

4.  Start your sander before sanding and turn it off only after you stop sanding. For the best results, 

sand wood in the direction of the grain.

5.  Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.

6.  Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it will damage the base-plate. The guarantee does not 

cover base-plate wear and tear.

7.  Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and ine grit for the 

final surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap material.

8.  Use only good quality sandpaper.

9.  The sandpaper controls the sanding efficiency, not the amount of force you apply to he tool. 

Excessive force will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing the 

sandpaper regularly will maintain optimum sanding efficiency.

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.  
There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical 
cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power 
tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free 
of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal 
and will not damage your power tool.                                  
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent 
or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
