your sander in long sweeping movements across your work piece and even 

across the grain. For a finer finish, always use a fine grain sanding paper and 

only move the sander in the direction of the grit and never across the grain. Do 

not allow your sander to remain in the same position otherwise you will remove 

material and create an uneven surface.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR FINISHING SANDER

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.
Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.
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.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper fitted.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it will damage the base-plate. The 
guarantee does not cover base-plate wear and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces 
and fine grit for the final surfaces. If necessary, first make a test run on scrap 
material.
Use only good quality sandpaper.
The sandpaper controls the sanding efficiency, not the amount of force you apply 
to the tool. Excessive force will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor 
overload. Replacing the sandpaper regularly will maintain optimum sanding 
efficiency.

MAINTENANCE

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. 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.
