before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance.
WARNING:
Before fitting sanding sheets, ensure the sander is disconnected from the power supply.
Note:
DO NOT continue to use worn, torn, or heavily clogged sanding sheets. Ensure foreign
objects, such as nails and screws, are removed from the workpiece before commencing sanding.
WARNING:
DO NOT use a sanding sheet on wood that has previously been used on metal. This
may cause scouring on the wooden surface. DO NOT use this sander for sanding magnesium.
Note:
Before every use drip 3 droplets of Air Tool Oil (not
supplied) into the Air Inlet (6) to increase tool longevity.
Fitting the quick connector
Note:
This tool is supplied with two different male air line quick connectors:
EQ-4
commonly used
in Europe
EN-6
mainly used
in the UK
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the air line
system you are using, and install as outlined below:
1. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick
Connector (7). This will help to maintain an air-tight seal
Note:
Apply PTFE tape tightly, and in a clockwise direction, so it does
not come off when the thread is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the Air Inlet (6)
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the Quick Connector into
the Air Inlet located at the base of the handle
4. Connect to air line, pressurise carefully, and carry out a leak check (e.g. by spraying
small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of the connectors)
• Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push fit to the tool

RECOIL HOSE
• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler and water separator
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated
(see “Specifications”)
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are
correctly rated for the air pressure to be used
Attaching the backing pad
1. Lock the Oscillating Spindle (1) in position by inserting the Spindle
Locking Tool (8) into the Spindle Locking Hole (10)
Note:
Once the Spindle Locking Tool is inserted in the Spindle Locking Hole, the threaded
insert within the Oscillating Spindle may need to be turned until it properly locks in position.
2. With the Oscillating Spindle free from movement, screw-
in the Hook & Loop Backing Pad (9) securely
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 carry out a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the
optimum grit grade for a particular job. If there are still marks on the workpiece 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 sanding disc to
eliminate the unwanted marks before moving on to a finer grit and finishing the job
Attaching a hook & loop sanding disc
• With the sander disconnected from the air supply, firmly press the hook
g.
The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to
children, pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure.
DO NOT allow these
people near to the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
h.
Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and waste
i.
Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and
metal sanding. Sparks from metal can easily ignite wood dust.
ALWAYS clean your machine thoroughly to reduce the risk of fire
j.
Empty the dust bag or container (where applicable) frequently during use, before taking
breaks and after completion of sanding.
Dust may be an explosion hazard. DO NOT throw
sanding dust into an
open fire. Spontaneous combustion may occur when oil or water
particles come into contact with dust particles. Dispose of waste materials
carefully and in accordance with local laws and regulations.
k.
Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use. If
there is evidence of burning (smoke or ash), from the work surface, stop and allow the
material to cool.
DO NOT touch work surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool
l.
DO NOT touch the moving sandpaper
m.
ALWAYS switch off before you put the sander down
n.
DO NOT use for wet sanding.
Liquids entering the motor
housing can cause severe electric shocks
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
Additional Safety Instructions
for Pneumatic Sanding Tools
• Inspect the backing pad before use. Do not use if cracked or broken or if it has been dropped
• Never run the tool unless abrasive is applied to the workpiece
• Grinding wheels and cutting-off tools shall not be used
• Check that the maximum operating speed of the inserted tool (flap wheels, abrasive belts,
fibre discs, backing pads, etc.), is higher than the rated speed of the sander or polisher
• Self-fixing sander discs shall be placed concentrically on the supporting pad
• Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., which
can cause a hazard if damaged by use of the tool
