Accessories (not shown):
• 2 x 80 Grit Sanding Discs
Intended Use
Compact random orbit sander with dust bag, for light duty sanding tasks on
various materials.
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.
Switching on and off
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles, an adequate dust mask, hearing
protection and suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
WARNING:
Never switch the sander on when the base is in contact with the
workpiece or any other surface, as this might cause the operator to lose control
over the machine, and lead to serious injury.
