DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS
When sanding wood and metal surfaces coated with paints with lead
additives, harmful or toxic dust may appear. Contact or inhalation
of such dust may endanger operator’s or other persons’ health. Use
appropriate personal protection measures such as filter masks and
safety glasses. Use dust extraction system.
PRIOR TO SANDER OPERATION
• During operation hold the sander firmly with both hands.
• Ensure the sanding paper does not touch processed material prior
to switching the sander on.
• Ensure the abrasive paper is well installed and paper clamping
levers are in locking position before switching the sander on.
• Do not touch moving parts of the sander.
• After switching off, do not put away the sander until all moving
parts stop.
• Use protective mask if the dust appears during sanding. Dust, which
appears when sanding surfaces coated with lead-based paint, some
types of wood and metal, is harmful.
• Pregnant women and children should not enter the room where
lead-based paint is removed with the use of sander.
• Do not eat, drink or smoke in the room where lead-based paint is
removed with the sander.
• Avoid using long extension cords.

• When using the sander, always wear earmuff protectors and
protection half-mask.

• Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging the sander
to a power supply.
• Keep the power cord away from moving parts of the sander.
• Use safety goggles or glasses when operating the sander above head.
• When operating the sander do not apply excessive pressure that
might stop the tool.
CAUTION! This device is designed to operate indoors.
The design is assumed to be safe, protection measures and
additional safety systems are used, nevertheless there is always
a small risk of operational injuries.
CONSTRUCTION AND USE
Finishing sander is a hand-held power tool driven by a single-phase
commutator motor. Due to a proper insulation there is no possibility to
touch any metal parts that accidentally might be live. The sander does
not require earth lead (insulation class II). Finishing sander is designed
for surface sanding of wood products, polishing wood surfaces with
lacquer coating, fine polishing of lacquered metal surfaces, removal
of rust or specks of lacquer before applying new lacquer, finishing of
concrete surfaces etc. Range of use covers repair and building works,
woodworking and any work from the scope of individual, amateur
activities (tinkering).
Do not use the sander for sanding surfaces that contain
magnesium or asbestos, or covered with gypsum.

PREPARATION FOR OPERATION
CHOOSING SANDING PAPER
Coarse-grained sanding paper is generally used for coarse processing
of most materials, while fine-grained paper is used for finishing works.
• When the surface is not flat, start the work with coarse-grained
sanding paper and continue until the surface is flat.
• Next use middle-grained paper to remove traces of coarse processing.
• To finish the work use fine-grained sanding paper.
INSTALLATION OF SANDING PAPER
Disconnect the power tool from power supply.
• Select sanding paper gradation appropriate for the planned task.
• To soften the paper, rub its smooth side against an edge, for
instance of a tabletop.
• Loosen sanding paper clamps ( 5 ) ( fig. A ).
• Fix the sanding paper to the sander backing pad ( 6 ).
• Ensure that the holes on the sanding paper ( 8 ) and backing pad ( 6 )
fully match ( fig. B ).
• Bend both ends of the sanding path on the sander backing pad edges.
• Tighten sanding paper clamps ( 5 ) ( fig. C ).
• Ensure the sanding paper is installed properly.
Sanding paper must adhere to the sander backing pad. There must
be no slack. If the paper stretches during sanding, remove the
slack. It will significantly prolong the lifetime of the sanding paper.
