• Keep the vents of the sander clean at all times. If possible, prevent foreign
matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the sander housing to ensure it is free from
all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the
sander to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the sander requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a
moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the sander; never immerse
any part of the sander into a liquid.
Carbon Brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the sander
polisher will spark and/or stop. Discontinue use as
soon as this happens. They should be replaced
prior to recommencing use of the sander polisher.
Carbon brushes are a wearing component of the
sander and are therefore not covered under warranty.
Continuing to use the sander when carbon brushes
need to be replaced may cause permanent damage
to the sander. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses. When the carbon
brushes need to be replaced, take the sander polisher to an electrician or a
power tool repairer for a quick and low cost replacement. Always replace both
carbon brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries
caused by the repair of the sander polisher by an unauthorised person or by
mishandling of the sander.

Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents
and/or the drill failing to operate
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and need to be replaced. Carbon
brushes should only be replaced by a qualified electrician or power tool repairer.
Sandpaper Selection
Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an important step in achieving
optimum results. Coarse grit will remove the most material. Finer grit will
produce a smoother finish. The condition of the workpiece will determine the
grit of the sandpaper to be used. The higher the grit number, the finer the
grade of sandpaper.
If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is
uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser
grit. Finer grit is then used to finish the surface. Always continue sanding with
each grade of sandpaper until the surface is uniform.

Note
: If intermediate sanding is required, choose a grit rating between coarse and
fine. The above table is intended as a guide only. To ensure a satisfactory result,
a small, inconspicuous area should first be tested to ensure the grit of sandpaper
chosen is suitable for the desired finish.
Operation tips
Never force the sander polisher. The weight of the unit supplies adequate
pressure, allowing the discs to do the work. Applying additional pressure will slow
the motor, rapidly wear the discs, and greatly reduce the rotational speed. This
will slow the removal rate and produce an inferior quality surface.
CAUtION
: Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing possible damage
to the sander polisher by overheating the motor; or damage to the workpiece.
Be sure to check your workpiece often. The sander polisher is capable of
removing material rapidly.
Do not sand or polish on one spot for too long. The sander’s rapid action may
remove too much material, creating an uneven surface.
