Keep the power cable well clear of the working area.
Always use a face mask if excessive amounts of dust are

stopped.
Fitting sandpaper
Disconnect the sander from the mains.
Select sandpaper with the appropriate grain size for the task.
Fit the sandpaper on the sanding pad Velcro (8) Check the
paper is stretched tautly over the pad and that the holes are
aligned to allow extraction of dust.
Use
Check that the dust bag (6) is correctly fitted and that the
correct type of sandpaper is being used.
Hold the sander with one hand on the handle (2) and the
other on the support handle (1). Switch on by pressing the
on/off button (5).
Apply the sander to the item. The sanding pad works in
small circular movements.
For continuous use over extended periods, the on/off but-
ton can be held down by pressing the lock button (4) in at
the same time the on/off button is depressed. The lock but-
ton can be released by pressing the on/off button in as far
as it will go.
Give the sander time to work. It is rarely necessary to press
the pad hard against the surface to be worked.
Start with coarse sandpaper and switch to finer paper if/
when required. If a very smooth surface is required, clean
the item thoroughly with a soft cloth after the final sanding.
Switch to very fine sandpaper and give the item one extra
sanding.
Avoid blocking the ventilation slots (7) with your hand, as
this may cause the sander to overheat.
Switch off by releasing the on/off button.
