VIBRATION INFORMATION

Vibration total values (triax vector sum) determined according to EN 60745:

Typical weighted vibration	Vibration emission value a_h = 3.38m/s^2
	Uncertainty K = 1.5m/s2

WARNING: The vibration emission value during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value depending on the ways in which the tool is used dependant on the

following examples and other variations on how the tool is used:

How the tool is used and the materials being cut or drilled.

The tool being in good condition and well maintained

The use the correct accessory for the tool and ensuring it is sharp and in good condition.

The tightness of the grip on the handles and if any anti vibration accessories are used.

And the tool is being used as intended by its design and these instructions.

This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is not adequately managed.

WARNING: To be accurate, an estimation of exposure level in the actual conditions of use should also take account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool is switched off and when it is running idle but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

Helping to minimise your vibration exposure risk.

ALWAYS use sharp chisels, drills and blades

Maintain this tool in accordance with these instructions and keep well lubricated (where appropriate)

If the tool is to be used regularly then invest in anti vibration accessories.

Avoid using tools in temperatures of 10^0 C or less

Plan your work schedule to spread any high vibration tool use across a number of days

NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book carefully.

INTENDED USE

The machine is intended for dry sanding of wood, plastic, filler and coated surfaces.

1. FITTING THE SANDING PAPER (See Fig. A)

Fit the paper over the pad so that it covers the entire area. Make sure the sanding paper is even with the edges and that the dust collection holes in the pad and sanding paper is aligned and the sanding paper evenly overlaps the pad. Never use your sander without a sanding paper.

2. USING THE DUST ADAPTER (See Fig. B)

Your sander is equipped with a dust adapter, which is designed for collecting dust task. Insert the dust adapter into the rear dust outlet of sander. Then pull the dust adapter and make sure it is tightened securely on the dust outlet. Then connect the hose of a vacuum cleaner. First please turn on the vacuum cleaner, then turn on the sander. If you stop sanding, first turn off the sander, then turn off your vacuum cleaner.

3. ON/OFF SWITCH

To start your sander, depress the protective cover over the switch at the position marked "I". To stop your sander, depress the protective cover at the position marked "0".

4. FLUSH SANDING FACILITY

Your sander can sand flush on three sides of the base-plate which allows easy access to corners and edges of moulding.

5. ORBITAL SANDING

Your sander operates in small circular rotations which allows efficient material removal. Operate your sander in long sweeping movements across your workpiece and even across the grain. For a finer finish, always use a fine grain sandpaper and only move the sander in the direction of the grain and never across the grain.

Do not allow your sander to remain in the same position otherwise you will remove material and create and uneven surface.

6. CHANGE THE BASES (See Fig. C, D)

1) Remove the 5 Phillips head screws holding the triangular base.
2) Replace triangular base by fastening the detail sanding attachment to base position. 3) Fix it by 5 screws.
4) Similar process is conducted when detail sanding attachment is changed to triangular base.

7. ATTACH SANDING SHEETS AND PADS (See Fig. E)

This sander features an easy hook and loop accessory fastening system for quick changing without clamps.

1) Unplug the sander.
2) Carefully center the sanding sheet (A) or pad over the base (3/4) to be used. Line up the tip of the sanding sheet (B) or pad with the tip of the base (C).
3) Press the sheet or pad firmly in place.
4) To remove sheet or pad, simply pull it off.

WARNING: Failure to unplug the sander could result in accidental starting causing possible serious personal injury.

8. SANDING WITH EITHER BASE (See Fig. F)

Always hold the sander as shown in Fig F. Move the sander in long, sweeping strokes across the sanding surface. Light pressure is needed for sanding, polishing and scrubbing. Let the sander do the work. Always check your work. This sander removes material quickly.

IMPORTANT: Applying excessive pressure will slow the sander and produce unsatisfactory results.

WORK HINTS FOR YOUR PALM SANDER

If your power tool becomes too hot, run no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Always ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent movement. Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding finish.

Start your sander before sanding and turn off only after stopping sanding. For best results sand wood in the direction of the grit.

Do not start sanding without sandpaper fitted. Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away, it will damage the base-plate. The guarantee does not cover base-plate wear and tear.

Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the final surfaces. If necessary, first make a test on scrap material.

Use only good quality sandpaper.

The sanding efficiency is controlled by the sandpaper not the amount of force you apply to the tool. Excessive force will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause motor overload. Replacing the sanding paper regularly will maintain optimum sanding efficiency.

MAINTENANCE

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance.

There are no user serviceable parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage your power tool.

If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste.

Please recycle where facilities exist.

Check with your local authorities or retailer for recycling advice.

PLUG REPLACEMENT (UK & IRELAND ONLY)

BROWN = LIVE

As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the colored markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows. The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with N. The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with L.

WARNING: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the plug. Only fit an approved 13ABS1363/A plug and the correct rated fuse.

NOTE: If a moulded plug is fitted and has to be removed take great care in disposing of the plug and severed cable, it must be destroyed to prevent engaging into a socket.
