KNOW YOUR POWER TOOL

See Figure 1. Your sander is suitable for sanding with coarse, medium and Âne grit sandpaper. It will produce a Âne, scratch free Ânish when used to sand with the grain on wood surfaces. It has been designed so that Èush corner sanding on three sides of the sander is possible. Your sander has a comfortable palm grip handle that provides maximum one-hand comfort and reduces operator fatigue during continuous sanding operations. Before using this product, familiarize yourself with all operating features and safety requirements. However, do not let familiarity with the tool make you careless. Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sanding, especially sanding over-head.

The machine is not suitable for wet sanding.

Do not use sanding paper larger than needed. Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.

The dust collection box shall be equipped with the tool. It should be emptied frequently. To connect dust collection box, insert the adapter of dust box to the dust-collection opening on the rear end of the sander. SWITCH This tool is equipped with a simple switch control located near the front of the motor housing.

EXCHANGEABLE HOOK AND LOOP BASE PADS

This sander includes 2 base pads which are interchangeable for different applications. Ê triangular detail pad for detail sanding Ê 1/3 sheet pad for sanding large areas The hook and loop design allows for quick change of sanding sheets and different pads. It also enables you to easily clean and reuse them. WARNING Do not throw sanding dust on an open Âre because materials in Âne particle form may be explosive.

CIRCULAR SANDING ACTION

The oscillating action of your sander produces very quick, small circular motion of the sanding pad. The motion is ideal for producing a Âne Ânished grain. WARNING A suitable breathing respirator must be worn while sanding lead paint, some woods and metal to avoid breathing the harmful/toxic dust or air.

DUST COLLECTION BOX

The dust collection box attaches to the sander and keeps dust to a minimum. VARIABLE SPEED SPECIFICATIONS Voltage 230 V - 240 V Power 180 W Orbital minute 6000-12000 min-1 See Figure 4. Your sander has advanced electronic features, designed to assist you in getting the maximum use from your sander. By making proper speed selections, your tool can be adjusted to speciÂc sanding needs. The electronic feature of your tool introduces the Èexibility of adjusting the motor speed to required job conditions. An electronic speed control module senses the load applied to the motor and increases or decreases motor voltage to 50 Hz Pad size Triangular pad 1/3 Sheet pad 168 x 100 mm

English compensate for and maintain desired RPM. Speed can be set according to the sanding purpose or the surface of the workpiece you will be using. Select clockwise to increase speed for rough surfaces or for quick removal of stock and anti-clockwise to decrease speed for the smaller, delicate sanding applications. backing pad clean to provide for best adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with a small brush.

ATTACHING THE DUST COLLECTION BOX

See Figure 3. The dust collection box provides a dust collection system for the sander. Sanding dust is drawn up through the holes of the sanding disc and collected in the dust collection box during sanding.

1. Unplug the sander.

2. Using a slight twisting motion, Ârmly slide the dust

collection box assembly in the blower exhaust on the sander. ASSEMBLY WARNING The tool should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury. WARNING Exercise caution when using this tool. Careless actions, for even a fraction of a second, can result in serious personal injury. SANDPAPER SELECTION Selecting the correct size, grit and type of sand paper is an extremely important step in achieving a high quality sanded Ânish. Aluminum oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding. Natural abrasives, such as Èint and garnet are too soft for economical use in power sanding. In general, coarse grit will remove the most material and Âner grit will produce the best Ânish in all sanding operations. The condition of the surface to be sanded will determine which grit will do the job. 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 and Âner grit used for Ânishing of the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until surface is uniform. APPLICATIONS You may use the sander for the purposes listed below: Ê sanding on wood surfaces Ê removing rust from and sanding steel surfaces Ê polishing and scrubbing porcelain and metal CAUTION Keep the cord away from the sanding pad and position the cord so that it will not be caught on lumber, tools, or other objects during sanding. WARNING WARNING Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields when operating this tool. Failure to do so could result in dust, shavings, or loose particles being thrown into your eyes, resulting in possible serious injury. Do not use sander without sandpaper, doing so will damage the cushion.

ATTACHING HOOK AND LOOP SANDING DISCS

Turn on the sander: Push the on/off switch to the left. See Figure 2.

1. Unplug the sander.

2. Align holes in hook and loop type sanding disc with

holes in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding disc against pad as tightly as possible. NOTE: It is recommended that you keep the sanding disc

Turn off the sander: Push the on/off switch to the right.

OPERATING THE SANDER

1. Secure the workpiece to prevent it from moving under

English For more efÂcient operation, empty the dust collection box when it is no more than half full. Always empty and clean the dust collection box thoroughly upon completion of a sanding operation and before placing the sander in storage. WARNING Unsecured workpieces could be thrown towards the operator, causing injury. WARNING WARNING Keep your head away from the sander and the sanding area. Your hair could be drawn into the sander causing serious injury. Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can self-ignite in your sander dust collection box or elsewhere and cause Âre. To reduce the risk of Âre always empty your dust collection box frequently (10-15 minutes) while sanding and never store or leave a sander without totally emptying its dust collection box. Also follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.

2. Place the sander on the workpiece so that all of the

sanding disc surface is in contact with the workpiece. CAUTION Avoid damaging the motor from overheating; be careful not to let your hand cover the air vents.

3. Turn on the sander and move it slowly over the

workpiece. NOTE: Hold the sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear of the workpiece. Start sander and let the motor build to its maximum speed, then gradually lower the sander onto the workpiece. Move the sander slowly across the workpiece using small circular motions. Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury.

2. Remove the dust collection box from the sander.

3. Shake out the dust.

4. Reattach the dust collection box to the sander.

NOTE: For a more thorough cleaning of the dust collection box, remove dust collection box from frame and shake out dust. Replace dust collection box over frame then install dust collection box assembly on sander. Do not force. The weight of the unit supplies adequate pressure, so let the sanding disc and sander do the work. Applying additional pressure only slows the motor, rapidly wears sanding disc and greatly reduces sander speed. Excessive pressure will overload the motor causing possible damage from motor overheating and can result in inferior work. Any Ânish or resin on wood may soften from the frictional heat.

CHANGING THE BASE PADS

Sheet and triangular pad Do not allow sanding on one spot too long as the sander’s rapid action may remove too much material, making the surface uneven. See Figure 8.

1. For safety reasons, ensure your tool is unplugged.

2. Remove the sanding sheet from the base. Undo the

allen screws on the base, using the hex key provided.

3. Once all 3 screws have been removed, remove the

4. When Âtting the new base, place the base up to the

sander and insert the Ârst screw (do not tighten).

5. Insert the remaining 2 screws, then tighten all 3

screws. Tighten up the allen screws opposite to each other. Place the desired sanding paper on to the base and continue to work. Extended periods of sanding may tend to overheat the motor. If this occurs, turn sander off and wait until sanding disc comes to a complete stop, then remove it from workpiece. Remove your hand from vent area, remove sanding disc, then with your hand removed from vent area, turn sander on and run it free without a load to cool motor.

CORNERS AND CREVICES

For detail sanding such as corners and crevices, use the tip of the sanding pad with small back and forth motions. CAUTION Remove the sanding sheet when not in use to prevent warping. English INSTALLING SANDPAPER Inspect sandpaper before installing. Do not use if broken or defective. MAINTENANCE Hook and loop sandpaper The tool should never be connected to a power supply when you are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, performing maintenance, or when the tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting that could cause serious injury. WARNING See Figure 9 - 10.

1. Unplug the sander.

2. Align holes in hook and loop type sanding disc with

holes in pad, then carefully press fuzzy side of sanding disc against pad as tightly as possible. NOTE: It is recommended that you keep the sanding disc backing pad clean to provide for best adhesion. Clean occasionally by brushing lightly with a small brush. WARNING When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. WARNING Failure to unplug the tool could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. GENERAL Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirt, carbon dust, etc. Non-adhesive sandpaper See Figure 11.

1. Unplug the sander.

2. Release the paper clamp. Remove used sandpaper,

3. Insert the new sandpaper under the paper clamp.

4. Clamp the sandpaper in place.

WARNING Do not at any time let brake Èuids, gasoline, petroleumbased products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. They contain chemicals that can damage, weaken or destroy plastic. ORBITAL MOTION Orbital motion is ideal for fast cutting action when removing old Ânishes, smoothing rough wood, cutting stock down to required dimensions or for Ânishing surfaces to be painted. The sandpaper moves in tiny circles at a very high speed, allowing the sander to move easily. Electric tools used on Âberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the Âberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.. Consequently, we do not recommended that this tool be used for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.

USING THE FINGER PAD

1. Open the Ânger pad cover.

2. Lower the Ânger pad and lock it in place.

3. Close the Ânger pad cover.

LIVE TOOL INDICATOR

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask. This tool features a live tool indicator which illuminates as soon as the tool is connected to the supply. This warns the user that the tool is connected and will operate when the switch is pressed. LUBRICATION All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufÂcient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication is required.

CLEANING THE SCRUBBING PADS

To ensure longer life and optimum performance, periodically clean all sanding residue and foreign materials from the scrubbing pads. This can be done simply by rinsing the pad with warm water until all foreign material has been washed away. After cleaning, gently squeeze the pad to remove excess water and allow pad to dry. Always store pads and sanding sheets Èat in a cool dry location. Please read the instructions carefully before starting the machine. Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.

CLEANING THE SANDING SHEETS

The sanding sheets that came with your sander are made to be re-used. Therefore, it is important that they be cleaned periodically to remove sanding residue and foreign material that can accumulate over time. To clean sanding sheets, rub the sheets with a hard rubber block. You can also use the clean rubber sole of a shoe. WARNING Always remove scrubbing or sanding pad from sander before cleaning. Failure to do so could cause serious personal injury. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION Recycle raw materials instead of disposing of as waste. The machine, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling. SYMBOL Safety Alert
