  b. Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with suitable personal protective equipment
  c. Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech, oak, mahogany and teak), as the dust produced is toxic and can cause extreme reactions
  d. NEVER use to process any materials containing asbestos. Consult a qualified professional, if you are uncertain whether an object contains asbestos
  e. DO NOT sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium
  f. Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to the material that is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic, or otherwise harmful. If working on a building constructed prior to 1960, there is an increased chance of encountering lead-based paints

g. The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to children, pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. DO NOT allow these people near to the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
h. Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and waste
i. Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and metal sanding. Sparks from metal can easily ignite wood dust. ALWAYS clean your machine thoroughly to reduce the risk of fire
j. Empty the dust bag or container (where applicable) frequently during use, before taking breaks and after completion of sanding. Dust may be an explosion hazard. DO NOT throw sanding dust into an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may occur when oil or water particles come into contact with dust particles. Disposse of waste materials carefully and in accordance with local laws and regulations.
k. Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use. If there is evidence of burning (smoke or ash), from the work surface, stop and allow the material to cool. DO NOT touch work surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool
1. DO NOT touch the moving sandpaper
m. ALWAYS switch off before you put the sander down
n. DO NOT use for wet sanding. Liquids entering the motor housing can cause severe electric shocks
0. ALWAYS unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing or replacing sandpaper
p. Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe use of this tool, do not use it

Unpacking Your Tool

Carefully unpack and inspect your new tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and functions
- Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.

Before Use

WARNING: Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise

before cleaning or carrying out any maintenance.

WARNING: Before fitting sanding sheets, ensure the sander is disconnected from the power supply. Note: DO NOT continue to use worn, torn, or heavily clogged sanding sheets. Ensure foreign objects, such as nails and screws, are removed from the workpiece before commencing sanding.

WARNING: DO NOT use a sanding sheet on wood that has previously been used on metal. This may cause scouring on the wooden surface. DO NOT use this sander for sanding magnesium. Note: Before every use drip 3 droplets of Air Tool Oil (not supplied) into the Air Inlet (6) to increase tool longevity.

Fitting the quick connector

Note: This tool is supplied with two different male air line quick connectors.

• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the air line system you are using, and install as outlined below:
• Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick Connector (7). This will help to maintain an air-tight seal

Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly, and in a clockwise direction, so it does not come off when the thread is screwed into the tool.

1. Remove the protective plug from the Air Inlet (6)
2. Using a spanner (not included) screw the Quick Connector into the Air Inlet located at the base of the handle
3. Connect to air line, pressurise carefully, and carry out a leak check (e.g. by spraying small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of the connectors)
   Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push fit to the tool

Air supply connection

• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with inline oiler and water separator
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see "Specifications")
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly rated for the air pressure to be used

Attaching the backing pad

1. Lock the Oscillating Spindle (1) in position by inserting the Spindle Locking Tool (8) into the Spindle Locking Hole (10)
   Note: Once the Spindle Locking Tool is inserted in the Spindle Locking Hole, the threaded insert within the Oscillating Spindle may need to be turned until it properly locks in position.
2. With the Oscillating Spindle free from movement, screw in the Hook & Loop Backing Pad (9) securely

Selecting the right grade of sanding disc

• Sanding discs are available in a variety of different grades: coarse (60 grit), medium (120 grit) and fine (240 grit)
• Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work, and fine grit to finish off
  Always use good quality sanding discs to maximise the quality of the finished task

It is advisable to carry out a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the optimum grit grade for a particular job. If there are still marks on the workpiece after sanding, try either going back to a coarser grade and sanding the marks out before recommencing with the original choice of grit, or try using a new sanding disc to eliminate the unwanted marks before moving on to a finer grit and finishing the job

Attaching a hook & loop sanding disc

• With the sander disconnected from the air supply, firmly press the hook

& loop sanding disc on to the Hook & Loop Backing Pad (9)
