Working hints for your sander

• Your sander is useful for working on wood, metal, painted surface. It will smooth surfaces prior to painting, even wherellershavebeenused.

• Yoursanderisbestsuitedtolargeatareassuchasdoorsbutcanalsobeusedonskirtingboards,windows,etc, provided they are accessible.

• Different types of sanding paper will allow the sander to meet various needs. Different grades of sanding paper are available,thehighergradenumber,thenerthegrit.Forroughworkstartwithalowgradeofgrit(i.e.80grade) andchangetoahigher,nergrade(i.e.100or120)fornishing.Ifyouuseanegradeforroughsurfacesitwill soon clog and need changing.

• At all times, let the sander do the work-do not force it or apply excessive pressure to the sanding paper or it could wrinkle or tear. Preferably, use a light circular motion.

• If the surface shows excessive making from the abrasive motion, you may be using a grit which is too coarse or applying too much pressure.

• Instruction manual: 1p After unpacking, check the tool and accessories for damages and do not use the tool in case something is defective.

5. Safety instructions

WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. SAVE ALL THE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool. a) Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

• Donotoperatepowertoolsinexplosiveatmospheres,suchasinthepresenceofammableliquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. b) Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs withearthed(grounded)powertools.Unmodiedplugsandmatchingoutletswillreduceriskofelectric shock.

• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

• If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. c) Personal safety

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use apowertoolwhileyouaretiredorundertheinuenceofdrugs,alcoholormedication.Amomentof inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/orbatterypack,pickinguporcarryingthetool.Carryingpowertoolswithyourngerontheswitch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.21

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection devices can reduce dust related hazards. d) Power tool use and care

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before marking any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in a hazardous situation. e) Service

• Haveyourpowertoolservicedbyaqualiedrepairpersonusingonlyidenticalreplacementparts.This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. f) Safety warning for sander

• Harmful/toxic dusts will arise from sanding e.g. lead painted surfaces, woods and metals. Contact with or inhalation of these dusts can endanger the health of operator and bystanders. Always use eye glasses and dust mask.

• Hearing protection should be worn when using the sander.22

• Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a” live” wire will make exposed metal parts of the tool” live” and shock the operator.

• Always wear safety glasses or eye shields when using the sander. Everyday eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses; they are not safety glasses. Following this rule will reduce the risk of serious personal injury.

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

• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential overheating.

• When an extension cable is required you must ensure it has the correct ampere rating for your power tool and is in a safe electrical condition.

• Ensure your mains supply voltage is same as indicated on the rating plate.

• Our tool is double insulated for additional protection against a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.

• Alwayscheckwalls,oorsandceilingstoavoidhiddenpowercablesandpipes.
