GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all 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.

1) Work area safety

a) Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electricalsafety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) 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.

3) Personalsafety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) 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.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) 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.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) 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.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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 those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

5)Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BENCH SANDER

3.ASEMBLY

Installation

Avoid the use of long extension cables. Do not forget to leave enough space around the machine for the workpieces to be sanded.

Assembly

• Put the machine frame on its head and press the four rubber stops into the foot of the frame.
• Machine frame, aluminium disc (10) and work plate (12) are supplied in separate packaging.
• Push the aluminium disc on the shaft and fasten the disc with the socket bolt in the side of the disc (Fig.B - D).
• Place the work plate (12) with the shaft in the machine frame and secure the work plate with the bolt in the side of the machine frame. Check with a 90° sash angle on the work plate and against the sanding disc if the angle is exactly 90° (Fig.E).
• If necessary, adjust this angle with the calibration indicator.
• The mitre scale (13), which is also supplied separately, can be placed on the work plate (12). With the use of this mitre scale the angle of grinding can be determined precisely.
• The fence (8) for the belt sander can be placed behind the uppermost bolt of the V-belt guard. In this way the workpiece can be held firmly against the belt, without great hazards.

- Attach the vacuum cleaner to the vacuum cleaner connections (15).

To prevent the workpiece or your fingers from getting caught between the work plate (12) and the sanding disc (11), the space between work plate (12) and sanding disc (11) must not exceed 1.6 mm.

The choice of sanding paper

With coarse sanding paper (P60) generally most of the material can be removed, and fine sanding paper (P150) is then used for finishing. An uneven surface is first treated with coarse sanding paper and sanded until it is even. Subsequently medium-coarse sanding paper (P100) is used to remove the scratches caused by the first type of paper used. Fine sanding paper (P150) is used for finishing. The sanding needs to be continued until the surface is smooth.

Placing the sanding paper (Fig. F - H)

When the sanding machine is held with the sanding disc turned towards you, the sanding belt moves from right to left along the upper part of the machine. Because of this turning direction the workpiece will be pressed against the right side of the fence. An arrow on the inside indicates the right direction of running of the sanding belt (see drawing). If no direction is indicated, the sanding belt must be placed in such a way that the elevated part of the seam is placed into the turning direction of the belt. So it is very important that the sanding belt is placed in the correct way. The machine uses standard 100 x 915 mm sanding belts (6):

• Remove the plug from the mains socket.
• Push the clamping handle completely to the right to take away the tension of the transport rollers (5).
• Push the sanding belt along both of the transport rollers, starting from the back of the machine.
• Push the clamping handle completely to the left. Now the sanding belt should be completely tight.
• Turn the transport roller exactly in a right angle to the direction of the sanding belts with the use of the winged nut at the right roller. The direction of running of the belt is adjusted correctly if the sides of the sanding belt are running parallel to the bearing plate.

The sanding disc (Fig. D)

Paper or "velcro" plates are used for the sanding disc. The standard diameter is 150 mm. The plates are self adhesive

Vertical placing of the sanding belt (Fig. 1)

For more flexibility of the sanding belt its bottom side can be used, because there is no bearing plate. For an easy reach of this bottom side the sanding belt can be placed in vertical position.

• Loosen the two nuts at the front of the sanding machine, around the left transport roller shaft, with the use of an open-end spanner.
• Push the sanding belt up in the position desired. Fasten the two nuts again.
• The workpiece can now rest on the worktop instead of on the sanding belt;
• The work plate which is used for the sanding disc can now be pushed with the shaft into the hole of the machine frame, at the left side of the sanding machine.
• Fasten the bolt at the back of the machine.
• The work plate can now be used as support for the sanding of the work piece against the sanding belt.

4. OPERATION

Switching On/Off

• Press the switch into position '1' to put your sanding machine into operation.
• To switch off the machine the same switch needs to be pressed to position '0'. Always keep the mains cable away from moving parts.
• There is no need to apply any pressure with the workpiece, because this only slows down the speed of the sanding disc.

Sanding

The sanding belt and disc supplied with this sanding machine are suitable for the sanding of metal, wood or synthetic surfaces. The workpiece should always be held firmly during sanding. No extra pressure is needed. Guide the work piece up and down over the sanding belt, in order to prevent the sanding belt and plate from wearing through in one place. Round objects can be sanded at the ends of the sanding belt. Work pieces which are longer than the sanding machine can be sanded by removing the fence.

Note: To prevent splintering, wood always needs to be sanded in the longitudinal direction of the grain. To treat a very soft surface, there is a very handy method to 'bring the particles to the surface'. This is done as follows: wet the already sanded surface with a cloth or sponge and let it dry well. Some wood fibres will swell up more than others, which leads to a rougher surface than before. Now the higher particles are treated with fine sanding paper, the result is a remarkably smooth surface. This method should not be applied with varnished wood, however, because the varnish may come loose because of the moisture.

5.MAINTENANCE

Always disconnect the machine from the main power supply before carrying out any maintenance work.

Clean the machine casings regularly with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Make sure that the ventilation openings are free of dust and dirt. Remove very persistent dirt using a soft cloth moistened with soapsuds. Do not use any solvents such as gasoline, alcohol, ammonia, etc. Chemicals such as these will damage the synthetic components.

ENVIRONMENT

ulty and/or discarded electrical or electronic apparatus have to be collected at the appropriate recycling locations.

Only for EC countries

Do not dispose of power tools into domestic waste. According to the European Guideline 2012/19/EU for Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment and its implementation into national right, power tools that are no longer usable must be collected separately and disposed of in an environmentally friendly way.
