▪ Be sure that there are no cracks or breakage on the pad before use. Cracks or breakage
may cause a personal injury.
7 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before attempting to use your sander be sure to familiarize yourself with all its operating
features and safety requirements.
Warning! The sander should always be disconnected from the power
supply when assembling parts, marking adjustments, cleaning or when the
tool is not in use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent accidental starting
that could cause serious injury.
Do not sand plaster surfaces, (WARNING: In this case your guarantee
becomes void) this may clog the motor (brushes, ball bearings, ..).
7.1 Sanding
▪ Hold the sander in front and away from you, keeping it clear of the work piece.
▪ Start the sander
▪ Let the motor build up to speed then gradually lower it on to the work with a slight forward
movement .
▪ Move the sander slowly over the work piece using forward and back or side to side
strokes.
▪ Upon completion of the sanding operation remove the sander from the work piece before
turning if off.
7.2 Switching On-off
Connect the plug to the power supply.
▪ Switch the power tool on: push the ON/OFF switch button (1) forwards onto the “I”
position.
▪ Switch the power tool off: pull the ON/OFF switch button backwards to the “O” position.
WARNING: Never use the machine for sanding magnesium work piece.
7.3 Backing Pad accessory Installation
The sanding plate is equipped with a hook and loop rubber backing pad. This uses hook and
loop backed accessories, which firmly grip the backing pad when applied with moderate
pressure.
To change, merely peel off the old accessory, remove dust from the backing pad if necessary
and press the new accessory in place. Be sure to align the sanding sheet holes with the holes
in the backing pad as best you can to allow the dust extraction system to function effectively.
After considerable use the backing pad surface will become worn, and must be replaced when
it no longer offers a firm grip. If the backing pad facing is wearing prematurely, decrease the
amount of pressure applied during the operation of the tool. Damage to the pad is not covered
the warranty.
7.4 Using the dust collection box (4)
▪ The dust extraction system extracts sanding dust from the work piece through the holes in
the backing pad. The dust is then transferred through the dust extraction port (5) on the
rear of the sander housing.
