Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your 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: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching or
changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Fitting sanding sheets
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, or for wet sanding.
Selecting the right grade of sanding sheet
Note: Always use good quality sanding sheets to maximise the quality of the finished task.
Always test the sander on a scrap piece of material to determine whether the sanding sheet is
suitable for the intended task:
• Coarse (60 grit) for use on rough material
• Medium (120 grit) for smoothing off
• Fine (240 grit) for finishing
Note: DO NOT use sanding sheets designed for wet sanding.
Fitting standard sheets with pre-punched holes
1. Reduce the rigidity of the sanding sheet (4) by rubbing its smooth side over the edge of a
table (or similar)
2. Release the Sanding Sheet Clamping Levers (8) at the front and rear of the sander (Fig. I)
3. Place one end of the sanding sheet into a clamp, and close the clamp tightly. This will
secure one end of the sheet (Fig. II)
Note: Ensure the punched holes in the sanding sheet line up with the openings in the base of
the tool. (Fig. III)
4. Stretch the sanding sheet over the Base Plate (7), and into the other paper clamp. Keeping
the paper taught, clamp the paper tightly (Fig. IV)
• The sanding sheet is now attached to the sander, and the sander ready to use

Fitting hook & loop sheets with pre-punched holes
1. Align the holes on the Sanding Sheet with the holes on the Base Plate
2. Press the sheet onto the hook and loop base plate
• The sanding sheet is now attached to the sander, and the sander ready to use.
Fitting sheets without pre-punched holes
Note: If you are using conventional sanding sheets with no punched holes, the dust extraction
system of this sander WILL NOT FUNCTION.
IMPORTANT: Only use the Sanding Punch Plate provided to punch holes in the Sanding Sheets
as sanders vary in the position of the dust extraction holes and using an incorrect plate will
damage the tool.
1. Attach the sheet using one of the methods previously described in this manual
2. On a firm stable surface use the Sanding Sheet Punch Plate (5) to manually punch holes
through the Sanding Sheet by pressing the sander onto the Plate (Fig. V)
3. The holes should be exactly where the dust extraction holes in the base of the sander are
located. Take care not to damage the surface of the base
4. Once the Sanding Sheet is attached the tool can be used with the Dust Collection Pot or a
compatible dust extraction system
Dust extraction
IMPORTANT: It is essential to take proper measures to prevent dust entering the motor and
other internal mechanisms of this tool. Failure to do so may seriously reduce the life and
performance of this sander.
This can be done by either connecting the Dust Collection Pot (6) or a suitable dust extraction
system to the Dust Outlet (10).
Attaching the Dust Collection Pot
• Ensure the Collection Pot is empty and clean before attaching to the sander
• Slide the Dust Collection Pot onto the sanders Dust Outlet ensuring the lugs are aligned,
and twist the pot to lock in position (Fig. VI)
• To empty the Dust Collection Pot remove it from the sander and open using the end tabs
(Fig. VII)
Connecting a dust extraction system
1. Connect the sander to a vacuum cleaner, or dust extraction system, using the Dust Outlet
2. Switch the vacuum cleaner or dust extraction system ON before you begin sanding
• This will significantly reduce the dust in the air around the work area
WARNING: When sanding metal, ensure your dust extraction system is suitable and free of
any remaining wood dust. Hot metal particles and sparks could ignite residual wood dust,
and cause the dust extraction system to catch fire. Always clean tools THOROUGHLY when
switching from sanding wood to sanding metal, and vice versa.
WARNING: Always connect the sander to a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop dust
extraction system if the sanding dust contains harmful substances, such as particles from old
paint, varnish, surface coatings etc. Always dispose of harmful dust according to laws and
regulations.
WARNING: Take special care to guard against harmful and toxic dusts when sanding
lead-based painted surfaces, woods and metals, particularly if you are unsure about the
exact substances involved. All persons entering the work area must wear a mask specially
designed for protection against the toxic dust and fumes involved. Children and pregnant
women MUST NOT enter the work area. DO NOT eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
