• 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
• 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
• Do not touch the moving sandpaper
• Always switch off before you put the sander down
• Always unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing
or replacing sandpaper
• 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 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

Selecting the right grade of sanding sheet
• Sanding sheets 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 sheets to maximise the quality of the
finished task
• It is advisable to do a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine
the optimum grades of sandpaper for a particular job. If there are still
marks on your work 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 piece of sandpaper to eliminate the
unwanted marks before going on to a finer grit and finishing the job
Fitting a sanding sheet
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is
removed from the power point before fitting or removing 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 starting to sand.

WARNING: DO NOT use a sanding sheet on wood that has previously
been used on metal. This may cause scouring on the wooden surface.
• In order for the dust extraction system to function, this Silverline sander
must only be used with punched sanding sheets with holes that match
the holes in the Sanding Base:
1. Remove the old sanding sheet (if fitted), by peeling it away from the Hook
and Loop Sanding Base (1)
2. Remove any dust or debris from the Hook and Loop Sanding Base
3. Match the holes in a suitable sanding sheet with the holes in the Hook
and Loop Sanding Base
4. Simply press the sanding sheet on to the pad to attach it
Note: To maximise the life of the hook and loop base, peel the sanding
sheet off slowly rather than rapidly removing it to avoid damage to the hook
and loop system.
WARNING: Take care to regularly clean out the build-up of dust on the
base underneath the sanding sheet and not to let the disc wear completely
down before replacing it. Failure to observe these two precautionary
measures can lead to damage to the hooks and loops on the base, and the
sanding sheet will not attach properly.
Dust extraction
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and
disconnected from the power supply before attaching or removing any
accessories.
WARNING: Always connect the sander to a suitable vacuum cleaner
or workshop dust extraction system, especially 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.
• This sander is designed to be connected to a household vacuum cleaner
hose or workshop dust extraction system. This is the preferred and most
effective method of dust extraction
• Attach a suitable vacuum hose to the Dust Extraction Port (3)
WARNING: Using the tool without vacuum dust extraction may expose
the operator to harmful dust, and may lead to a build-up of dust on internal
components, shortening the tool's service life. Such damage is not covered
by warranty.
Operation
WARNING: Always use adequate protective equipment, including eye
protection, respiratory and hearing protection, when working with this tool.
WARNING: DO NOT touch the moving sanding sheet.
WARNING: NEVER allow the sandpaper to wear down completely
before replacing it. Failure to observe these precautionary measures can
lead to damage to the hook and loop surfaces, resulting in sanding sheets
failing to attach properly.
Note: ALWAYS use clamps to secure your workpiece to the workbench
wherever possible.
Switching on and off
WARNING: DO NOT switch the tool on or off whilst under load, as this will
greatly decrease the service life of the On/Off Switch (4).
1. Connect the plug to the power supply
2. Hold the tool securely by the Main Grip (2) and make sure that you have
full control at all times
3. Ensure the tool is not in contact with the workpiece before commencing
with switching on
4. Toggle the On/Off Switch (4) to the 'I' position, to start the machine
5. Toggle the On/Off Switch into the '0' position, to stop the machine
