• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful
(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the
operator or bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device when connectable
• Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device when
connectable
• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the materials you want to work with
• Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, close-fitting clothes and hair protection (for long hair)
• Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than
by hand)
• When sanding metal, sparks are generated; do not use dustbox and keep other persons and combustible
material from work area

DURING USE

• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool; direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool
• Do not touch the moving sanding disc
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug
• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect
the plug

AFTER USE

• When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and ensure that all moving parts have come to a
complete standstill WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):
• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of
the plug
• If for any reason the old plug is cut off the cord of this tool, it must be disposed of safely and not left
unattended

OPERATING INSTRUCTION

Before the first use
Remove the finishing sander and all accessories out of the packaging and check all parts for damage in
transit.Keep packaging material out of reach of children. There is risk of suffocation.
Attaching Sanding Paper
Choose the sanding paper according to the material being worked. Use sanding paper with a 40 resp, 60
grain for rough sanding and on uneven surfaces. Use the finder grain of 120 for smoother finish.
1. Press the button (5) inwards in order to lift up the clamping bracket.
2. Attach the sanding paper on the sanding plate and make sure the holes on the sanding paper fit with
openings on the base plate. Only this way the sanding dust can be extracted through suction ducts in the
sanding plate.
3. Firmly press sanding paper down on the sanding plate.

Selecting the Sanding paper
Always use abrasive papers suited to the material you want to sand. Then papers must have correct grain
size.
Depending on grain size there are degrees of coarseness. The coarseness is specified by a number on the
back of papers. The higher the number is, the finer the grain.
It is important to use the right paper for each job. For rough sanding use grain sizes up to 80, for soft wood
as larch, pine or spruce use papers from 60grit to 150grit.For dense hardwood as beech or maple, the grain
sizes with up to 220 can be used.
Assembling/Disassembling/Emptying the Dust Bag
Always use the dust bag when sanding
1. Place the dust bag onto the provided exhaust connection. Push the box up to the end into housing.
2. To remove the dust collection box, just pull the box outwards. Preferably clean the dust collection box
and the exhause connection in the housing after each use. By doing this the dust collection box can be
easily inserted and removed.
3. For emptying the dust collection bag, just tap out or, if available, clean with compressed air.
Switching the Finishing Sander ON and OFF
1. To switch on the machine, depress the ON/OFF trigger(1)
2. For locking the ON/OFF trigger, push the locking button (2) in the handgrip,
while holding the ON/OFF trigger in the "ON" position.
3. To switch off the machine, press the ON/FF trigger again. The locking button
moves back. Now release the ON/OFF trigger.
After switching off and before putting down the machine, allow the motor come to a complete standstill!
Hold the machine firmly with your hand when using and whenever possible, move the machine in a steady
motion parallel to the surface. By doing so, you will avoid grooves or hollows on surface.
Speed Controller
With the speed controller (4) you can adjust the speed according to application. Select the appropriate
speed setting and make sure the sander does not become overloaded and stops running.
Turn the speed controller (4) steplessly to the desired setting to increase or decrease the speed. The
controller can be adjusted from 1-6. The speed rate can be changed during operation as well.
Hint: The required speed rate for cutting resp,sanding a workpiece depends on the material that you are
going to process. For best performance, make some practical tests.
Sanding
Apply only moderate pressure on the machine. Too much pressure will lead to jamming of the mechanism
and will spoil the result. Excessive pressure will overheat the machine. Always select abrasive paper with
coarseness suited the condition of the surface. Use finer papers in the consecutive sanding until the desired
smoothness is reached. If you desire a very smooth finish you may slightly moisten the surface before the
last sanding. This will slightly swell the fibres and allow a smother finish.
CLEANING AND MAINTANCE
CAUTION! Before performing any care or maintenance work, disconnect from the power.
Use a dry brush to clean the dust extraction openings. Clean the housing with a damp cloth only – do
not use solvents! Then dry well. Remove the dust collection bag from the plastic section to empty. Empty
carefully, try not to create dust. Do not breathe in saw dust! Wash out the bag in cold soapy water and
allow drying.
Before each use, check the machine, the cable and accessories to ensure that they are not damaged. Have
any necessary repairs completed by a specialist.
Machines that no longer function properly should be disposed off correctly in accordance with the local
regulations.
