Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully 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
Operating Instructions
Fitting sanding sheets
WARNING: Before fitting sanding sheets, ensure the sander is disconnected
from the power supply.
• Sanding sheets are a press fit onto the Sanding Pad (4). Ensure that
sanding sheets are secure before using the machine
Note: The lower the grit figure of the sanding sheet used the more abrasive
the coating.
Note: In use monitor the condition of the sanding sheet. If the paper
becomes damaged or parts come off it will expose the base and the base
surface could be damaged.
Dust extraction
• Use correctly punched hook & loop sanding sheets and align the holes
with those in the pad. This will ensure that the dust extraction function
operates correctly. While you can use sanding sheets without the correct
holes, the sander will not be able to collect the dust and the tool will be
less effective
• The detail sander is fitted with a Dust Box (2) which will collect the dust
created during sanding. Empty it regularly during use. To remove and
empty the dust box press in the Dust Box Catch (3) on each side and pull
the dust box away from the tool. Simply push on to re-fit
• The sander can also be connected to a vacuum cleaner or similar dust
extraction system. Remove the dust box to reveal the connector suitable
for connecting to a vacuum cleaner. Normally for a detail sander this isn't
required but may be preferable in some circumstances
Important: Wear a suitable dust mask when operating this tool with a
minimum FFP2 rating. All wood and paint dust is hazardous to health and
may also be toxic, especially man-made composite woods such as MDF.
If you are working with such dust a vacuum connection to the sander is
advised
Switching on & off
• Always hold the sander securely
• Make sure the sanding sheet is securely fitted
• Connect the machine to the mains power supply
• To start the machine, slide the On/Off Switch (5) to the on position
• To stop the machine, slide the On/Off Switch (5) to the off position
Note: Always switch on the sander before making contact with surface
to be sanded, and always remove the sander from the surface before
switching off
Operation Notes
• This sander is not suitable for wet sanding or sanding plaster
• This detail sander has been designed to minimise vibration by using
an orbital motion and soft-grip surface, however if you experience
discomfort due to vibration, stop using this sander immediately
6
• This detail sander is normally used in combination with a standard
sander. Sand as much as possible with a standard sander, then use
the detail sander for other areas. For very small areas the detail sander
cannot reach, sand by hand
Sanding tips
• Always start with a coarse grit paper and work through progressively
finer grit papers until the desired finish is achieved especially for surfaces
that are exposed or will be varnished or lacquered
• Only apply moderate pressure to the sander. Excessive pressure may
damage the workpiece, or overheat the motor, shortening the service
life of your tool
• Sand evenly over the work surface. This tool works in a orbital motion, as
such it is not necessary to work with the grain
• Use this tool with the sanding base 'face down' directly onto the
workpiece. Tilting the sander onto its edge will damage your work
Note: Replacement Sanding sheets are available from your Silverline
Stockist.
Maintenance
WARNING: Always remove the plug from the mains power supply before
carrying out any maintenance/cleaning.
Note: This tool requires no lubrication and there are no user serviceable
parts inside the main body. In the event the tool requires new carbon
brushes these should be fitted by an authorised Silverline service centre.
Cleaning
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal
parts to wear quickly, shortening the machine's service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If
available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation
holes
Disposal
When the tool is no longer functional and non-repairable dispose of
according to your national regulations.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment, with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct
way to dispose of tools
