(3) fitted to the tool on purchase and a 125mm base (10)
supplied with the tool as an accessory.

hex screws using the hex
key provided. Take off the

assembly on the tool and
secure it with the 4 hex

Fitting a sanding sheet

WARNING. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and
the plug is removed from the power point before making
any adjustments or maintenance procedures.
1. Before fitting sandpaper, remove any dust or debris
from the base.
2. Match the holes in a suitable
sheet with the holes in the
base.
3. Simply press the sheet to the
base to attach it.
4. To remove the sheet, peel it
away from the base.
Tip. To maximise the life of the
hook and loop base peel the
paper off slowly rather than rapidly removing it to avoid
damage to the hook and loop system.
CAUTION. Take care to regularly clean out the build up of
dust on the base underneath the sandpaper and not to let
the sandpaper wear completely down before replacing it.
Failure to observe these two precautionary measures can lead to damage to the hooks and loops on the platen and
the sandpaper will not attach properly.
WARNING. Never use the sander unless the entire base
is fitted with sandpaper or another type of pad.

Using the sander

1. Grip the main handle (6) in one hand and push down on
the auxiliary handle (1) with the other hand. Take care to
hold the sanding surface parallel to the work.
2. Do not press down heavily. This will slow down the motor
and could damage it.
3. Let the sandpaper do the work.
4. Take care that the whole base is resting on the workpiece
when you switch on the sander. After switching off, keep
the base on the sander until the motor stops.
5. After switching off, do not attempt to change the base
until the sander has come to a complete stop
WARNING. Do not use the sander in wet or damp
conditions.
The manufacturer recommends the use of a residual current
device with a tripping current of 30mA or less.
