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 (1) (if fitted), by peeling it away from
the Hook and Loop Sanding Base (2)
2. Remove any dust or debris from the Hook and Loop Sanding Base
3. Match the holes in a suitable disc with the holes in the Hook and Loop
Sanding Base
4. Simply press the disc 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). The Dust
Extraction Port is designed to fit a 32mm diameter hose
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 (5).
1. Connect the plug to the power supply
2. Hold the tool securely by the Palm Grip (4) 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 (5) to the 'I' position, to start the machine
5. Toggle the On/Off Switch into the '0' position, to stop the machine
WARNING: Lift the machine off the workpiece before switching off.
WARNING: Always wait until the machine has stopped vibrating completely
before putting it down. Always disconnect from the power supply after use.
Sanding tips
• If the tool is connected to a vacuum dust extraction system, switch the
extraction device on before switching on the sander. Switch the sander
off first, then the vacuum system
• Move the machine in a circular motion over the workpiece surface,
applying an even, moderate pressure until you reach the desired surface
finish
WARNING: Excessive pressure does not lead to a faster removal of
material; it will however lead to premature wear of the sanding sheet, and
may cause damage to the machine. Both sanding performance and quality
depend mainly on the choice of the correct sanding sheets.
• If there are still scratches on your workpiece after sanding, refer to
'Selecting the right grade of sanding sheet'
