Important
Read these OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
and the attached GENERAL SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS LEAFLET carefully before
using the machine. Make sure you have
understood them before operating the
machine for the first time.
Keep both sets of instructions for any
future queries.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR OPERATING THE SANDER
Before using the machine, carefully read
the GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
LEAFLET included with the machine
documentation.
1. Before plugging in the machine, ensure that the
power supply voltage is the same as that stated on the
machine specifications plate.
2. Danger, keep hands clear of the working area.
Do not grasp the underside of the machine while it
is running.
3. Inspect and remove all nails from the surface to be
sanded before beginning work.
4. Unplug the machine from the electrical outlet before
performing any maintenance operations.
5. Never leave an electrical tool unattended before all
moving parts have completely stopped.
6. Never use the sander where there are liquids or
excessive moisture.
7. If you use abrasive adhesives, it is recommended that
you remove the disc once you have finished work, as it
may be difficult to separate it from the plate after several
days. Do not try to stick a sandpaper disc to the plate
once it has been removed, as the reduced adhesiveness
may cause the disc to separate during use, with danger
of injury to the user. Before attaching a new disc, make
sure that the plate is completely clean.
8. The dust produced during sanding may prove to be
toxic or harmful to health (for example: lead paints,
certain woods and metals).
We recommend that you always have the dust collector
connected.
9. Spare Parts: Only use genuine spare parts.

used for sanding wood surfaces when the appropriate
sandpaper is fitted, giving a high-quality finish.
Its two movements (rotary and orbital) means smoothing
or finishing operations can be done quickly, leaving a
completely smooth, scratch-free surface.
Its specifications make it ideal for delicate sanding with
varnishing jobs.
The sander is fitted with a sanding dust collection system
and a duct collection bag.
6. PREPARING THE MACHINE
Place the sanding disc on plate "A" (Fig. 1) and match
up its holes with those on the plate.
If the plate has an adhesive base, carefully remove the
protective paper on the disc to prevent dirt coming into
contact with the adhesive part and exert pressure on
the disc until it is well attached.
Before starting work, check that the whole surface of
the disc is well stuck to the plate.
Should the discs not have suction holes, these may be
