Switching on and off
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles, an adequate dust mask, hearing protection and suitable
gloves, when working with this tool.
WARNING: Never switch the sander on when the base is in contact with the workpiece or
any other surface, as this might cause the operator to lose control over the machine, and lead to
serious injury.
1. Connect the Power Cord (4) to the mains power supply
2. Push the On/Off Switch (2) in to the 'I' position, to switch the sander 'on'
3. To switch 'off' the sander, push the On/Off switch in to the 'O' position
WARNING: Always wait until the machine has stopped vibrating completely before putting it
down. Always disconnect from the power supply after use.
Sanding
• 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 disc, and may cause damage to the machine.
• If there are still scratches on your workpiece after sanding, refer to 'Selecting the right grade
of sanding disc'
Accessories
• A range of accessories and consumables, including Hook & Loop Discs 60 – 240 Grit, is
available from your Silverline stockist. Spare parts can be obtained from toolsparesonline.com
