If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. Switching on and off 1. Connect the plug to the power supply. 2. Push the left-hand side “I” of the sealed on/off switch (1) to start the motor. 3. Push the right-hand side “O” of the sealed on/off switch (1) to stop the motor. 4. Hold the tool securely and make sure that you have full control at all times. Using the sander 1. Grip the rear of the handle (2) in one hand and push down on the front of the handle 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. When using the random orbital base (7), 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. When using the detail base (6) and 1/3 sheet base (8), switch the sander on with the base away from the workpiece. Let the motor reach full speed then carefully begin sanding. Remove the sander form the workpiece before switching off. WARNING. Do not use the sander in wet or damp conditions. Changing the base 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. There are three interchangeable bases: • Detail base (6) – ideal for flat sanding and for reaching into corners and along edges. • Random orbital base (7) – designed to rapidly smooth down large flat surfaces where the random action helps prevent the occurrence of swirl marks and other scratches. • 1/3 Sheet base (8) – for general sanding over moderately-sized areas. 1. Remove the four hex fixing screws (4) using the allen key (5) provided. 2. Fit the base required for the sanding operation and replace the four fixing screws (4), with the allen key provided. 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 hooks and loops of 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. 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. Selecting the right grade of sandpaper 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. Different grades of sanding paper can be purchased from your local hardware store. Available grades are: Coarse, Medium and Fine. 2. Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work and fine grit to finish off. 3. It is best to make 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. WARNING. Do not use the same sanding sheet for wood and metal. Metal particles become embedded in the sandpaper and will scour a wooden surface. Dust extraction 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. Attach the dust extraction canister (3) to the sander by pushing and twisting the bayonet fitting in a similar action to inserting a light globe into a lamp. WARNING. For optimum dust extraction, remove and empty the canister when it is no more than half full. Do not use the canister when sanding metal. The hot metal particles could cause residual wood dust or the internal bag itself to catch fire. 2. Remove the silver cap from the end of the canister (3) to access the internal bag when you wish to replace or clean the bag. The bag can be washed. Make sure the bag is completely dry before replacing it. Maintenance 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. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times. 2. Regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has entered the grills ne...
