Switching on and off

1.Connect the plug to the power supply.

2.Push the on/off switch (1) forward to start the motor.

CAUTION. Make sure the tool is not resting on any surface when it is switched on.

3.Pull the on/off switch (1) back to stop the motor.

4.Hold the tool securely and make sure that you have full control at all times.

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.

TIP. To ensure you maximise the life of the hook and loop base, carefully peel off the papers rather than rip them off quickly as this will break the loops and eventually lessen the effectiveness of the grip.

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.

5.Ordinary (non-Hook & Loop type) sanding sheets can also be used.

6.Release the paper clamp (5) from both sides of the sander.

7.Insert the end of the sandpaper under one clamp and pull the paper tight over the base (4) ensuring the holes align with those in the base and then clamp the other side.

8.The paper should be kept tightly clamped over the base, otherwise there could be excessive wear of the base material.

WARNING. Never use the sander unless the entire base is fitted with sandpaper or another type of pad.

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 socket.

TIP: For optimum dust extraction, remove and empty the canister (3) when it is no more than half full.

2.Remove the 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.
