GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
DETAIL SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS • Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the sanding pad may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. Recommendation that the tool always be supplied via a residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
PREPARATION & SETUP WARNING! Failure to unplug your detail sander could result in accidental starting causing possible serious injury. Sanding Sheet Installation Your detail sander is equipped with a hook and loop backing pad (4). This uses hook and loop technology, which firmly grips the sanding sheets when applied with moderate pressure.

PREPARATION & SETUP (cont.) Sandpaper Selection Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an important step in achieving optimum results. Coarse grit will remove the most material. Finer grit will produce a smoother finish. The condition of the workpiece will determine the grit of the sandpaper to be used.

PREPARATION & SETUP (cont.) Precautions to Take When Sanding Paint CAUTION: A dust mask should be worn at all times. Any finish, such as paint or resin, may soften from frictional heat. This will cause the material to rapidly clog the sandpaper, rendering it useless. A heat gun will remove paint more effectively before sanding.
OPERATION CAUTION: Before attempting to use your sander, be sure to familiarise yourself with all its operating features and safety requirements. WARNING! The sander should always be disconnected from the power supply when assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning or when the tool is not in use.
Always replace both brushes at the same time. Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any damage or injuries caused by the repair of the tool by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.
