Random orbit sander

Adjust the sanding speed by means of the wheel at the front of the tool – Slow Speed (1) to
High Speed (6).
The required sanding rate will depend on the material you are working on.
After longer periods of use at slower speeds, allow the machine to cool down by running it for
approximately 3 minutes at maximum speed with no load.
Wait until the Sander has come to a complete stop before placing it down on a bench or other
surface.
Sanding Surfaces:
Turn the Sander on, place it with the full pad area on the surface to be sanded, and move it
with moderate pressure over the surface.
The amount of material removed is determined by the grade of the sand paper chosen,
sanding rate and the pressure applied. For best results, and to extend the life of the Sander,
always use brand new sand paper.
Applying increased pressure to the Sander does not lead to an increase in the sanding rate,
but instead increases the wear on the sand paper.
Only use the original accessories included in this Sander.
Rough Sanding:
Attach coarse grade sand paper. Apply only light pressure to the Sander so that it runs at a
higher sanding rate, achieving a high rate of removal.
Fine Sanding:
Attach fine grade sand paper. Vary the amount of pressure applied to the Sander to achieve
the best results.
MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING:
Before any work commences on the Sander, ensure that it is unplugged from the power
outlet.
For optimum use, regularly check to see if any dust or foreign matter has entered the
ventilations slots near the motor and around the on/off switch. Use a soft brush if required.
Wear safety glasses to protect your eyes whilst cleaning.
If the body of the tool needs cleaning, wipe it with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be
used, but not alcohol-based, petrol, or other cleaning agents.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced with the correct part by an
authorised service agent to avoid a safety hazard.
CAUTION Water must never come into contact with this tool.
