General safety rules WARNING. Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
After long working periods external metal parts and accessories could be hot. • Do not force the sander; let the tool do the work at a reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too much pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting in inefficient sanding and possible damage to the sander motor.
Contents of carton The GMC ROS400A Random Orbital Sander is supplied with the following accessories as standard: • 5 x 80 grit hook & loop sanding sheets • Dust bag • Instruction manual Unpacking Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
Ensure any sanding grit residue is completely cleaned from the sander and platen before using as a polisher. If grit is present when polishing it can scratch the work surface. The manufacturer takes no responsibility for scratches resulting from sanding grit residue.
Adjusting the front handle The front handle on this sander can be adjusted to suit the needs of the operator and the job. 1. To adjust the front handle loosen the front handle lock (2) enough so that you can easily move the handle into the desired position.
General Inspection Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time. Power cord maintenance If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an authorised service centre in order to avoid a safety hazard.
