ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS for DISC SANDERS ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔ ✘ ✘ ✘ ALWAYS place the sander on a solid wood workbench which will not move under load. ALWAYS wear safety goggles as protection against flying grit and/or sawdust. In many cases, a full face shield is even better protection. A dust mask is also recommended to keep saw dust out of your lungs. ALWAYS clear the work table of all objects except the workpiece (tools, scraps, rulers etc.) before switching on the sander.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Connect the mains lead to a standard, 230 Volt (50Hz) electrical supply through an approved 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitably fused isolator switch.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION Remove the sander from the packing and ensure it is complete and has not suffered any damage in transit. Should any damage be apparent, contact your Clarke dealer immediately. Your Sander is fully assembled, except for the sanding disc and the Mitre Gauge. 1. Install the machine on a solid base, one that will not move easily. Adjust the rubber feet if necessary so that the machine is horizontal and perfectly stable.
Fig.2 Fig.1 For greater accuracy, the mitre gauge is used so that the work may be held at a required angle and moved across the disc as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Use a slight pressure ONLY... let the disc do the work. Pressure should be on the DOWNWARDS direction of motion of the disc ONLY. i.e. on the left half of the disc as shown in Figs.1 and 2. NOTE: Replacement sanding discs (packets of 5) in three different grit sizes are available from your Clarke dealer. (See Accessories below).
