Use And Care Manual

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any adjustment, servicing or
maintenance.
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user serviceable
parts in your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Wipe
clean with a dry cloth. Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor ventilation
slots clean. Keep all working controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through
the ventilation slots. This is normal. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
1. If your sander will not operate, check the power at the mains plug.
2. If the sander does not abrade surface, checking the sand paper. If the sand paper has been
worn, replace the new paper and try again. The paper must be kept in a dry place, if it is allowed
to become damp, the abrasive particles will lose their adhesion to the backing paper and will
not abrade.
3. If the sander does not move smoothly, the sand paper may be loose, damaged or wrinkled.
Replace and try again.
4. If a fault can not be rectied return the sander to an authorized dealer for repair.
If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used at low speed, set the speed to maxi-
mum and run it with no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged usage at very low
speeds. Always use sand paper that is suitable for the material you want to sand.
Always ensure the work-piece is rmly held or clamped to prevent movement.
Any movement of the material may affect the quality of the sanding nish.
Start your sander before sanding and turn it off only after you stop sanding. For the best results,
sand wood in the direction of the grain.
Do not start sanding without having the sandpaper tted.
Do not allow the sandpaper to wear away it will damage the base-plate. The guarantee also cover
base-plate wear and tear.
Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit for smooth surfaces and ne grit for the
nal surfaces. If necessary, rst make a test run on scrap material.
Use only good quality sandpaper.
The sandpaper controls the sanding efciency, not the amount of force you apply to the tool.
Excessive force will reduce the sanding efciency and cause motor overload. Replacing the sand-
paper regularly will maintain optimum sanding efciency.
