Unpacking Your Tool

with all its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If
any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before
attempting to use this tool

Before Use

WARNING. Ensure the sander is disconnected from the power supply
before attaching or changing any accessories.
• This sander is supplied fully assembled, apart from the dust extraction
adapter
Connecting the dust extraction system
Note: This sander can be connected to a vacuum cleaner or workshop
dust extraction system. The adapter is designed to fit a 32mm diameter
hose. If a vacuum system is unavailable, a dust bag can be used instead.
1. Insert the Dust Extraction Adapter
(5) into the Dust Extraction Port (3)
2. Twist the mechanism to
tighten (Fig. A)
3. Push the hose of the dust extraction
system on to the adapter, or attach
a suitable dust bag
Notes:
Ensure the sanding sheets used are
hole-punched for use with detail sanders with dust extraction. Ensure the
holes in the sanding sheet line up with the holes in the sanding base of
the tool
If using a dust bag, remove and clean out on a regular basis. Ideally,
empty the dust bag when it is half full.
WARNING: Remove and DO NOT use a dust bag when sanding metal.
Hot metal particles and sparks could ignite residual wood dust, or cause
the bag to catch fire. Connect the sander to a suitable workshop dust
extraction system instead. Always clean the tool THOROUGHLY when
switching from sanding wood to sanding metal, and vice versa.
WARNING: Always connect the sander to a suitable vacuum cleaner
or workshop dust extraction system if the sanding dust contains harmful
substances, such as particles from old paint, varnish, surface coatings
etc. Always dispose of harmful dust according to laws and regulations.
WARNING: Take special care to guard against harmful and toxic
dusts when sanding lead-based painted surfaces, woods and metals,
particularly if you are unsure about the exact substances involved. All
persons entering the work area must wear a mask specially designed
for protection against the toxic dust and fumes involved. Children and
pregnant women MUST NOT enter the work area. DO NOT eat, drink or
smoke in the work area.
