f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be
caught in moving parts
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards
Power Tool Use & Care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was
designed
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
Sanding Tool Safety
• Before connecting the tool to a power source, ensure that the voltage supply matches
that specified on the rating plate of the tool
• Always wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask with a minimum
FFP2 rating, safety goggles and ear defenders.
• Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with suitable
personal protective equipment
• Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech, oak, mahogany and teak),
as the dust produced is toxic and can cause extreme reactions
• Do not sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage of magnesium
• Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to the material that
is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic, or otherwise harmful.
If working on a building constructed prior to 1960, there is an increased chance of
encountering lead-based paints
• The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to
children, pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. Do not allow
these people near to the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective
equipment
• Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and metal sanding. Sparks
from metal can easily ignite wood dust. Always clean your machine thoroughly to
reduce the risk of fire
• Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use, if there is evidence of
burning (smoke or ash) from the work surface, stop and allow the material to cool. Do
not touch the work surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool
• Do not touch the moving sanding paper
• Always switch off before placing the sander down
• Always unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing or replacing
sandpaper
• Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe use of this tool, do not use it

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 Canister (5)
Connecting the dust extraction system
Note: This sander is supplied with a Dust Extraction Canister (5). To fit the canister:
1. Line up the Dust Extraction Canister (5) with the bayonet inside the Dust Extraction
Port (3)
2. Push the canister into the sander and slightly rotate clockwise until it locks into place
3. Turn the canister anti-clockwise and pull off the dust extraction port to remove
Notes:
• The neck of the dust canister features a rubber o-ring that provides a dust proof seal
between the machine and the canister. Always check that this o-ring is in place and
undamaged when attaching the canister to the device
• Ensure the sanding sheets used are hole-punched for use with sanders featuring dust
extraction. Ensure the holes in the sanding sheet line up with the holes in the sanding
base of the tool. If using a sanding sheet with no dust extraction holes, refer to section
‘Changing the sanding sheet (conventional non-hook-and-loop sanding sheets)’ of
this manual
• On a regular basis. Ideally, empty the dust bag when it is half full
WARNING: Remove and DO NOT use the Dust Extraction Canister (5) when sanding metal.
Hot metal particles and sparks could ignite residual wood dust, or cause the bag to catch
fire. Always clean the tool THOROUGHLY when switching from sanding wood to sanding
metal, and vice versa.
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.
