Adjusting tool speed
• This Silverline sander features variable speed control that enables it to be
used with a variety of different materials, workpieces and objects
1. Adjust the Speed Control Dial (7) on to a higher number, to increase
the tool speed
2. Adjust the Speed Control Dial on to a lower number, to decrease the
tool speed
• If in doubt about the correct speed setting, suitable for the task at hand,
start with a low speed, examine the results, and adjust to a higher setting
if necessary
Sanding tips
• If the tool is connected to a vacuum dust extraction system, switch the
extraction device on before switching on the sander. Switch the sander
off first, then the vacuum system
• Move the machine in a circular motion over the workpiece surface,
applying an even, moderate pressure until you reach the desired surface
finish
WARNING: Excessive pressure does not lead to a faster removal of
material; it will however lead to premature wear of the sanding sheet, and
may cause damage to the machine. Both sanding performance and quality
depend mainly on the choice of the correct sanding discs.
• If there are still scratches on your workpiece after sanding, refer to
‘Selecting the right grade of sanding sheet’
Accessories
• A full range of sanding discs and accessories is available from your
Silverline stockist
Maintenance
General inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate
loose over time
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear.
Repairs should be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre.
This advice also applies to extension cords used with this tool
Cleaning
WARNING: ALWAYS wear protective equipment including eye protection and
gloves when cleaning this tool.
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to
wear quickly, and shorten the device’s service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. If dry cleaning is not
sufficient, a mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended
• Water must never come into contact with the tool
• Ensure the tool is thoroughly dry before using it
• If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation
holes (where applicable)
Storage
• Store this tool carefully in a secure, dry place out of the reach of children
Hook and loop surfaces
• Hook and loop surfaces need to be clean, free of dirt and foreign matter,
such as hair, fibres, sand etc.
• In order to provide adequate adhesion for securing accessories, hook and
loop surfaces must be in good condition
• When used extensively, hooks and loops will become elongated or
broken, and the mechanism cannot provide the required strength of
adhesion anymore
Note: This sander’s hook and loop sanding base is NOT a warranty item.
Replacement plates can be fitted at an authorised Silverline service centre.

Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of power tools that
are no longer functional and are not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), with household waste
