CAUTION: BEFORE USING THE POWER TOOL READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY AND KEEP IT FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

DETAILED SAFETY REGULATIONS

• Before connecting the sander to mains network ensure the supply voltage matches the voltage on the rating plate of the tool.

• Connect the long reach sander only to electrical system equipped with residual current circuit breaker that will cut the power off in less than 30 ms after earth leakage current exceeds 30 mA.

• Use dust extraction system with the sander.

• Before switching the sander on ensure the abrasive paper is well installed on the working pad and it does not have contact with surface to be processed.

• Hold the sander firmly during operation.

• Do not touch moving parts of the sander.

• Wear anti-dust protective mask and protection glasses that adhere to face. Dust arising when sanding plaster surfaces is harmful to health.

• Bystanders should not enter rooms where plaster is sanded. Do not eat or drink in the room.

• Do not operate the sander wet.

• Keep the power cord away from moving parts of the sander at all times.

• If the power cord is damaged during operation, disconnect the power supply immediately. DO NOT TOUCH POWER CORD BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY.

• WARNING. Working pad rotates for some time after the motor is switched off.

• Keep unwound power cord away from cutting parts.

• Do not allow children and persons not familiarized with instruction manual to operate the sander.

• REMEMBER. Operator or user is responsible for any accident or emerging hazards to other persons or surrounding.

• Remove plug from mains socket:
  – whenever you go away from the tool;
  – before checking, cleaning or repairing the tool.

• Only authorised persons should repair the sander.

• Use only spare parts recommended by the manufacturer.

MAINTENANCE AND STORING

• Keep all components in good condition to ensure the sander works safely.
• To keep the operation safe, replace worn out and damaged parts.
• Protect the sander against moisture.
• Keep the tool beyond reach of children.
• Use appropriate type of sanding paper.
  CAUTION! This device is designed to operate indoors.
  The design is assumed to be safe, protection measures and additional safety systems are used, nevertheless there is always a small risk of operational injuries.

CONSTRUCTION AND USE
Long reach sander is a hand power tool driven by a single-phase commutator motor. The sander is designed for dry finishing sanding of walls, ceilings and other finishing coat surfaces. Two tilting axes of the sander head allows to adhere to any surface of a ceiling or wall. Thanks to extension it is possible to operate without a ladder. The sander is equipped with system that allows connecting external dust extraction system, which must be operating when working with the sander. Range of use covers repair and building works, and any work from the range of individual, amateur activities (tinkering).
Use the sander only with dust extraction system connected, e.g. industry or workshop vacuum cleaner designed for sucking gypsum dust.

EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES

PREPARATION FOR OPERATION

INSTALLATION OF SANDING PAPER
The sander is equipped with working pad with hook-and-loop attachment, allowing quick and easy replacement of sanding paper.

• Install sanding paper to working pad (8) so its holes match with holes in the working pad of the sander, then press to ensure efficient dust extraction.
• To remove sanding paper, lift edge of it on one side and pull (fig. A).

Use perforated sanding paper, so the dust can reach dust extraction system through holes in the working pad. With each replacement of sanding paper clean the working pad, remove dust and all dirt with e.g. brush.

EXTENDING THE ARM
Long reach sander can be used with short arm to sand walls and with arm extension, which improves range for sanding e.g. ceilings.

• Loosen locking cap (5) of the extension (2).
• Place extension arm (10) in the arm pipe (2), slide the reducer sleeve (11) into fixing of the clamp cap (5), set desired length and tighten the clamp cap (5) (fig. b).

DUST EXTRACTION
Install suction hose (12) to the arm tip (2) or extension arm (10).

• Loosen the clamp cap (5), slide suction hose end (12) into the hole and secure by tightening the clamp cap (5) (fig. C, D).
• Connect the other end of suction hose to a suction system, e.g. workshop vacuum cleaner (the cleaner must be designed for gypsum dust extraction).

When starting the work, first switch vacuum cleaner, next the sander. When the work is finished proceed inversely – switch off the sander first, then the vacuum cleaner. This procedure allows to avoid unnecessary dustiness in the workplace. Some types of industrial or workshop vacuum cleaners are equipped with power supply socket for power tools and switching the vacuum cleaner on and off is automated, controlled with switching the power tool.

OPERATION / SETTINGS

SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
The mains voltage must match the voltage on the rating plate of the sander.
Switching on – change over the switch button (4) to position I (fig. E).
Switching off – change over the switch button (4) to position O.

ROTATIONAL SPEED CONTROL
Wheel for speed control (3) is located on the sander body. Select the speed depending on your needs (depending on the sanding paper used, hardness of processed material, type of work etc.). Rotating the wheel for rotational speed control (3) increases or reduces speed of working pad (fig. F).

SANDER OPERATION
Processed surfaces must be dry and must not contain foreign objects, e.g. screws, nails, bolts etc. hold the sand firmly with both hands.

• Switch the sander on and wait until working pad reaches its full rotational speed.

• Put whole surface of the working pad to processed surface (articulated connection of working pad and its cover will adjust to the surface automatically) (fig. G).

• Apply moderate pressure and move the sander along processed surface with rotary movements, or crosswise and lengthwise alternately.

• Overpressure will not increase sanding efficiency, but may cause faster wear of sander parts and sanding paper.

• Putting the working pad away from processed surface during operation will allow dust to get out of the
  tool into the room where the work is carried out.

• Efficiency and quality of processed surface depend heavily on type of sanding paper used and applied pressure. It is best to match the type of sanding paper by trials and errors.

• When finishing sanding reduce pressure on the sander, switch off the motor and vacuum cleaner.

• Replace sanding paper when you observe signs of wear.

• Make periodic breaks in operation.

Do not switch the sander on while its working pad is pressed against processed surface.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the tool from power supply network before starting any adjustment, maintenance or repair.

• Always keep the sander clean.
• Do not use water or any other liquid for cleaning.
• Use brush to clean the sander.
• Clean ventilation holes of the sander regularly to prevent motor overheating.
• In case of excessive commutator sparking check technical condition of carbon brushes of the motor.
• Store the sander in a dry place, beyond reach of children.

WORKING PAD REPLACEMENT
Replace immediately worn out or damaged working pad.

• Loosen and unscrew the bolt that fixes the working pad (8) (fig. H).
• Replace the working pad with a new one, fix with the bolt.

REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES
Replace immediately worn out (shorter than 5 mm), burnt or cracked motor carbon brushes. Always replace both carbon brushes at a time.
Entrust replacement of carbon brushes only to a qualified person. Only original parts should be used.
All defects should be repaired by service workshop authorized by the manufacturer.
