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.

SANDER SAFETY

WARNING! LEAD PAINT
Paint once contained lead as a traditional ingredient. The dust from the removal of such paint is toxic if ingested/inhaled and must, therefore, be avoided. The following actions must be taken before using the sander on a surface that you suspect may contain lead paint.
The user must determine potential hazard relating to age of paint to be removed. (Modern paints do not have lead content).
Keep all persons and pets away from the work area. The following persons are particularly vulnerable to the effects of lead paint dust: Pregnant women, babies and children.
We recommend personal protection by using the following safety items:
- Paint Spray Respirator.
- PE Coated Hooded Coverall.
- Latex Gloves.
Take adequate measures to contain the paint dust, flakes and scrapings.
Continue to wear safety equipment as in (3) above and thoroughly clean all areas when task is complete.
Ensure paint waste is disposed of in sealed bags or containers.
WARNING! RISK OF HAND ARM VIBRATION INJURY
This tool may cause Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome if its use is not managed adequately.
This tool is subject to the vibration testing section of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
This tool is to be operated in accordance with these instructions.
Measured vibration emission value (a): 3.03 m/s²
Uncertainty value (k): 1.5 m/s²
Please note that the application of the tool to a sole specialist task may produce a different average vibration emission. We recommend that a specific evaluation of the vibration emission is conducted prior to commencing with a specialist task.
A health and safety assessment by the user/employer will need to be carried out to determine the suitable duration of use for each tool.
- NB: Stated Vibration Emission values are type-test values and are intended to be typical. Whilst in use, the actual value will vary considerably from and depend on many factors Such factors include; the operator, the task and the inserted tool or consumable.
- NB: ensure that the length of leader hoses is sufficient to allow unrestricted use, as this also helps to reduce vibration. The state of maintenance of the tool itself is also an important factor, a poorly maintained tool will also increase the risk of Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome.

HEALTH SURVEILLANCE
We recommend a programme of health surveillance to detect early symptoms of vibration injury so that management procedures can be modified accordingly.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
We are not aware of any personal protective equipment (PPE) that provides protection against vibration injury that may result from the uncontrolled use of this tool.

SEALEY-CP20VBS-Cordless-Belt-Sander-fig-3

TURNING THE SANDER ON/OFF
Insert the battery pack.
Depress the switch trigger to turn on.
Release the switch trigger to turn off.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
WARNING!: Before connecting the sander to a power supply, always make sure it is not in the locked-on position. Failure to do so could result in accidental starting of the sander resulting in possible serious injury.
The lock-on feature allows you to lock the switch trigger in the ON position, allowing you to operate the sander for extended periods of time.
If you have the lock-on feature engaged during use and the battery pack is removed, disengage the lock-on feature immediately. DO NOT lock the switch trigger if you might need to suddenly stop the sander.
To lock on the sander:
Depress the switch trigger and push in the lock-on button.
Release the switch trigger and lock-on button.
To release the lock, depress and release the switch trigger.
INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK
To install, insert the battery pack, ensuring each side slides and locks into place before beginning to operate the sander.
To remove, depress the latch in the centre of the battery pack and pull upwards.
SELECTING SANDING BELTS
Selecting the correct size and type of sanding belt is an important step in achieving a high-quality sanded finish.
Aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, and other synthetic abrasives are best for power sanding.
In general, when sanding, coarse grit removes the most material and fine grit produces the best finish.
The condition of the surface to be sanded determines which grit will do the best job.
If the surface is rough, start with a coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Then use medium grit to remove scratches left by the coarser grit. Finally, use finer grit for finishing the surface. Always continue sanding with each grit until the surface is uniform.
TO INSTALL/CHANGE SANDING BELTS
WARNING! Remove the battery pack. Keep hands and fingers clear of both rollers and spring mechanism at all times. Failure to do so
could result in fingers getting pinched, causing serious injury.
Position the sander on its side.
Raise the tension release lever, located on the opposite side to the tracking knob.
Align the sanding belt to its correct position.
Lower the tension release lever to secure the sanding belt.
WARNING!: If the sanding belt is not a bidirectional belt, ensure that the arrow inside the belt is pointing in the direction of the rotation (clockwise when looking into the open side of the sander). Installing unidirectional sanding belts backwards can create a hazardous condition.
TO ADJUST SANDING BELT TRACKING
NOTE: Belt life is greatly increased if you regularly adjust the sanding belt tracking. When correctly adjusted, the outer edge of the sanding belt should be even with the outer edge of the base of the sander. When you install a new sanding belt, you may need to adjust the sanding belt tracking several times until the belt becomes conditioned.
Insert the battery pack.
Position the sander upside down.
Depress the switch trigger and release immediately.
If the sanding belt runs inward: Turn the tracking knob slowly counter-clockwise.
If the sanding belt runs outward: Turn the tracking knob slowly clockwise.
NOTE: Turn the tracking knob until you are sure the sanding belt is secure, i.e., it will not come off the sander or contact internal parts.
TO ATTACH THE DUST COLLECTION BAG
Remove the battery pack.
Slide the dust bag retainer over the blower exhaust hole on the sander.
NOTE: For more efficient operation, empty the dust collection bag when it is no more than half full. This action permits the air to flow through the bag better.
TO EMPTY THE DUST COLLECTION BAG
Remove the battery pack. Wear appropriate P.P.E
Remove the dust collection bag from the sander.
Unzip the dust bag and shake out the dust.
Zip up the dust bag and reattach to the sander.
NOTE: Periodically, you should turn the dust bag inside out and thoroughly clean it.
PROPER HAND PLACEMENT (fig.2)
For ease of operation and maintaining proper control, the sander has a front handle and a rear handle. These handles allow twohanded operation, which aids in maintaining control, keeping the sanding area level with the work piece, and keeping hands clear of the sanding belt. When operating the sander, always hold the front handle with your left hand and the rear handle with your right hand.
OPERATING THE SANDER
Secure the work to prevent it from moving under the sander.
Turn the sander on and let the motor reach its maximum speed before placing the sander on the work surface.
Lower the sander to the work surface with a slight forward motion.
Move the sander slowly over the work surface,using the rear handle to control the sander and the front handle to guide the sander.
NOTE: Allowing the sander to remain in one place will result in an uneven surface. Also be aware that the sander is designed to provide the proper weight on the sanding belt. Excessive pressure will result in uneven work, clogged sanding belts, premature sanding belt wear, possible motor burnout, or irregular sanding belt tracking.
