- 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

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
