• Disconnect from mains supply before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with these power tools or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or biding of the moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damages, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• 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 results in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situation.
• Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
• Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. The accessory may kickback over your hand.
• DO NOT position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
• Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
• DO NOT attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.
• This power tool is intended to function as a sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations, and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious  injury. Operations such as grinding, wire brushing and polishing are not to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
• DO NOT convert this power tool to operate in a way which is not specifically designed and specified by the tool manufacturer. Such a conversion may result in a loss of control and cause serious personal injury.
• Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Large sanding paper extending too far beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
• DO NOT use accessories which are not specifically designed and specified by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
• The dimensions of the accessory mounting must fit the dimensions of the mounting hardware of the power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively, and may cause loss of control.
• DO NOT use a damaged accessory.
• Before each use inspect the accessory such as the backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear.
• If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage, or install an undamaged accessory.
• After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wore may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
• Regularly clean the power tools air vents. The motors fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powered metal may cause electrical hazards.

• SANDING DISK

• Place the sanding disc (item S) in the centre of the sanding pad and press on. The holes in the sanding disc must be in alignment with the extraction holes in the sanding pad. Conduct a test run to check that the sanding disc is well held.

• EXTENSION SHAFT

• To install the extension shaft, loosen the sleeve on the dust extraction outlet (N) of the upper shaft (F). DO NOT remove the sleeve from the outlet. Align the rear handle (O1) with the main handle (E) and insert the sleeve (O3) on the extension shaft (O) into the outlet (N) with a twist motion all the way to the stop. Adjust the length of the extension shaft (O) if necessary and pay attention to the marking “max 1.65m” on the extension shaft. Tighten the sleeve (N) after assembling/adjusting the extension shaft.

• DUST EXTRACTION

• Loosen locking knob for length adjustment N by turning it in the direction of the unlocking symbol on the tool handle. Insert Vacuum hose P into the end of the tool handle. Tighten Locking knob for length adjustment N by turning it in the direction of the locking symbol on the tool handle. Connect the Vacuum hose with the Ø47 mm adapter P4 directly to an industrial vacuum cleaner (remove vacuum cleaner hose first). One may also connect vacuum hose with one of the 3 adapters to an industrial vacuum cleaner without removing the vacuum cleaner hose.Control the airflow by sliding suction power adjustment ring P3 over the opening in tool connector P2. The vacuuming power is at its lowest level when the opening is fully visible

• ON / OFF CONTROL
  Turn on/off the drywall sander by switch G. Adjust the speed by turning the speed wheel M. User can choose different speed for different sanding surface. Constant speed control Keep the machine running at the same speed as selected. DO NOT overload by excessive pressure.

• SANDING OPERATIONS
  Ensure that the sanding disc you are using is suited to the task, Overly coarse grit paper may remove material too quickly to control. While overly fine grit paper may clog too often and not shape down the surface. Take care to avoid sharp projections and nails, etc. This will rip the sandpaper and probably damage the sponge pad as well. Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations when selecting sanding paper. Large sanding paper extending too far beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback. Once the machine and vacuum cleaner are set up and all safety measures and equipment are in place, begin by turning on the vacuum cleaner and then the machine.(If you are using a vacuum cleaner with integrated switching, then simply turn the machine on). Begin sanding and carefully contact the work surface as lightly as possible – just enough to keep the sanding head flat against the surface. The pivot point in the sanding head allows the sanding disc to follow the contours of the work surface. The best technique is to use overlapping sweeps and keep the head in constant motion. Never stop too long in any one place or there will be swirl marks.
