SETUP & PREPARATION

ASSEMBLY
WARNING! ENSURE THE TOOL IS SWITCHED OFF AND THE BATTERY IS REMOVED BEFORE PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TASKS.
Sandpaper Selection

Selecting the correct grit of sandpaper is an important step in achieving optimum results. Coarse grit will remove the most material. Finer grit will produce a smoother finish.  The condition of the workpiece will determine the grit of the sandpaper to be used. The higher the grit number, the finer the grade of sandpaper.
If the surface is rough, start with coarse grit and sand until the surface is uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser grit. A finer grit is then used to finish the surface. Always continue sanding with each grade of sandpaper until the surface is uniform.

Note: If intermediate sanding is required, choose a grit rating between coarse and fine. The above table is intended as a guide only. To ensure a satisfactory result, a small,  inconspicuous area should first be tested to ensure the grit of sandpaper chosen is suitable for the desired finish.
Attaching Sandpaper

1. Align the sandpaper with the pad starting from the tip and press on.
2. Replace the sandpaper once it is worn.

Installing The Dust Canister

1. Align the hole in the dust canister with the outlet and push in until it clicks into place.
2. To remove, simply pull the dust canister away from the sander.

Using The Dust Extraction Adaptor

1. With the dust canister removed, slide the dust extraction adaptor onto the outlet with the cutout facing down.
2. A dust extractor pipe can then be connected to the adaptor.

Installing The Battery Pack

1. Align the ribs of the battery with the recess below the handle. Slide the battery into the seating until it clicks into place.
2. To remove, hold down the battery release button and then slide the battery out.

OPERATION

CONTROLS

WARNING! DO NOT LEAVE THE TOOL UNATTENDED WHILE THE ON/OFF SWITCH IS IN THE ON POSITION.
Switching The Sander On / Off

1. To start the sander press the on/off switch into the on position “I”.
2. To stop operation, press the on/off switch into the off position “0”.

Emptying The Dust Canister

1. Remove the dust canister from the sander by pulling it away from the body.
   Note: Empty the dust canister when it becomes 1/3 full for optimum dust extraction.

2. Remove the dust canister lid and empty it into a bin.

3. Secure the lid back on and slide the canister onto the sander.

SANDING

WARNING! THIS PRODUCT IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SANDING DRYWALL OR PLASTER DUE TO THE ULTRA-FINE SANDING PARTICLES PRODUCED. DRYWALL SANDERS IN CONJUNCTION WITH DUST EXTRACTION IS RECOMMENDED FOR DRYWALL AND PLASTER SANDING APPLICATIONS.
WARNING! ENSURE THAT THE WORKPIECE IS CLAMPED SECURELY TO A STABLE PLATFORM BEFORE SANDING.

1.  Secure the material to be sanding where possible.
2. With a firm grip on the sander, switch the sander on.
3. Gradually lower the sander onto the workpiece with a slight forward movement.
4. For optimum results, use either of these strokes.

Sanding Tips
Never force the sander. The weight of the sander supplies adequate pressure, allowing the sandpaper to do the work. Applying additional pressure will slow the motor, rapidly wear the sandpaper, and greatly reduce the sander speed. This will slow the removal rate and produce an inferior quality surface.
Note: Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing possible damage to the sander by overheating the motor; or damage to the workpiece.
Be sure to check your workpiece often. The sander is capable of removing material rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
The orbital action of your sander allows you to sand with the grain, or at any angle across it for most sanding jobs. In the final stages, a better finish will be achieved by sanding with the grain.
Do not sand on one spot for too long. The sander’s rapid action may remove too much material, creating an uneven surface.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! BEFORE CLEANING OR CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE, ENSURE THAT THE BATTERIES HAVE BEEN REMOVED.
Cleaning

• Keep the ventilation slots of the tool clean at all times to ensure efficient operation.
• After each use, blow air through the tool housing to ensure it is free from all dust, dirt, etc. Build up of dust or dirt particles may cause the tool to overheat and shorten its life of the tool.
• If the housing of the tool requires cleaning, do not use solvents. Use of cloth only is recommended.
• Never allow any liquid to get inside the tool, never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the following should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury, and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency, before operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The charger has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
This tools charger is double insulated; therefore no earth wire is required.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to avoid a hazard.
The power supply for this product’s charger should be protected by a residual current device (rated at 30mA or less). A residual current device reduces the risk of electric shock.

**** GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless)
power tool.

1. Work area safety
   a. Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
   b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.
   c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety
   a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
   b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
   c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
   d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool.
   Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
   e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. The use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
   f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety
   a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
   b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust masks, non-skid safety shoes, hard hats, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
   c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to a power source and/or battery pack, picking up, or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
   d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
   e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
   f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
   g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. The use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
   h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4. Power tool use and care
   a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
   b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
   c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
   d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
   e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
   f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
   g. 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 result in a hazardous situation.
   h. 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 situations.

5. Battery tool uses and care
   a. Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.
   b. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs. The use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
   c. When the battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws, or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
   d. Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts the eyes, additionally seek medical help.
   Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
   e. Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion, or risk of injury.
   f. Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature above 130°C may cause an explosion.
   g. Follow all charging instructions and do not charge the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at temperatures outside the specified range may damage the battery and increase the risk of fire.

6. Service
   a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
   b. Never service damaged battery packs. Service of battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer or authorized service provider.

DETAIL SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

• Always secure the workpiece by clamping it to a stable platform before sanding.

• Unplug the sander before changing accessories. Accidental start-ups may occur if the sander is plugged in while changing an accessory.

• Disposing of dust. Be extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine particle form may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. Spontaneous combustion, may in time, result from a mixture of oil or water with dust particles.

• Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and when sanding overhead. Sanding particles can be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled easily and may cause health complications.

• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the sanding surface may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

• Use special precautions when sanding chemically pressure-treated timber, paint that may be lead-based, or any other materials that may contain carcinogens. A suitable breathing respirator and protective clothing must be worn by all persons entering the work area.
  Work should be sealed by plastic sheeting and persons not protected should be kept out until the work area is thoroughly cleaned.

• Do not ‘wet sand’ with this sander. Liquids entering the motor housing are an electrical shock hazard.

• Do not use sandpaper intended for larger sanding pads. Larger sandpaper will extend beyond the sanding pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper, or kick-back. Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.

• Ensure regular breaks are taken if the task entails a long duration of time.

• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
  Some examples of these chemicals are:
  – Lead from lead-based paints;
  – Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products, and;
  – Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
