ECCENTRIC SANDER

Additional safety tips useful for grinding:
a) The eccentric sander hereinafter referred to as “sander” is not a water resistant power tool and it should be used for dry sanding only. Penetration of water into the electric tool interior may ead to electrocution.
b) Sanding of metals entails emission of sparks. One should make sure that the sparks splattered during sanding present no hazard to anybody and that all inflammable (combustible)  materials are removed from the vicinity. Sparking may also lead to self-ignition of grinding dust. The hazard is even more serious when the dust is mixed with remnants of paints, polyurethane or other chemicals and grinded material is hot after prolonged machining. It is why operators must avoid excessive heating of treated material or the grinder as well as always remove dust during breaks and after completion of grinding jobs.
c) Workplace must be always kept clean and tidy. Mixtures of various materials are particularly hazardous. Dust of light metals may catch fire or explode.
d) Aspiration of sanding dust is harmful to health. Direct physical contact with dusts or their penetration to lungs can cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory system diseases of the operator or persons in the vicinity. Some materials, e.g. paint coatings with lead content, contain potentially toxic chemical substances. In order to reduce the impact of these substances, the workplace must be always well ventilated, and tested and safe protective measures must be used, such as safety dust filter masks with a P2 class absorber designed especially for filtering microscopic particles. Dust extraction should be used, if only ossible.
e) Safety goggles must always be used in order to prevent dust from getting into eyes.
f ) Use of hearing protectors is mandatory (headsets, earplugs). Long-term exposure to intense noise may lead to deafness.
g) Operators must wear protecting gloves and never touch the grinder shoe when the machine is in motion. It presents hazard of hand injuries.
h) While working with the electric tool operators must always hold it with two hands and keep safe position of the entire body. Operation of an electric tool with two hands is always safer.
i) Protect the object machined. It is safer to fix the object machined in a fixing device or a vice than holding it in your hand.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the grinding accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Grinding accessory contacting a ‘live’ wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool ‘live’ and could give the operator an electric shock.
k) After unexpected interruption of power voltage, e.g. after a voltage shutoff or unplugging the power cord, it is mandatory to unlock the On/Off trigger and release it to the Off position. It is the measure that prevents from unintentional activation of the electric tool.
l) Do not use a power tool with its power cord damaged. Do not touch the power cord when damaged; in case of damaging the power cord during operation unplug it from the mains. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
ATTENTION! If a permanently fixed power cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced with a special cable or assembly available at the manufacturer’s or at a specialized repair service point.
DESIGN AND APPLICATION AREA OF THE SANDER:
The sander is intended for dry sanding and buffing of wooden, wood-based, metal and plastic surfaces and for the removal of old paint coatings using sandpaper with a proper grit size (from 40 to 1200) and Velcro buffing pads. CAUTION! Do never use the sander for asbestos and graphite- containing materials. Do not apply for gypsum (joints of cardboard and gypsum panels) or similar materials. Fine dust penetrates into the machine interior and clogs ventilation paths, which leads to overheating of the motor and its eventual burning. Such defects present the reason to make the guarantee rights null and void.
The tool is a device of the second class of electric protection (double insulation) and is driven with a single-phase motor.
The tool is designed only for household (DIY) application. Do never use the tool for applications that need use of professional equipment. The warranty terms are null and void when the tool is used at craftsman workshops, for industrial applications or in
similar fields.
Any other application not in line with the intended use as specified above is forbidden and makes the guarantee rights null and void. The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for consequential impairments.
The sander design is shown in Fig. A. Any unauthorized modifications of the device carried out by the users themselves release the manufacturer from any responsibility for failures or harms to humans or environment. The intended use of the sander includes also its maintenance, storage, transportation and repairs.
The sander can be repaired only by service workshops appointed by the manufacturer. Any tools supplied from the electric power network can be repaired exclusively by authorized electricians.
Specific residual risks cannot be eliminated despite proper use. The following threats may occur resulting from the design and structure of the machine:

• Hearing loss if necessary hearing protection is not used;
• Harmful emissions of wood dust in confined spaces;
•  Risk to health during prolonged use of the power tool. In such circumstances, regular brakes are recommended.

The vibration level value given refers to basic application of the tool. If the tool is used for other applications or with other tools, or if it is not maintained properly, the vibration level may differ from the values given. The above-mentioned causes may lead to higher exposure to vibrations during the whole work time.
One must implement additional safety measures to protect the operators from exposure to vibrations, such as maintenance of the electric tool and work tools, assurance of proper hand temperature, or determination of the sequence of work operations.
The declared total vibrations and declared noise emissions were measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for tool comparison.
The declared total vibrations and noise emissions can be used in preliminary exposure assessment.
Warnings:
The vibrations and noise emissions during the actual use of the power tool may differ from the declared values depending on how the tool is used and on the type of the workpiece in particular. Determine safeguards to protect the operator. They should be based on the estimated exposure under actual operational conditions (taking into account all parts of the operating cycle such as when the tool is switched off or idle except the start time).

PRIOR TO START WORKING:

• Make sure that parameters of the power voltage correspond to the ones of the eccentric sander specified on the rating plate of the device.

• Make sure that the On/Off is in the Off position. switch

• While working with a power cord extension make sure that parameters of the extension cable and cross-sections of its wires are sufficient for parameters of the eccentric sander. It is recommended to use extension cables as short as possible and uncoil them to the full length.
  CAUTION: Sanding operations must be always carried out with use of personal protection equipment for the upper respiratory tract (dust masks).

• Due to health reasons it is also mandatory to use a dust container (7) or a vacuum cleaner of industrial type as a system for dust extraction.
  The suction hose of the vacuum cleaner must be connected directly to the dust ejector nozzle (8) (see Fig. B).

• Extreme caution must be taken while sanding painted surfaces. Some paints or varnishes contain hazardous substances, thus the collected dust must be disposed in the environment-safe manner.

• When sanding operations are carried out on surfaces coated with paints containing lead components it is mandatory to use dust masks capable to adsorb lead vapours. Children or pregnant women are not allowed to stay at such workplaces. No eating or rinking is allowed during such operations.

• The machine must never be applied to grind magnesium-coated surfaces.

INSTALLATION:

WARNING! Disconnect the plug from the electric socket before you start any work on the power tool.
Replacing the sandpaper ( C)see Fig.
Before you install new sandpaper, clean the sanding disk (1) to remove any dirt and dust using e.g. a brush.
The sanding disk surface (1) is made of Velcro fabric for quick and easy sandpaper pad installation with Velcro fasteners.
Put a sandpaper pad (9) on the sanding disk bottom (1) and press firmly on the entire surface.
To provide optimum dust suction, align the holes in the sandpaper with the dust suction holes (10) in the sanding disk.
Installing a dust container (see Fig. B)
Push the dust container (7 ) over the dust ejection nozzle (8 ) as far as it 7 8 goes.
For best results of the integrated dust suction system, empty the dust container every 5-10 minutes of tool operation.
To empty the dust container remove it from the nozzle and tap it gently against a hard surface to separate dust from the walls. Empty the container through the seating opening.
Use a soft brush to clean the container filtering meshes.
Replacing the sanding disk (see Fig. D)
WARNING : A damaged sanding disk (1) should be replaced immediately.
Remove the sandpaper or buffing pad.
Using a PH2 screwdriver remove 4 mounting screws (11) and take the sanding disk (1) off. Install a new sanding disk and tighten it securely with screws.
OPERATION:
Switching on/off

• To turn the grinder on, move the on/off trigger (4) slider forward.
• To turn the grinder off, move the on/off trigger (4) slider back.

Speed selection
The tool is fitted with an electronic control system that makes it possible to select the frequency of rotation depending on the material processed.
The speed adjustment knob (3) can be set within the range from 1 (lowest oscillation frequency, e.g. when sanding surfaces sensitive to high temperatures) to MAX (highest oscillation frequency). The required speed depends on the material and working conditions – it can be adjusted by the trial and error method only.
Sanding
Secure the machined piece on a steady surface or lock it in a vice. Switch the sander on.
Drive the sanding disk of the tool on the machined surface with small, elliptic movements. Do not apply any additional pressure, the own weight of the device is fully sufficient. Strong pressure onto the treated surface is not a measure that increases efficiency of sanding; instead, it leads to premature wear of both the tool and the abrasive paper.
Repeat several subsequent sanding operations using abrasive paper with lower granulation size each time.
NOTE: Only abrasive sheets of sound working condition guarantee satisfying performance of machining and protect the tool from possible failures.
Buffing
To recover the gloss of old and oxidized paintwork or to remove scratches (e.g. from an acrylic glass surface), the tool can be fitted with properly selected Velcro buffing utilities such as: lamb wool bonnet, buffing felt pad or buffing sponge ( the above mentioned items are not provided as standard with the power tool).
Select a low rotational speed (level 1) for buffing to prevent excessive surface heat.
Apply buffing agent as described in the manufacturer’s instructions.
Buff in the way described in the instructions provided with the buffing agent by moving the head along or across the surface or with circular movements.
Clean the buffing pad regularly for good buffing results. Wash the buffing pads using a mild detergent and warm water. Do not use solvents.
