Never touch sandpaper during operation, risk of injury.
Make sure the work piece is firmly supported to prevent it from moving.
Never stop the sander by applying force to the base plate.
Use only sandpaper in good condition. Do not use torn or worn sandpaper.
Never use the machine with a damaged cable or touch the damaged cable.
Do not sand materials that may cause health problems or fire or other hazards (such as magnesium, asbestos, lead-based paint, etc.).
Keep your attention on the work and the tool at all times.
Do not allow people to enter the work area without wearing adequate PPE.
Whenever possible, seal off the work area to contain dust for later disposal.
Make sure that the supply is the same as the voltage indicated on the nameplate.
Remove plug from outlet before making any adjustments or servicing.
Always inspect and remove all nails, screws, etc. of the wood before sanding.
Avoid overheating the object being sanded as well as the sander.
Always empty the dust collector before taking breaks.
Under unfavorable conditions such as when sparks are emitted when sanding metals, sanding debris in the dust bag, microfilter or paper bag can self-ignite. Particularly when mixed with remains of varnish, polyurethane or other chemical materials and when sanding residues are hot after long periods of work.
Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surface.

Other risks

Even when the power tool is used as prescribed, it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors:

a. Health defects resulting from vibration emission if the power tool is used for a longer period of time or if it is not managed and maintained properly.
b. Injuries and property damage due to broken fixtures breaking suddenly.

The machine is designed for dry sanding of wood, plastic, metal, putty and coated surfaces. Machines with electronic speed control are also suitable for finer sanding.
Note: Not all accessories illustrated or described need to be included in the standard delivery.
Note 2: Double insulation: The tool is double insulated. This means that all external metal parts are electrically isolated from the mains. This is done by placing isolation barriers between electrical and mechanical components, making it unnecessary to ground the tool.

Set up

Placing the sandpaper

Lay the sandpaper on the base.
Make sure the sandpaper is level with the edges.
The dust collection holes in the base and the sandpaper must be aligned and the sandpaper must be taut on the base.

Dust collector
Your sander is equipped with a dust box. To place it:

Insert the dust collection bag on the back of the sander in the correct position as the picture.

ON/OFF switch operation
Press the ON/OFF switch to start the sander. Release the switch to stop it.
If you want to use the sander continuously, you can press the switch lock button after pressing the on/off switch.
To release the lock button, simply press the on/off switch fully and the button will automatically release.

Variable speed control dial
The maximum speed can be changed by turning the speed selector wheel.

Turn clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to decrease speed.
The speed of the tool varies with the amount of pressure applied to the on/off switch (trigger), ie more pressure for more speed.

Auxiliary Handle Adjustment
The auxiliary handle has several positions of use. You can loosen or tighten the lock knob to find the best position.

Using the sander
The workpiece to be sanded must be secured. If it is small or can move during sanding, it should be clamped in a vise or properly supported. Be sure to hold the sander firmly while it is on and apply it gently to the work, as it can “bump” on first contact. Hold the sander so it is flat on the work and move it slowly, preferably in a smooth, circular motion. Regularly check the condition of the sandpaper and replace it when worn for best results.

Work tips

Your sander is useful for working on wood, metal, and painted surfaces. Will smooth surfaces before painting, even when fillers have been used and allowed to bleed.
Your sander is best suited for large, flat areas such as doors, but can also be used on baseboards, windows, etc., as long as they are accessible.
Different types of sandpaper will allow the sander to meet various needs. Different grades of sandpaper are available, the higher the grade number, the finer the grit. For rough work, start with a low grit grade (ie 60 grade) and move to a higher, finer grade (ie 100 or 120) for finishing. If you use a fine grade for rough surfaces, it will soon clog and need to be replaced.
At all times, let the sander do the work; do not force or apply excessive pressure to the sandpaper or it may wrinkle or tear. Preferably use a light circular motion.
If the surface shows excessive formation due to abrasive motion, you may be using too coarse a grit or applying too much pressure.

Maintenance and cleaning

Maintenance

Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or maintenance. There are no user-serviceable parts in your power tool.
Always store your power tool in a dry place.
Keep the motor ventilation slots clean.
If you see sparks in the ventilation slots, this is normal and will not harm your power tool.
If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord or assembly available from the manufacturer or its service agent.

Cleaning

Keep tool air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean your power tool. Clean with a dry towel.
Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a soft brush or cloth.
If the body of the sander needs to be cleaned, wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used, but nothing like rubbing alcohol, gasoline, or other cleaning agents.
Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
Water must not come into contact with this tool.

Problem solving

If your tool doesn’t work, check to see if the outlet has power and if the tool is plugged in.
If the sander does not abrade the surface, check the sandpaper. If the sandpaper has worn off, replace with new paper and try again. The paper should be kept in a dry place, if it is allowed to get wet the abrasive particles will lose their adhesion to the backing paper and will not wear off.
If the bottom of the sander does not move smoothly, the sandpaper may be loose, damaged, or wrinkled. Replace and try again.
If after checking these recommendations it still does not work, take it to a Total Authorized Service Center.
