FIRE PRECAUTIONS
When using certain power tools your house or workshop general fire precautions
should be observed. As aPrecaution, it is recommended that an expert is
consulted on obtaining and using a suitable fire extinguisher.
EXTREME CAUTION REQUIRED
Be aware that the paint on old wood could contain high levels of lead .
Extreme care should be taken when sanding painted surfaces. The dust may
contain LEAD which, if touched, ingested or inhaled will cause poisoning and
can be fatal. Any pre-1960’s building may have had paint containing lead on
wood or metal structures and surfaces.
STOP!
If you suspect paint in your house contains lead seek professional help . Once
lead is in the body it is retained until a fatal level is reached . Small
amounts of exposure can cause irreversible brain and nervous system damage.
The young and unborn are particularly at risk.
warning!
Some wood and type products especially MDF (Medium Density Fibreboard) can
produce dust that can be hazardous to your health. We recommend the use of an
approved
face mask with replaceable filters when using this machine in addition to
using the dust extraction facility. Ensure that power tools are disconnected
from the mains supply when not in use, before servicing, lubricating or making
adjustments and when changing accessories such as table inserts and sanding
belts.
This machine has been designed for sanding wood, wood-type products and plastics. It must not be used for sanding metal as the sparks could ignite sawdust and wood shavings. It is not recommended that this machine be used for sanding fiberglass or similar materials as the particles generated can cause under ware on bearings etc. Do not attempt to use for sanding operations as a fatal electric shock could occur. This machine is to be use for dry sanding only.
Ensure that the sanding drum is the correct size for the bobbin being used. Do not start the machine whilst it is in contact whit the workpiece. Check the work piece for any protruding nails, screw heads or anything that could tear or damage the sanding drum.
Replace the sanding drum as soon as it becomes worn or if it is torn, torn sanding drums can cause deep scratches that are difficult to remove. Always start sanding with a coarse-grade sanding drum working through the grades to the finest grade.
Never try to modify the machine or fit accessories other than those
recommended in this manual. Regularly clean the machine and remove any build
up of sawdust inside
and around the machine. A build up of sawdust can be a fire hazard. Never
leave the machine unattended while it is still running.
TIP: An acceptable filler which could be a good colour match can be made by mixing the sanding dust with PVA glue.

ASSEMBLY
THE MACHINE IS HEAVY AND MAY REQUIRE TWO PERSON LIFTING
Remove the Bobbin Sander from the packaging . The machine comes ready assembled apart from the sanding attachments and the rubber feet.
ATTACHING THE RUBBER FEET
Lower the machine onto its side. Remove the feet from the plastic wrapping. Remove the nut and washer from the thread. Locate the four mounting points on the underneath of the machine. Insert the thread into the hole so that the rubber foot points downward (fig 1 ).
Put on the washer followed by the nut. Tighten with a spanner. Repeat operation for the other three feet. Site the machine at a suitable height enabling sanding operation to be carried out comfortably and in a safe manner.
TO INSTALL THE SANDPAPER ONTO THE RUBBER CYLINDER OR BOBBINS
Caution! MAKE SURE THE MACHINE IS ISOLATED FROM THE SUPPLY BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE, CLEANING OR ADJUSTMENTS ARE UNDERTAKEN.
The sander has been supplied with a 50mm, 38mm and 22mm rubber cylinder or bobbins (fitted with sanding drum installed) . If you want to change the grade of sanding paper already attached to the bobbins proceed as below. The bobbin consists of a rubber body with a metal axle passing through the center (fig2). The axle has a key which locates into a keyway in the rubber body. Normally these should need not be disturbed unless the rubber body is damaged. At either end of the body are two large compression washers.
At the top is a nut and washer to secure the cylindrical sandpaper. The low
part of the axle is threaded which locates into the motor drive. Remove the
nut using a suitable
spanner (fig 3), lift away the washer and slide the sanding drum clear of the
bobbin.
If removal was difficult sprinkle a small amount of talcum powder onto the rubber to aid fitting the new sandpaper drum. Various grades of sanding drum are available for different jobs . See your stockist for replacement of sanding drum. Offer the sanding drum to the rubber body (fig4). Slide onto the rubber body so it fits centrally with no edge overhanging.
Replace the washer and nut. With a spanner tighten the nut to expand the rubber body. This will grip the sanding drum. Do not over-tighten as this will distort rubber body.
INSTALLING THE BOBBIN ONTO THE MACHINE
Lower the bobbin down through the top of the machine. Locate the thread on the bobbin spindle into the thread on the motor drive spindle. Hold the motor drive spindle with your hand and tighten the bobbin into the motor drive spindle. Select two open ended spanners (fig 5).
With one spanner hold the motor drive spindle and with the other spanners tighten the bobbin spindle. Do not overtighten.
SELECTING TABLE INSERT
The machine comes with two table inserts. There is one with a round cutout and
one with oval cutout. For normal sanding choose the insert with the round
cutout (fig 6). Notice the cutout on the edge of the table insert. This aligns
the peg in the recess on the table (fig 6). Lower into position making sure
the table insert locates in the recess and is flush with the table.
To remove simply push with your finger from underneath to dislodge the table insert.
CHECKING THE TABLE TOP ALIGNS WITH ZERO DEGREES
The table top has the facility to tilt between 0°and 45°.
Note! Check that the table is set to 0° with respect to the bobbin. Using
a suitable go 0 square placed on the table top, move the square to the bobbin.
It should measure go 0 (fig 7).
If the table is not square an adjustment can be made. Located under the work table is a stop bolt that adjusts the level of the table (fig 8 ). Loosen the lock nut and raise or lower the stop bolt. Take note of when table is at go 0 with the bobbin . Tighten the lock nut. Locate the pointer and scale. Slacken the pointer screw. Align with the 0° position on the scale and re-tighten screw.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TILTING THE TABLE & Note!
Remove the table insert with the round cutout before tilting the table otherwise it will break. The table will tilt 0° – 45°. Once the desired angle has been reached tighten the two locking knobs (fig 8) . Locate the table insert with the oval cutout and place into the table top (fig 9).
STARTING AND STOPPING
The machine is with a no volt switch . In the event of a power failure, the
motor will not start once the power is restored. Located on the front of the
machine is the ON/OFF button incorporating the emergency stop button. Insert
the machine plug into a suitable 13 amp outlet socket. Lift the emergency stop
cover to reveal the ON/OFF buttons (fig 10). Press the green button to start.
Close the emergency stop cover. Do not close by pushing the large red button
as the motor will stop.
EMERGENCY STOP BUTTON
This is the large red button (fig 11 ). Simply hit the button and the machine
will stop. There is no need to lift the cover to access the stop button
underneath. To start the machine see starting and stopping. In the event of
power failure the machine will not restart when the power is restored.
USING THE BOBBIN SANDER
Start the machine and wait the motor has build up to full speed. It can be
seen that the bobbin moves up down traveling 24mm in total.
Caution! NEVER START THE MACHINE WITH WORK IN CONTACT WITH THE BOBBIN.
Looking from the front of the machine the motor turns in a clockwise direction (fig 12).
Feed the work across and with the direction of rotation.
NEVER feed the work into the machine and stand with your body directly
behind it. The machine could force the work into the operator and cause
serious injury.
USING THE BOBBIN SANDER AT ANGLES 0° – 45°
Take out the round insert and store carefully. Put in the oval insert (refer to selecting table insert, page 10) Slacken the table securing knobs either side of the machine. Tilt the table to the desired angle and re-tighten the locking knobs. Feed the work into the machine always with the direction of rotation (fig 13).
Note! Always bear in mind that when the table is tilted to a particular position the angle will only remain constant if the work is run parallel to the bobbin .
DUST EXTRACTION
The machine is fitted with a 50mm diameter dust extraction outlet, and an
adaptor from 50mm to 100mm. This is located at the rear of the machine (fig
14) and should be attached to a suitable extractor/collector.
