protection
• Keep the ventilation vents of the sander clean at all times, if possible, prevent
foreign matter from entering the vents.
• After each use, blow air through the sander housing to ensure it is free from
all dust particles which may build up. Build up of dust particles may cause the
sander to overheat and fail.
• If the enclosure of the sander requires cleaning, do not use solvents but a
moist soft cloth only. Never let any liquid get inside the sander; never immerse
any part of the sander into a liquid.
•
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
,
its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Carbon brushes
When the carbon brushes wear out, the sander will spark and/or stop.
Discontinue use as soon as this happens. They should be replaced prior to
recommencing use of the sander. Carbon brushes are a wearing component of
the sander therefore not covered under warranty. Continuing to use the sander
when carbon brushes need to be replaced may cause permanent damage to
the sander. Carbon brushes will wear out after many uses but when the carbon
brushes need to be replaced, take the sander to an
electrician or a power tool repairer for a quick and
low cost replacement. Always replace both carbon
brushes at the same time.
Note: Ozito Industries will not be responsible for any
damage or injuries caused by the repair of the sander
by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the
sander.
Sparking visible through the housing air vents
A small amount of sparking may be visible through the housing vents.
This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
Excessive sparking visible through the housing air vents
and/or the sander failing to operate
May indicate the carbon brushes have worn out and need to be
replaced. Carbon brushes should only be replaced by a qualified
electrician or power tool repairer.
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 a coarse grit and sand until the surface is
uniform. Medium grit may then be used to remove scratches left by the coarser
grit. 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.
TROUBLESHOOTING
2. Place new sanding pad on
the tool and retighten the
three philips head screws
by rotating clockwise.
precautions to Take When Sanding paint
Any finish, such as paint or resin, may soften from frictional heat. This will cause the material
to rapidly clog the sandpaper, rendering it useless. A heat gun will remove paint more
effectively before sanding.
Environmental Safety
• Paint should be removed in a manner which minimises the amount of dust generated.
• Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting.
• Sanding should be done in a manner which reduces the tracking of paint dust outside the
work area.
CAUTION:
Sanding of lead based paint is not recommended due to the dangers of lead
poisoning.
Cleaning and Disposal
• All surfaces of the work area should be vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily for the
duration of the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be changed frequently.
• Plastic drop sheets should be gathered up and disposed of along with any dust chips or
other debris. They should be placed in sealed refuse receptacles and disposed of through
regular garbage pick-up.
• During clean-up, children and pregnant women should be kept away from the immediate
work area.
• All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should be washed thoroughly
before use.
