Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
1. ChAnGInG ThE SAnDInG PAPER (See
Fig. A)
To remove the sanding paper, lift up the clamp lever (5) and
move away from the clamp lever lock (6). The sanding paper
clamp (8) is now loose. Repeat with the other clamp on the
opposite side of your sander.
To fit new sanding paper, Lift up the clamp lever out of
clamp lever lock to loosen the paper clamp (8), then insert
approximately 5mm of one end of the sanding paper under
the sanding paper clamp (8) until the paper contacts the
housing wall. Lift up the clamp lever (5) and move it to the
lever lock position. Press the sanding paper around the base
plate shape as tight as possible and fix the end under the
other sanding paper clamp (8).
Check the sanding paper is square to the base plate. If
not correct, remove and refit it again. Always, ensure the
sanding paper is tight over the base plate and secured
underneath both locked clamps(8). This will ensure safe and
efficient sanding performance.
2. PAPER PUnCh (not Supplied) (See Fig. B)
If using sanding paper without dust holes, use the paper
punch (10) to perforate the holes to ensure correct dust
extraction. Position the punch over the base plate (4) with
the punch sides on the edges of the base-plate.
Press the punch into the base plate to punch holes into the
sanding paper. Then remove the punch and check all the
holes have been formed correctly.
3. USInG ThE DUST BAG (See Fig. C,D)
A) ATTACh ThE DUST BAG (See Fig. C)
Your sander is equipped with a dust collection bag. To
attach, slide the dust bag onto the dust extraction outlet
piece and take care that the dust bag locks in the grooves
of the outlet.
CAUTIOn:
To prevent the possibility of sanding dust or foreign
body being thrown into your face or eyes, never attempt to
use your sander without the dust bag properly installed.
B) EMPTy DUST BAG (See Fig. D)
For more efficient operation, empty dust bag every
5-10mins. This will permit the air to flow through the bag
better. To empty the dust bag, pull off the dust bag out of
the dust extraction outlet directly and shake out dust.
4. ATTAChInG SAnDER TO VACUUM
ADAPTOR (not Supplied) (See Fig. E)
Your sander is equipped with a ø1-1/4” (inner diameter)
vacuum adapter (11), which is designed for collecting dust
task.
If the outer diameter of vacuum hose is ø 1-1/4”, insert the
ø 1-1/4” adapter (11) into the back of dust extraction outlet.
Then connect the hose of a vacuum cleaner into the dust
adapter.
nOTE:
please pull the vacuum adapter and make sure it is
tightened securely on the dust outlet.
If the outer diameter of vacuum hose is ø1-3/8”, insert the
hose directly into the back of dust outlet.
Please turn on the vacuum cleaner, and then turn on the
sander. If you stop sanding, first turn off the sander, then
turn off your vacuum cleaner.
5. OPERATInG ThE SWITCh (See Fig. F)
To start your sander, depress the protective cover over the
switch at the position marked“—”. To stop your sander,
depress the protective cover at the position marked “0”.
6. .FLUSh SAnDInG FACILITy (See Fig. G)
Your sander can sand flush on three sides of the baseplate
which allows easy access to corners and edges of
mouldings.
7. ORBITAL SAnDInG
Your sander operates in small circular rotations which
allows efficient material removal. Operate your sander in
long sweeping movements across your workpiece and even
across the grain. For a finer finish, always use a fine grain
sanding paper and only move the sander in the direction of
the grit and never across the grain. Do not allow your sander
to remain in the same position otherwise you will remove
material and create an uneven surface.

If your power tool becomes too hot, especially when used
at low speed, set the speed to maximum and run it with
no load for 2-3 minutes to cool the motor. Avoid prolonged
usage at very low speeds. Always use sand paper that
is suitable for the material you want to sand. Always
ensure the work-piece is firmly held or clamped to prevent
movement. Any movement of the material may affect
the quality of the sanding finish. Start your sander before
sanding and turn it off only after you stop sanding. For the
best results, sand wood in the direction of the grain. Do not
