Attaching the Cyclone Dust Box

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 box 

properly installed. 

See Fig. B 

Emptying the Cyclone Dust Box

For more efficient operation, empty 

dusts box every 5-10mins.

OPERATION

On/Off Switch

See Fig. E

Variable speed control

With the variable speed control, the 

required speed can be selected (also 

while running).

The required speed is dependent on 

the material and is to be determined 

by a practical trial.

After longer periods of working at 

low speed, allow the machine to 

cool down by running it for approx. 

3 minutes at maximum speed with 

no load.

Selecting the right grade of 

sandpaper 

NOTE:

 The sandpaper is Different 

grades of sanding sheet . Available 

grades range from coarse to fine. This 

machine can only fit special sanding

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR 

SANDER

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 start sanding without having the sandpaper 

fitted.

Do not allow the sand paper to wear away it will 

damage the base-plate. The guarantee does not cover 

base-plate wear and tear.

Use coarse grit paper to sand rough surfaces, medium grit 

for smooth surfaces and fine grit for the final surfaces. If 

necessary, first make a test run on scrap material.

Use only good quality sand paper.

The sand paper controls the sanding efficiency, not 

the amount of force you apply to the tool. Excessive 

force will reduce the sanding efficiency and cause 

motor overload. Replacing the sand paper regularly will 

maintain optimum sanding efficiency.

An integrated sanding plate brake reduces the speed 

when running at no load so that scoring is avoided when 

placing the machine on the work piece. A continuously 

increasing no-load speed over the course of time 

indicates that the sanding plate brake is worn and must 

be replaced by an authorized customer service location. 

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE 

Remove the plug from the socket before carrying 

out any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

Your power tool requires no additional lubrication or 

maintenance. There are no user serviceable parts in 

your power tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners 

to clean your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. 

Always store your power tool in a dry place. Keep 

the motor ventilation slots clean. Keep all working 

controls free of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks 

through the ventilation slots. This is normal. 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.
