• This sander is designed for single handed operation. Adopt a stable stance and
make sure that the mains cable is prevented from coming into contact with
the machine or getting caught up on other objects preventing completion of
the sanding pass.
• Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as nails and screws from
the workpiece before commencing sanding.
• Don’t use it for wet sanding, for dry sanding only.
• Where possible, secure smaller workpieces to prevent it from moving under

• Do not force the sander, let the tool do the work at a reasonable speed.
Overloading will occur if too much pressure is applied and the motor slows
resulting in inefficient sanding and possible damage to the sander motor.
• Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged sanding paper.
• Do not touch the moving sanding paper.
