Intended Use

Electric detail sander for light to medium duty detail sanding tasks on wood, plastic, painted
surfaces and other surface coatings.
IMPORTANT: Not to be used for wet sanding.
Unpacking Your Product
• Carefully unpack and inspect your product. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features
and functions
• Ensure all parts of the product are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing
or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this product
Before Use
WARNING: Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply before attaching
or changing any accessories, or making any adjustments.
Fitting Sanding Sheets
Note: DO NOT continue to use worn, torn, or heavily clogged Sanding Sheets. Ensure foreign
objects, such as nails and screws, are removed from the workpiece before commencing sanding.
WARNING: DO NOT use a Sanding Sheet on wood that has previously been used on metal.
This may cause scouring on the wooden surface. DO NOT use this sander for sanding magnesium,
or for wet sanding.
Selecting the right grade of Sanding Sheet
Note: Always use good quality Sanding Sheets to maximise the quality of the finished task.
Always test the sander on a scrap piece of material to determine whether the Sanding Sheet
is suitable for the intended task:
• Coarse (60 grit) for use on rough material
• Medium (120 grit) for smoothing off
• Fine (240 grit) for finishing
Note: DO NOT use Sanding Sheets designed for wet sanding.
Fitting Sheets with pre-punched holes
1. After selecting the right grade of compatible Sanding Sheet (8) attach the sheet to the Sanding
Base Plate (4) using the hook and loop attachment method
2. Ensure that the holes on the Base Plate align with that of the Sanding Sheet to allow the dust
extraction system to work (Fig. I)
Fitting Sheets without pre-punched holes
Note: If you are using Sanding Sheets with no punched holes, the dust extraction system of this
sander WILL NOT FUNCTION. Use a suitable tool to manually punch holes through the Sanding
Sheet, exactly where the dust extraction holes in the base of the sander are located. Take care not to
damage the surface of the base.
1. Attach the Sanding Sheet to the sander using the same method as described for Sheets with
pre-punched holes
2. Press a punch plate against the underside of the Sanding Base Plate (4), the raised points will
punch the required holes in the paper
Dust Extraction
IMPORTANT: It is essential to take proper measures to prevent dust entering the motor
and other internal mechanisms of this tool. Failure to do so may seriously reduce the life
and performance of this sander.
This can be done by connecting a suitable dust extraction system.
Connecting a dust extraction system
1. Connect the sander to a vacuum cleaner, or dust extraction system, via the Dust Outlet (3) using
the Dust Extraction Adaptor (7)
2. The Dust Extraction Adaptor (7) can be used to attach different extraction systems
Note: An adaptor may be required to connect certain dust extraction or vacuum systems.
3. Attach the Dust Extraction Adaptor by pushing it onto the Dust Outlet and rotating clockwise
to engage the locking lugs (Fig. II)
4. Switch the vacuum cleaner or dust extraction system on before you begin sanding
• This will significantly reduce the dust in the air around the work area

Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye
protection when working with this tool.
WARNING: This sander is NOT suitable for wet sanding.
WARNING: When sanding metal, ensure your dust extraction system is suitable and free of
any remaining wood dust. Hot metal particles and sparks could ignite residual wood dust, and
cause the dust extraction system to catch fire. Always clean tools THOROUGHLY when switching
from sanding wood to sanding metal, and vice versa.
WARNING: Always connect the sander to a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop dust
extraction system if the sanding dust contains harmful substances, such as particles from old paint,
varnish, surface coatings etc. Always dispose of harmful dust according to laws and regulations.
WARNING: Take special care to guard against harmful and toxic dusts when sanding lead-
based painted surfaces, woods and metals, particularly if you are unsure about the exact substances
involved. All persons entering the work area must wear a mask specially designed for protection
against the toxic dust and fumes involved. Children and pregnant women MUST NOT enter the
work area. DO NOT eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
Switching ON & OFF
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles, an adequate dust mask, hearing protection
and suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
WARNING: NEVER touch the Sanding Sheet when the tool is switched ON
Note: Always use clamps to secure your workpiece to the workbench wherever possible.
• Always grip the sander firmly using the Palm Grip (1)
• Press I on the ON/OFF Switch (6) to switch the sander ON
• Press 0 on the ON/OFF Switch to switch the sander OFF
Sanding Tips
• Do not bring the sander into contact with the workpiece until the motor has gained full speed.
Remove the sander from the workpiece before switching the tool OFF
• Start with a coarse grit paper, and work through progressively to finer grit papers until the
desired finish is achieved
• Only apply moderate pressure to the sander. Pressing too hard onto the work surface may
overheat the motor or damage the workpiece
• Sand evenly over the work surface; as the machine works in an orbital motion it is not
necessary to work with the grain
• Only use the sander 'flat on' to the workpiece. Tilting the sander onto its edge will damage
your workpiece
WARNING: Do not allow the sandpaper to completely wear down before replacing it.
Failure to observe these precautionary measures can lead to damage to the base of the tool.

Maintenance
WARNING: Always disconnect from the power supply before carrying out
any maintenance/cleaning.
General Inspection
• Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time
• Inspect the supply cord of the tool, prior to each use, for damage or wear.
Repairs should be carried out by an authorised Silverline service centre.
This advice also applies to extension cords used with this tool
Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, and
shorten the machine's service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth.
If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes
