4. SANDING
1.Secure the material to be sanded.
2.Firmly grasp the sander. Turn it on and let the motor build up to
maximum speed. Gradually lower it onto the workpiece using a
forward movement.
5. TIPS
•
Never force the sander. The weight of the sander supplies
adequate pressure, allowing the sandpaper to do the work.
Applying additional pressure will slow the motor, rapidly wear
the sandpaper, and greatly reduce the sander speed. This will
slow the removal rate and produce an inferior quality surface.
CAUTION: Excessive pressure will overload the motor, causing
possible damage to the sander by overheating the motor; or
damage to the workpiece.
•
Check your workpiece often. The sander is capable of
removing material rapidly, especially with coarse paper.
•
The orbital action of your sander allows you to sand with the
grain, or at any angle across it for most sanding jobs. In the
final stages a better finish will be achieved by sanding with
the grain.
•
Do not sand on one spot for too long. The sader’s rapid
action may remove too much material, creating an uneven
surface.
3.For optimum results, use backward and forward strokes.
Note: Keep the entire sanding pad in contact with the workpiece at
all times during sanding.

MAINTENANCE
TROUBLESHOOTING
• 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.
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.
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.

CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Power tools that are no longer usable should not be disposed of
with household waste but in an environmentally friendly way. Please
recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local council authority
for recycling advice.
Recycling packaging reduces the need for landfill and raw materials.
Reuse of recycled material decreases pollution in the environment.
Please recycle packaging where facilities exist. Check with your
local council authority for recycling advice.
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.

a small, inconspicuous area should first be tested to ensure the grit of sandpaper
chosen is suitable for the desired finish.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! When using mains-powered tools, basic safety precautions, including the
following, should always be followed to reduce risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury
and material damage.
Read the whole manual carefully and make sure you know how to switch the tool off in an emergency, before
operating the tool.
Save these instructions and other documents supplied with this tool for future reference.
The electric motor has been designed for 230V and 240V only. Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Note: The supply of 230V and 240V on Ozito tools are interchangeable for Australia and New Zealand.
This tool is double insulated in accordance with AS/NZS 60745-1;
therefore no earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer in order to avoid
a hazard.
Note: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The
insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure
within the tool.
Using an Extension Lead
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect the
extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing. Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead not
suitable for the power input of the tool or which is damaged or defective may result in a risk of fire and electric
shock.
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS - PERSONAL SAFETY
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a
cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
f.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do
not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
f.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool
will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b. 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.
ORBITAL SANDER SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING!
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the sanding pad
may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
WARNING!
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Recommendation that the tool always be supplied via a residual current device
with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints;
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products, and;
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated timber.
Unplug the sander before changing accessories. Accidental start-ups may occur if
the sander is plugged in while changing an accessory.
Disposing of dust. Be extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine particle
form may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. Spontaneous
combustion, may in time, result from a mixture of oil or water with dust particles.
Always wear eye protection and a dust mask for dusty applications and when
sanding overhead. Sanding particles can be absorbed by your eyes and inhaled
easily and may cause health complications.
Use special precautions when sanding chemically pressure treated timber,
paint that may be lead based, or any other materials that may contain
carcinogens. A suitable breathing respirator and protective clothing must be worn
by all persons entering the work area. Work should be sealed by plastic sheeting and
persons not protected should be kept out until work area is thoroughly cleaned.
Do not ‘wet sand’ with this sander. Liquids entering the motor housing are an
electrical shock hazard.
Do not use sandpaper intended for larger sanding pads. Larger sandpaper will
extend beyond the sanding pad causing snagging, tearing of the paper or kick-back.
Extra paper extending beyond the sanding pad can also cause serious lacerations.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and
work with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
