Polishing tips
• Ensure that the area to be polished is clean and dry
• Choose only polishing compounds that are compatible with the material to be polished,
and with the method of application. Read and understand all information supplied with
your polishing compound before use
• If using polishing sponges, apply polishing compound evenly to the polishing sponge
and place the sponge against the work surface
• Hold the machine securely, using both hands, by the handles provided. The polishing
sponge should make only light contact with the work surface
• Switch on the machine, and work across the surface using a wide 'sweeping' motion.
Stop and apply extra compound as required
• When the entire surface has been covered, stop the machine and allow the compound
to dry (follow manufacturer's guidance)
• Attach a clean polishing bonnet to the machine and work across the surface as before,
until all visible polishing compound is removed
Sanding tips
WARNING: This machine is primarily designed as a polishing tool. It is suitable for light
duty sanding tasks, e.g. fine sanding as a preparation to polishing, but it has not been
designed to remove large amounts of material. Use a different type of sander, e.g. a belt
sander, should this be required.
WARNING: NEVER use this machine for wet sanding.
WARNING: ALWAYS use adequate respiratory protection when sanding.
• Allow the machine to reach the required speed before bringing the sanding paper into
contact with the workpiece
• Start with a coarse grit paper, and work through progressively finer grit papers until the
desired finish is achieved
• Apply only moderate pressure to the sander. Pressing too hard onto the work surface
may overheat the motor or damage the work surface
• Sand evenly over the work surface. The machine works in a rotary motion so it is not
necessary to work with the grain
• Only use the sander 'flat on' to the work. Tilting the sander onto its edge will damage
your workpiece
Accessories
• A range of accessories for your sander polisher, including polishing sponges and
lambswool bonnets, sanding sheets and polishing compounds, is available from your
Silverline stockist. Spare parts can be obtained from www.toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
Cleaning
WARNING: ALWAYS wear protective equipment including eye protection and gloves when
cleaning this tool.
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly,
and shorten the device's service life
• Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
• Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. If dry cleaning is not sufficient, a mild
detergent on a damp cloth is recommended
• Water must never come into contact with the tool
• Ensure the tool is thoroughly dry before using it
• If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes (where
applicable)
Note: Be especially careful to clean the machine thoroughly if used for both wood and
metal. Sparks from metal work can easily ignite wood dust.

Brushes
• Over time the carbon brushes inside the motor may become worn
• Excessively worn brushes may cause loss of power, intermittent failure, or visible
sparking
• To replace the brushes, remove the Brush Access Panels (7) from both sides of the
machine. Remove the worn brushes and replaced with new. Replace brush access
plugs. Alternatively, have the machine serviced at an authorised Silverline service centre
Hook and loop surfaces
• Hook and loop surfaces need to be clean, free of dirt and foreign matter, such as hair,
fibres, sand etc.
• In order to provide adequate adhesion for securing accessories, hook and loop surfaces
must be in good condition
• When used extensively, hooks and loops will become elongated or broken, and the
mechanism cannot provide the required strength of adhesion anymore
Note: This sander's Hook & Loop Backing Pad (8) is NOT a warranty item. Replacements
can be obtained from www.toolsparesonline.com.
Storage
• Store this tool and its accessories in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children

equipment (WEEE), with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way to dispose
of power tools and batteries
