f. Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to the material that
is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that is toxic, or otherwise harmful. If
working on a building constructed prior to 1960, there is an increased chance of encountering
lead-based paints
g. The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly hazardous to children,
pregnant women, and people with high blood pressure. DO NOT allow these people near to
the work area, even if wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
h. Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust and waste
i. Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and metal sanding. Sparks
from metal can easily ignite wood dust. ALWAYS clean your machine thoroughly to reduce the
risk of fire
j. Empty the dust bag or container (where applicable) frequently during use, before taking
breaks and after completion of sanding. Dust may be an explosion hazard. DO NOT throw
sanding dust into an open fire. Spontaneous combustion may occur when oil or water particles
come into contact with dust particles. Dispose of waste materials carefully and in accordance with
local laws and regulations.
k. Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use. If there is evidence of
burning (smoke or ash), from the work surface, stop and allow the material to cool. DO
NOT touch work surface or sandpaper until they have had time to cool
l. DO NOT touch the moving sandpaper
m. ALWAYS switch off before you put the sander down
n. DO NOT use for wet sanding. Liquids entering the motor housing can cause severe electric
shocks
o. ALWAYS unplug the sander from the mains power supply before changing or replacing
sandpaper
p. Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe use of this tool, do not use it

Intended Use
Electric sander using punched triangular hook and loop sanding sheets for intricate, light duty detail
sanding tasks on wood, plastic, and painted surfaces.
WARNING: This sander must NOT be used for wet sanding.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise yourself with all its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
Selecting the right grade of sanding sheet
• Sanding sheets are available in a variety of different grades: coarse (60 grit), medium (120 grit)
and fine (240 grit)
• Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work, and fine grit
to finish off
• Always use good quality sanding sheets to maximise the quality of the finished task
• It is advisable to do a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the optimum grades of
sandpaper for a particular job. If there are still marks on your work after sanding, try either going
back to a coarser grade and sanding the marks out before recommencing with the original choice
of grit, or try using a new piece of sandpaper to eliminate the unwanted marks before going on
to a finer grit and finishing the job

Fitting a sanding sheet
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and the plug is removed from the power
point before fitting or removing 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 starting to sand.
WARNING: DO NOT use a sanding sheet on wood that has previously been used on metal. This
may cause scouring on the wooden surface.
• In order for the dust extraction system to function, this Silverline sander must only be used with
punched sanding sheets with holes that match the holes in the Sanding Base:
1. Remove the old sanding sheet (if fitted), by peeling it away from the Hook and Loop Sanding
Base (1)
2. Remove any dust or debris from the Hook and Loop Sanding Base
3. Match the holes in a suitable sanding sheet with the holes in the Hook and Loop Sanding Base
4. Simply press the sanding sheet on to the pad to attach it
Note: To maximise the life of the hook and loop base, peel the sanding sheet off slowly rather than
rapidly removing it to avoid damage to the hook and loop system.
WARNING: Take care to regularly clean out the build-up of dust on the base underneath the
sanding sheet and not to let the disc wear completely down before replacing it. Failure to observe
these two precautionary measures can lead to damage to the hooks and loops on the base, and the
sanding sheet will not attach properly.
Dust extraction
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and disconnected from the power supply
before attaching or removing any accessories.
WARNING: Always connect the sander to a suitable vacuum cleaner or workshop dust extraction
system, especially 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.
• This sander is designed to be connected to a household vacuum cleaner hose or workshop dust
extraction system. This is the preferred and most effective method of dust extraction
• Attach a suitable vacuum hose to the Dust Extraction Port (3)
WARNING: Using the tool without vacuum dust extraction may expose the operator to harmful
dust, and may lead to a build-up of dust on internal components, shortening the tool's service life.
Such damage is not covered by warranty.
Operation
WARNING: Always use adequate protective equipment, including eye protection, respiratory
and hearing protection, when working with this tool.
WARNING: DO NOT touch the moving sanding sheet.
WARNING: NEVER allow the sandpaper to wear down completely before replacing it. Failure to
observe these precautionary measures can lead to damage to the hook and loop surfaces, resulting
in sanding sheets failing to attach properly.
Note: ALWAYS use clamps to secure your workpiece to the workbench wherever possible.
Switching ON & OFF
WARNING: DO NOT switch the tool on or off whilst under load, as this will greatly decrease the
service life of the ON/OFF Switch (4).
1. Connect the plug to the power supply
2. Hold the tool securely by the Main Grip (2) and make sure that you have full control at all times
3. Ensure the tool is not in contact with the workpiece before commencing with switching on
4. Toggle the ON/OFF Switch (4) to the 'I' position, to start the machine
5. Toggle the ON/OFF Switch into the '0' position, to stop the machine
WARNING: Lift the tool off the workpiece before switching OFF.
WARNING: Always wait until the tool has stopped vibrating completely before putting it down.
Always disconnect from the power supply after use.
