The following hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction and design: 5 • Damage to the lungs if an effective dust mask is not worn. • Damage to hearing if effective earmuffs are not worn. • Always remove the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance, including changing the sandpaper. Wear goggles Wear earmuffs Wear a breathing mask Contents of carton The GMC KAT150B SandKat Detail Sander is supplied with the following accessories as standard: • 10 Sandpaper sheets, 4 x 60 Grit, 4 x 120 Grit, 2 x 240 Grit • Dust extraction adaptor Unpacking Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing. If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury. Assembly The GMC KAT150B SandKat Detail Sander is packed, fully assembled, ready for use. You need only to add the appropriate sanding sheet and dust extraction adaptor if necessary. 6 Know your product The sander is designed for sanding wood, metal, plastic and similar materials. It is a finishing sander and should be used only when giving a surface a final sanding. As the base is reasonably small, the sander is suited for accessing tight corners that larger sanders are unable to reach. 1. On/Off switch 2. Palm-grip handle 7 3. Platen 4. Dust extraction port 5. Dust extraction adapter 5 3 1 4 2 Switching on and off 1. With the cordset fitted to a power point, switch the sander on by pressing the on/off switch (1) on the side marked 1. 2. To turn off the sander, push the on/off switch on the side marked O. Fitting sandpaper 1. Disconnect the sander from the power supply. 2. Remove any dust or debris from the hooks and loops of the platen. 3. If you are using sandpaper that has dust extraction holes align the sandpaper holes with the platen and press it firmly in place to ensure a good attachment. CAUTION. Take care to regularly clean out the build up of dust on the platen underneath the sandpaper and not to let the sandpaper wear completely down before replacing it. Failure to observe these two precautionary measures can lead to damage to the hooks and loops on the platen and the sandpaper will not attach properly. If the platen is damaged, it can be replaced at an authorised service centre. NOTE. Hook and loop platens are not a warranty item. Selecting the right grade of sandpaper for the job 1. Different grades of sanding paper can be purchased from your local hardware store. Available grades are: Coarse, Medium and Fine. 2. Use a coarse grit to sand down rough finishes, medium grit to smooth the work and fine grit to finish off. 3. It is best to make a trial run on a scrap piece of material to determine the optimum grades of sandpaper for a particular job. WARNING. Do not use the same sanding sheet for wood and metal. Metal particles become embedded in the sandpaper and will scour a wooden surface. WARNING. Take care to regularly clean out the build up of dust on the platen underneath the sandpaper and not let the sandpaper wear completely down before replacing it. Failure to observe these two precautionary measures can lead to damage to the platen. 8 Sanding 1. The sander can be used for most sanding operations on materials such as wood, plastic, metal and painted surfaces. 2. Wear safety goggles a dust mask and ear muffs. 3. Switch the sander on whilst it is resting on the workpiece. Take care to hold the whole area of the platen on the work. 4. Move the sander over the surface of the work in a circular motion with an even, moderate pressure. 5. For a cleaner working environment you can use the dust extraction adaptor. The dust extraction adaptor (5) has a bayonet fitting, insert it and twist to tighten, then attach it to a dust extraction unit. CAUTION. Where possible, clamp smaller workpieces to the bench. NOTE. If there are still scratches on your work after sanding, try either of the following: 1. Go back to a coarser grit and sand the marks out before recommencing with the original choice or, 2. Try using new sandpaper of the same grit to eliminate the unwanted marks before progressing to a finer grit and finishing the job. Cleaning 1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times. 2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done with a rag. 3. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts. CAUTION. Do not use cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the sander. A mild detergent on a damp cloth is recommended. Water must never come into contact with the sander. Maintenance All the bearings are sealed ball bearings, lubricated for life, and require no maintenance. Regularly check that all the fixing screws are tight. They may vibrate loose over time. Power cord maintenance If the supply cord needs replacing, the task must be carried out by the manufacturer, the manufacturer’s agent, or an authoris...
