3 GENERAL Congratulations on purchasing an Ozito Sander Polisher. We aim to provide quality tools at an affordable price. We hope you will enjoy using this tool for many years. Your Ozito Sander Polisher SPG-160VK has been designed for both sanding and polishing and is intended for DIY use only. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 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. ELECTRICAL SAFETY The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. This tool is double insulated in accordance with EN 50144; 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. 4

4 GENERAL Warning! The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any operation with this tool other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a risk of personal injury. 1. Keep work areas clean. Cluttered areas and benches can cause accidents. 2. Consider work area environment. Do not expose your tool to high humidity or rain. Do not use your tool in damp and wet conditions. Keep the work area well lit. Do not use your tool where there is a risk of causing fire or explosion, e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids and gases. 3. Keep children away. Do not allow children, visitors or animals to come near the work area or to touch the tool or power lead. 4. This appliance is not intended for use by young or infirmed persons without supervision. 5. Children must be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. 6. Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be caught in moving parts. Preferably wear non-slip footwear when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to keep long hair out of the way. 7. Head protection. Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask whenever the operations may produce dust or flying particles. Wear ear protection whenever the sound level seems uncomfortable. 8. Always wear eye protection. 9. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators). Electric safety can be further improved by using a high sensitivity (30 ma / 30 ms) residual current device (RCD) 10. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 11. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the tool when you are tired. 12. Secure work piece. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work piece; it is safer as it frees both hands to operate the tool. 13. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Always check that adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the tool. 14. Extension Leads. Before use inspect the extension leads and replace if damaged. When using the tool outdoors, only use extension leads intended for outdoor use and marked accordingly. 15. Use appropriate tool. The intended use is described in this instruction manual. Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy duty tool. The tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended. Do not force the tool. 5

5 GENERAL (cont.) 16. Check for damaged parts. Before use carefully check the tool and power lead for damage. Check for misalignment and seizure of moving parts, breakage of parts, damage to guards and switches and any other conditions that may affect its operation. Ensure that the tool will operate properly and perform its intended function. Do not use the tool if any parts are damaged or defective. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Have any damaged or defective parts repaired or replaced by an electrician or a power tool repairer. Never attempt any repairs yourself. 17. Unplug the tool. Shut off the power and wait for the tool to come to a complete standstill before leaving it unattended. Unplug the tool when it is not in use, before changing any parts of the tool, accessories or attachments and before servicing. 18. Avoid unintentional starting. Do not carry the tool with a finger on the on/off switch. Be sure the tool is switched off when plugged in. 19. Do not abuse the cord. Never carry the tool by its cord or pull it to disconnect from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. 20. Store idle tools. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry, locked up or high place, out of reach of children. 21. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean and in good condition for better and safer performance. Follow the instructions for maintenance and changing accessories. Keep handles and switches dry, clean and free from oil and grease. 22. For equipment with type Y attachment, if the supply cord is damaged, it shall be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard. 23. Repairs. This tool complies with relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts; otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user. TOOL OPERATION Auxiliary Handles Two auxiliary handles are supplied with your tool; one can be installed in three positions by removing the rubber grommet and screwing the handle into the gear case housing. The other (Loop Handle) can be installed by attaching the handle with the bolts supplied. Either of these handles should be used at all times to maintain complete control of the tool. 6

6 TOOL OPERATION (cont.) Soft Start Switch This tool is equipped with a soft start switch that reduces the torque on start up. Use lower speeds for applying liquid waxes and polishes and higher speeds for removing dried liquid. Use the highest speed for buffing the car to a final lustre. The tool can be locked on for continuous use by squeezing the trigger switch fully and depressing the lock button. Hold the lock button in as you gently release the trigger switch. The tool will continue to run. To turn the tool off from a locked on position, squeeze and release the trigger switch once. Do not unplug the tool with the switch in the locked on position. Make sure the tool is not locked on when plugging in. A locked on tool will start immediately when plugged in. Speed Control Wheel The maximum speed of your tool can be changed by rotating the speed control wheel to the desired setting. For added versatility, the switch may be locked in its full on position and tool speed changed by means of the speed control wheel alone. The electronic speed control not only lets you select the speed to suit the job, but also helps to maintain that speed as you load the tool by pressing down. The speed control wheel can be set for any speed between 1000 and 3000 rpm. Spindle Lock Button TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY. In order to prevent the spindle of the tool from rotating while installing or removing accessories, a spindle lock button has been provided in the gear head of the machine. To lock the spindle, depress and hold the lock button. NEVER DEPRESS THE SPINDLE BUTTON WITH THE TOOL RUNNING OR COASTING. Attaching and Removing Polishing Bonnet. TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY. First screw the Rubber pad onto the tool spindle. Depress the spindle lock to completely tighten the pad, pull woollen bonnet completely over backing pad and pull draw strings tight. Tie bow knot and push knot and all loose string completely under the inside, cloth edge of the polishing bonnet. WARNING: TIED KNOT AND ALL STRINGS MUST BE TUCKED ENTIRELY UNDER THE CLOTH APRON. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY. To remove the pads, turn them by hand in the opposite direction from normal rotation to allow lock button to engage spindle, then unscrew pads in normal direction for right hand thread. 7

7 POLISHING These instructions and suggestions are intended to familiarise new operators in overall general operation of polishing. You will develop your own techniques which will make the job easier and faster as you learn power polishing. You should use utmost care when polishing around or over sharp objects and contours of the car body. It is very important to use the correct pressure while polishing various sections of an automobile body. For example, light pressure should be applied when polishing over sharp edges of body panels, or over edges of the rain gutter along the top. Since everyone does not use the same type of polish, we recommend you clean and polish a test section on a flat area of the car first. From this test section you can judge the strength or cleaning action of your polish. Remember, all polish is not the same. Different brands will react differently on various painted surfaces. Also, you are now using a power polisher with a polish. This is entirely different from any hand application which you may have done before. Wash the car before polishing it. Washing will remove loose dirt, scum, road salt, etc. which could also act as an abrasive and damage paint. Loose dirt, etc. will also clog the polishing pad and you will have to clean it more often. Without turning the tool on, grasp the handles of the tool and pick it up. Keep the tool away from your body and turn the switch on. Make sure you have a firm grip on the handles and operate the tool freely without forced effort or unnecessary pressure. The side handle can be easily changed to either side of the tool for lefthanded or right-handed operation. NOTE: The high speed rubbing action of the polishing bonnet upon the surface of an automobile can build a static charge on the metal portions of this tool. This can result in a sensation of a very short mild electric shock when the metal area of the tool is touched, and will be more noticeable on days when the humidity is low. This is a harmless phenomenon but you are invited to bring the tool to an Ozito Repair Centre where it can be checked to assure that no electrical malfunction is present. SANDING APPLICATION Attaching and Removing Abrasive Discs TURN OFF TOOL AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY. To attach the sanding pad, first screw the sanding pad onto the tool spindle. Hold the spindle from rotating by engaging the spindle lock button to completely tighten the pad. To attach the sanding disc simply press the disc firmly onto the sanding pad. The disc and pad will stick together with the aid of hook and loop fastening system. 8

8 SANDING APPLICATION (cont.) To remove the sanding pad, use a cloth or glove to protect your hand. Turn the pad assembly counter clockwise. Hold the spindle from rotating by engaging the spindle lock button. THIS PRODUCT IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE ON PLASTER. USING THIS PRODUCT ON PLASTER WILL VOID THE WARRANTY. Sanding When using a sanding disc, hold the tool so that an angle of 10º to 15º exists between the disc and the work. If only the outer edge of the sanding disc is used, a rough cut will result. If the sanding disc is pressed flat against the work, the sanding action will be irregular and bumpy, and the tool will be difficult to control. MAINTENANCE Cleaning Blowing dust, polishing bonnet lint, and grit out of the motor housing using compressed air is a necessary regular maintenance procedure. Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create an electrical shock hazard if not frequently cleaned out. Caution: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. Use a clean, dry rag only. Motor Brushes Be sure tool is unplugged before inspecting brushes. Carbon brushes should be regularly inspected for wear. To inspect brushes, unscrew the plastic brush inspection caps (located in the sides of the motor hosing) and the spring and brush assemblies may be withdrawn from the tool. Keep brushes clean and sliding freely in their guides. Carbon brushes have varying symbols stamped into them, and if the brush is worn down to the line closest to the spring, they must be replaced. When the brushes become worn out, the tool will automatically stop to prevent damage to the motor. ACCESSORIES Use only accessories having a maximum operating speed at least as high as the highest NO LOAD RPM marked on the tool s nameplate. 9

9 CARING FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Petrol 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.
