Safety/Operation
mains lead or plug presents a serious danger to
life from electric shock.
J Avoid sanding paints containing lead or other
substances hazardous to health.
J Have repairs carried out only by an electrician or
the relevant service centre.
J Do not operate the device if it is damp and do not
use it in a damp environment.
J Do not sand any material containing asbestos.
J Firmly support the workpiece (in a clamp or vice)
unless its own weight is enough to keep it in
place.
J If you use the device outdoors, always connect
it through a residual current device with a maxi-
mum trip current of 30mA.
J Avoid contact with the moving sanding belt.
J Operate the tool only with an attached sanding
sheet.
J If using an extension lead always use one that is
approved for outdoor use.
J Do not abrade moistened materials or damp
surfaces.
J Do not use the tool in rain or in wet conditions.
Q
J Always work with the mains lead leading
away from the rear of the device.
Proper procedure and handling:
J Never use the tool for a purpose for which it was
not intended nor with non-original parts/acces-
sories.
To avoid the danger of injury, burning
and damage to health:
J Always switch on the device before placing it
against the workpiece. After abrading, lift the
device from the workpiece before switching it off.
J When working always hold the device securely
with both hands. Always keep proper footing and
balance.
J Allow the device to come to a complete standstill
and switch it off before you put it down.
J When taking a break from your work, before
carrying out any tasks on the device itself (e.g.
changing the sanding belt) and when you are not
using the device, always pull the mains plug out
of the mains socket.
m Danger of fire from flying sparks!
J Warning! Be aware that persons operating the
tool or in its vicinity may be at risk of being in
contact with or inhaling dusts.
Take all the necessary safety precautions in
relation to dusts. Working with this tool can give
rise to dusts that may be hazardous to health,
inflammable or explosive.
Harmful or poisonous dusts can, for example,
arise from sanding paints containing lead, or
from certain types of hardwoods or metals.
Some dusts are classed as carcinogenic. Wear
a breathing mask and use a suitable dust/chip
vacuum extraction device.
J Always keep the device clean, dry and free of oil
or grease.
J Warning! Keep your working area clean.
Mixtures of materials can be particularly danger-
ous. Light metal dust, for example, may burn or
explode.
J Remain alert at all times! Always watch what you
are doing and proceed with caution.
Do not use the device if you cannot concentrate
or you are feeling unwell.
J When sanding wood and in particular when
working on materials that give rise to dusts that
are hazardous to health, the sander must be
connected to a suitable external dust extraction
device.
L Operation
J
Wear protective glasses, hearing
protection, dust protection masks and
protective gloves.

Warning! Danger of fire! There is the danger of
fire when working with electrical devices that have
a dustbox or can be connected to a vacuum cleaner.
Under certain conditions the wood dust in the dust
extraction bag (or in the vacuum‘s dust bag) may
ignite, e.g. as a result of flying sparks generated
when abrading metals or metal objects left in wood.
This can happen particularly if the wood dust is
mixed with paint residue or other chemicals and the
abraded particles are hot from prolonged abrasion.
Therefore you must empty the dust box and the
vacuum cleaner’s dust bag before taking a break or
stopping work and always avoid overheating of the
abraded particles and the tool.
