! disconnect the plug
- use dust extraction device G only when working with
sanding pad D
- mount dust extraction device G as illustrated
- connect vacuum cleaner
! do not use dust extraction device/vacuum cleaner
when sanding metal
- clean dust extraction device G regularly for optimal
dust pick-up performance
• On/off

• Adjusting working speed !
- with wheel J the required oscillating frequency can be
adjusted from low (1) to high (6) (also while tool is
running)
- the optimal working speed depends on the material
and can be determined with practical trials
• Holding and guiding the tool
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s) @

NOISE/VIBRATION
• Measured in accordance with EN 60745 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 81.0 dB(A) and the sound
power level 92.0 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB), and the
vibration ✱ (triax vector sum; uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)
✱ when sanding 6.4 m/s²
✱ when cutting with plunge-cut saw blade 7.8 m/s²
✱ when cutting with segment saw blade 4.9 m/s²
• The vibration emission level has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it
may be used to compare one tool with another and as a
preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when
using the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with different
or poorly maintained accessories, may significantly
increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may significantly
reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration
by maintaining the tool and its accessories,
keeping your hands warm, and organizing your
work patterns
