Intended use

The machine is intended for dry sanding of wood, plastic, metal,
filler and coated surfaces – at high removal rates.

Noise/vibration information

Measured values determined according to EN 50 144.
Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the machine are: sound
pressure level 87 dB (A); sound power level 98 dB (A). Measure-
ment uncertainty K = 3 dB.
! Wear hearing protection!
The typical hand/arm vibration is below 2,2 m/s
! WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 50 144 and may be used to compare one tool with another.
The vibration emission level will vary because of the ways in
which a power tool can be used and may increase above the
level given in this information sheet. This could lead to a signifi-
cant underestimate of exposure when the tool is used regularly
in such a way.
NOTE: To be accurate, an estimation of the level of exposure to
vibration experienced during a given period of work should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off and
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi-
cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.

General power tool safety instructions

WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-
operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and poorly
lit areas can result in accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators and refrigerators. There is an
.

increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec-
tric shock.
d) Do not misuse the cord. Never use the cord for carry-
ing, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an exten-
sion cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suit-
able for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
