The correct setting, however, is a matter of experience.
Generally, harder materials require a higher setting.
Dust extraction (Fig C)
WARNING: Since woodworking with a sander
produces dust, always install a dust bag designed
in compliance with the applicable directives
regarding dust emission.
WARNING: Do not use a dust bag or vacuum
extractor without proper spark protection when
sanding metal.
Your sander has a dust extraction methods: a built-in outlet
(5) which allows either the supplied dust bag (3) or a shop
vacuum system to be connected.
To attach the dust bag
1. While holding the sander, fit the dust bag collar(4) to the
outlet (5) as shown in Figure C.
2. Turn the collar (4) anticlockwise to lock the dust bag (3)
in place.
To empty the dust bag
NOTE: Be sure to wear approved eye protection and
approved dust mask when performing this procedure.
For efficient dust extraction, empty the dust collector when
it is about one third full.
1. While holding the sander, turn the collar (4) clockwise to
unlock the dust bag (3).
2. Remove dust bag from the sander and gently shake or
tap the dust bag to empty.
3. Reattach the dust bag back onto the outlet and lock into
place by turning the dust bag collar clockwise.
USE
WARNING:Let the tool work at its own pace. Do
not overload.
WARNING:
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments
or accessories.
WARNING:
• Make sure all materials to be sanded are well secured.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the workpiece. Excessive
pressure does not improve the sanding effect, but only
results in an increased load on the machine and causes
the abrasive to tear.
• Avoid overloading.
WARNING: Do not sand magnesium!
Always observe the
NOTICE: If you wrap the cord around the tool when you
store it, leave a generous loop of cord such that the cord
guard does not bend.
This helps prevent premature cord failure.
Proper hand position (Fig D)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, ALWAYS use proper hand
position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a
sudden reaction.
Proper hand position requires either one hand on the sander
body (10) or one hand on the main grip (11) as shown.
Switching on and off (Fig A)
Set the sanding speed using the electronic speed control
dial (2).
To switch the tool on, set the on/off switch to position I.
To switch the tool off, set the on/off switch to position O.
Sanding
Start with the coarsest grit size.
As the tool produces small abrasion marks in all directions,
it is not necessary to sand along the grain.
Check your work at short intervals.
Always switch off the tool when work is finished and before
unplugging.
Hints for optimum use
• Do not exert too much pressure on the tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the sanding paper.
• Replace sanding paper when necessary.
• When sanding new layers of paint before applying
another layer, use extra fine grit.
• On very uneven surfaces, or when removing layers of
safety
paint, start with a coarse grit. On other surfaces, start
with a medium grit. In both cases, gradually change to a
fine grit for a smooth finish.
• Consult your retailer for more information on available
accessories.
Residual risks
Additional residual risks may arise when using the tool
which may not be included in the enclosed safety warnings.
These risks can arise from misuse, prolonged use etc.
Even with the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual
risks can not be avoided. These include:
• Injuries caused by touching any rotating/moving parts.
• Injuries caused when changing any parts, blades or
accessories.
• Injuries caused by prolonged use of a tool. When using
any tool for prolonged periods ensure you take regular
breaks.
• Impairment of hearing.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed
