Specific safety regulations

GENERAL
1. This tool should not be used by people under the age of 16 years.
2. This tool is not suitable for wet sanding.
3. Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it replaced by a qualified person.
4. Do not work materials containing asbestos (asbestos is considered carcinogenic).
5. Always disconnect plug from power source before making any adjustment or changing any accessory.
ACCESSORIES
1. Flawless functioning of the tool can only be assured when original accessories are used.
2. Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily clogged sanding discs.
BEFORE USE
1.Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with a rating of 230V or 240V can also be con-
nected to a 220V supply).
2. Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and other elements in your workpiece; remove them before you start working.
3. Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps).
4. The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A); wear ear protection.
5. Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful (contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders); wear a dust mask and work with a dust extraction device when connectable.
6. Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic (such as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust
mask and work with a dust extraction device when connectable.
7. Follow the dust-related national requirements for the materials you want to work with.
8. Wear protective gloves, safety glasses, close-fitting clothes and hair protection (for long hair).
9. Secure the workpiece (a workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely than by hand).
10. When sanding metal, sparks are generated; do not use dustbox and keep other persons and combustible material from work area.

DURING USE

1. Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool; direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool.
2. Do not touch the moving sanding disc.
3. In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction, immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug.
4. If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug
AFTER USE
1. When you put away the tool, switch off the motor and ensure that all moving parts have come to a complete standstill.

OPERATION

Before the first use (Fig.3)
Remove the finishing sander and all access ries out of the packaging and check all parts for damage in transit.Keep packaging material out of reach of chil-
dren. There is risk of suffocation. Attaching Sanding Paper Choose the sanding paper according to the material being worked. Use sanding paper with a 40
resp, 60 grain for rough sanding and on uneven surfaces. Use the finder grain of 120 for smoother finish.
1. Attach the sanding paper on the sanding plate and make sure the holes on the sanding paper fit with openings on the base plate. Only this way the sanding
dust can be extracted through suction ducts in the sanding plate.
2. Firmly press sanding paper down on the sanding plate.
Selecting the Sanding paper.
Always use abrasive papers suited to the material you want to sand. Then papers must have correct grain size. Depending on grain size there are degrees
of coarseness. The coarseness is specified by a number on the back of papers. The higher the number is, the finer the grain. It is important to use the right
paper for each job. For rough sanding use grain sizes up to 80, for soft wood as larch, pine or spruce use papers from 60 grit to 150 grit.For dense hardwood
as beech or maple, the grain sizes with up to 220 can be used.
Assembling/Disassembling/Emptying the Dust Bag (Fig.1)
Always use the dust bag when sanding
1. Place the dust bag onto the provided exhaust connection. Push the box up to the end into housing.
2. To remove the dust collection box, just pull the box outwards. Preferably clean the dust collection box and the exhause connection in the housing after
each use. By doing this the dust collection box can be easily inserted and removed.
3. For emptying the dust collection bag, just tap out or, if available, clean with compressed air.
