1. SAFETY WARNINGS
General power tool safety warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
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.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable 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,
ranges 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 electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, 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 extension cord suitable for outdoor
use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
02

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current
device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a
key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become
complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury
within a fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
03

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if
detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous
situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

WARNING-To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.
Always wear ear protection
Always wear goggles
Always wear a breathing mask
In accordance with essential applicable safety standards of European directives
3.1Machine-related safety instructions
– Harmful/toxic dust can be produced during your work (e.g. lead-containing
paint, some types of wood and metal). Contact with this dust, especially
inhaling it, can represent a hazard for operating personnel or persons in the
vicinity. Comply with the safety regulations that apply in your country. Connect
the electric power tool to a suitable extraction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protective mask.
Always wear protective goggles to protect against sanding hazards.
–Use a residual current protective device when metal grinding,
as well as when the operation of the power tool in a wet environment
cannot be avoided. In the event of an electric shock, the protective switch
protects you against life-threatening current through the body.
– Clean work equipment soaked in oils, for example sanding pad or
polishing felt, with water and allow to dry. Work equipment soaked in oil
may combust spontaneously.
– Attention: Risk of fire! Avoid overheating the grinding material and the
sander. Always empty the dust container before taking a break. Swarf in
the filter bag or filter of the mobile dust extractor may self-ignite in unfavorable
conditions such as flying sparks when grinding metals. Particular danger exists
05

if the sward is mixed with paint, polyurethane residue or other chemical
materials and the grinding material is hot after long periods of work.
– Always use original sanding pads. Foreign pads are not suitable for the
speed of the sander and may break.
– If the power tool is dropped or falls, check for damage to the machine
and sanding pad. Remove the sanding pad for closer inspection. Repair
damaged parts before using again. Broken sanding pads and damaged
machines can cause injuries and machine instability.
3.2 Mixed dust containing metal and sanding damp surfaces
With mixed dust containing metal (such as dust resulting from paint
sanding in the automotive field) and when sanding damp surfaces,
the following measures must be observed for reasons of safety:
– Connect the machine to a suitable dust extractor.
– Regularly blow out the motor housing of the machine to remove dust
deposits.
4. Intended use
The sanders are designed for sanding wood, plastic, composite, paint/varnish,
filler and similar materials as directed. With mixed dust containing metals (such
as dust resulting from paint sanding in the automotive industry) and when
sanding damp surfaces, special safety instructions must be followed. The
sanders are not intended to be suitable for grinding bare metal.
Material containing asbestos cannot be processed.
