2.2 Safety rules for electrical machine equipment
Changes in the Electrical System
Do not modify the electrical system in any way. Any attempt in this regard may
jeopardize the operation of electrical devices, causing malfunction or accident.
Work carried out in the electrical system of the machine must, therefore, be carried
out only by qualified and authorized personnel.
If one hears unusual noises, or feels something strange, immediately stop the
machine. Then carry out an inspection and, if necessary, perform any repairs as
required.
1. Ensure supply voltage complies with the label and technical specifications (230 V / 50
Hz). Do not use any other power supply.
2. The use of a life-saving device on the electric power supply for a nominal trip range of
10 to 30 mA is recommended. For more detailed information, contact a trusted
electrician.
3. The mains power outlet should be bipolar grounded (10 / 16 A / 250 V), extension
cables must have sections that are the same or greater than the sections of the power
cable of the machine.
4. The power supply cable (and its possible extension cable) should never come in contact
with hot objects, sharp edges, wet or oiled surfaces.
5. The power cord should be checked regularly and before each use to check for signs of
damage or wear. If these are not in good condition, do not use the machine and replace
the cable.
6. Do not use the power cord to lift the machine or to remove the plug from the socket.
2.3 Technical support
For any problems or concerns, please contact, without hesitation, your dealer's Customer
Service, who has competent and specialized staff, specific equipment and spare parts.
2.4 Other provisions
2.4.1 It is forbidden to tamper with safety devices
The first thing to do when starting work is to check for the presence and integrity of the

5 DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROLS
5.1 On and off switches
The command buttons of the sander are positioned on the machine body, on the side of the
abrasive disc (Figure 4);
The green button (I), is used to start the sander. By pressing this button, the electric motor is
powered and both of the abrasive tools are set in rotation (belt and disc).
Conversely, the red button (0), is used to switch off the sander. By pressing this button, the
electric motor is disconnected from the power supply and both of the abrasive tools stop
rotating (belt and disc).
Figure 4 – Start and stop buttons.
Risk of abrasion
After pressing the stop switch (0), the abrasive tools continue to rotate by inertia for a few
moments.
Do not allow body parts near the belt or the disc while in motion!

6 MACHINE SAFETY DEVICES
6.1 Electrical safety devices
The control device inserted in the electrical circuit of the sander is a magnetic switch with
two buttons (see Section 10 of this manual).
This prevents the danger of unwanted and/or accidental starts of the machine, since the
switch can only be activated through a voluntary action suitable for the given purpose and
when the machine is powered.
The start button is, moreover, equipped with a protective ring.
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the sander is equipped with power cable and plug
with grounding conductor, which provides a path of least resistance for electric current and
reduces the risk of electric shock.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, earthed in accordance with current
regulations. Extension cables must be of a section equal to or greater than the power cable of
the machine.
Electric shock
Improper connection of the machine’s grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric
shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you don't understand the grounding instructions
or if you have any doubts about grounding the machine.

ACCESSORIES

6.2 "Mechanical" Safety Devices
These prevent contact with the moving parts of the machine such as the electric motor, the
drive belt and the part of the abrasive tools.
Checking the safety devices
Each time the sander is used, check that the guards function and are positioned properly.
In the event of damage and/or breakage, do not use the machine.
Use of PPE
In any case, ALWAYS use appropriate personal protective equipment such as:
Gloves Goggles or face shields
Overalls or
aprons Safety shoes

7 ASSEMBLY
7.1 Assembly of the stop - piece support
1. Place the stop - piece support (A)
on the belt and then secure it with
the screw (B) and the two washers
supplied, as shown in Figure 6.
2. Fasten the support in position by
tightening the screw (B). To do this,
use a hex wrench.
Figure 6 – Assembly of the stop - piece support
7.2 Assembling the work table
1. Position the support of the work table
beneath the table itself and align the
fastening holes as shown in Figure 6.
2. Fasten the support to the table, using
the 3 fastening screws and the washers
supplied, as shown in Figure 6.
To do this, use a hex wrench.
3. Turn the table so that the support and
the relative fastening screws are facing
down, and then position the table in
such a way that the pin (D) present in
the support is aligned with the hole on
the machine body, as shown in Figure
7.
4. Insert the locking lever (E) of the table,
with its relative washer, into the
grooved housing for the rotation of the
table, after which screw the lever into
the threaded hole on the machine
body. Figure 7 - Assembling the work table support.

8 INSTALLATION
Loss of stability
Install the Sander on a solid and durable surface, such as a workbench, to prevent it from
tipping and causing vibrations.
Clean the Workbench
Before installing the machine, clean the workbench of any materials and dirt that may be
present.
Drill two fastening holes in a flat, solid and strong workbench, or on another surface with
similar characteristics.
For the dimensions and position of the fastening holes, see the Figure
Figure 9 – Position of the fastening holes.
1. Place the machine on the bench, so as to line up the fastening holes in the base with
those in the bench.
