The accompanying list of safety precautions
and the applicable regulations issued by your
trade association must be observed.
1. Safety rules
1.1 General safety rules
-WARNING- Read all instructions!
Fail-
ure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury. The term "power tool" in
all of the warnings listed below refers to
your mains operated (corded) power tool
or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1.1.1 Work area
a) Keep the work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the pres-
ence 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.
Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control.
1.1.2 Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the out-
let. Never modify the plug in any way.
Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching out-
lets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radi-
ators, 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 unplug-
ging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or mov-
ing parts.
Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an extension cord approved for
outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of elec-
tric shock.
1.1.3 Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when oper-
ating a power tool. Do not use a pow-
er tool while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or med-
ication.
A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in
serious personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear
eye protection.
Safety equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes,
hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before
plugging in.
Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging
in 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 rotat-
ing part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing 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,
clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts.
Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the con-
nection of dust extraction and collec-
tion facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used.
Use of these
devices can reduce dust related haz-
ards.
1.1.4 Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your applica-
tion.
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 pow-
er tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing pow-
er tools.
Such preventive safety mea-
sures 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. Check for mis-
Read the operating
instructions before use

alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other con-
dition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the pow-
er tool repaired before use.
Many acci-
dents 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 and in the manner intend-
ed for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
1.1.5 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a
qualified repair person using only gen-
uine replacement parts.
This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
1.2 Additional safety precautions
1.2.1 Personal safety
a) Wear ear protection.
Excessive noise
may lead to a loss of hearing.
b) Use the auxiliary handle supplied with
the tool.
Loss of control of the tool
may lead to injury.
c) Breathing protection must be worn
when the tool is used without a dust
removal system for work that creates
dust.
d) To avoid tripping and falling when
working, always lead the sypply cord,
extension cord and dust extraction
hose away tho the rear.
e) Dust from material such as paint con-
taining lead, some wood species, min-
erals and metal may be harmful. Con-
tact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respi-
ratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are
classified as carcinogenic such as oak
and beech dust especially in conjunction
with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Mate-
rial containing asbestos must only be
treated by specialists. Where the use
of a dust extraction device is possi-
ble it shall be used. To achieve a high
level of dust collection, use a suitable
vacuum cleaner of the type recom-
mended by Hilti for wood dust and/or
mineral dust together with this tool.
Ensure that the workplace is well ven-
tilated. The use of a dust mask of fil-
ter class P2 is recommended. Follow
national requirements for the mate-
rials you want to work with.
f) The tool is not intended for use by chil-
dren, by debilitated persons or those
who have received no instruction or
training.
g) Children must be instructed not to play
with the tool.
1.2.2 Power tool use and care
a) Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or
a vice to hold the workpiece in place.
The workpiece is thus held more secure-
ly than by hand and both hands remain
free to operate the tool.
b) In the event of a power faillure, switch
the tool off and unplug the supply cord.
This prevents inadvertent starting when
the power returns.
cb) Hold tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation
where the cutting tool may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord. Con-
tact with a “live” wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool “live” and shock
the operator.
1.2.3 Electrical safety
a) Check the condition of the supply cord
and its plug connections and have it
replaced by a qualified electrician if
damage is found. Check the condition
of the extension cord and replace it if
damage is found. Do not touch the
supply in the event of it suffering dam-
age while working. Disconnect the
supply cord plug from the socket
. Dam-
aged supply cords and extension cords
present a risk of electric shock.
b) Dirty or dusty electric tools should
thus be checked at a Hilti service
center at regular intervals, especially
if used frequently for working on con-
ductive materials. Dust (especially
dust from conductive materials) or
dampness adhering to the surface of
the tool may, under unfavorable con-
ditions, present a risk of electric shock.
1.2.4 Work area
a) Ensure that the workplace is well lit.
b) Ensure that the workplace is well ven-
tilated.
Poorly ventilated workplaces may be
injurious to the health due to exposeure
to dust.
1.2.5 Personal protective equipment
The user and any other persons in the
vicinity must wear suitable eye protec-
tion, ear protection and protective gloves
when the tool is in use. Breathing pro-
tection must be worn if no dust removal
system is used.

NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare
one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The
declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. Howe-
ver if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly
maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the expo-
sure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibra-
tion should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level
over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the ope-
rator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep
the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

8. Care, maintenance and
service
■Always disconnect the supply cord
plug from the mains socket before begin-
ning work on the machine.
■Keep the machine and the ventilation slots
2clean at all times.
■The machine is greased adequately by
the manufacturer during assembly. It is rec-
ommended that the machine is inspected at
a Hilti Service Centre after a long period of
heavy use. This will increase the machine's
life expectancy and avoid unnecessary repair
costs.
■When used under extreme conditions,
heavy dirt and dust deposits may form in the
interior of the machine. In such cases, the
use of a dust extraction system and a ground
fault interrupter (residual current device) is
recommended. The machine should also be
cleaned more frequently.
■Repairs may be carried out only by trained
electrical specialists.
CAUTION
Keep the power tool, especially its grip sur-
faces, clean and free from oil and grease.
Do not use cleaning agents which con-
tain silicone.
The outer casing of the tool is made from
impactresistant plastic. Sections of the
grip are made from a synthetic rubber
material. Never operate the tool when the
ventilation slots are blocked. Clean the ven-
tilation slots carefully using a dry brush.
Do not permit foreign objects to enter the
interior of the tool. Clean the outside of the
6. Dust extraction
The dust extraction system makes it easy to
dispose of sanding dust, reduces the amount
of dust in the atmosphere and generally pre-
vents the spread of large amounts of dust. Con-
nect and use a suitable external extraction sys-
tem before beginning long periods of sanding on
wood or materials that produce hazardous dust.
Use may be made of one of two possible
dust extraction systems.
1. The built-in dust extraction system with
dust bag (fig.5)
●Pull out the plastic slider 7(located on the
underside of the grip) as far as it will go before
fitting the dust bag 6.
Fit the dust bag by pulling it over the dust
extraction connector. Ensure that the plas-
tic slider engages with the tab provided on
the dust bag.
2. Using an external dust extraction system
(fig.6)
The extraction adapter 15 must be fitted

work on the machine.
Sanding
The sanding finish and the speed of mater-
ial removal is determined by the sanding
sheet (grain and quality), speed setting and
the pressure applied to the sander. Switch
the machine on before bringing it into contact
with the workpiece. Position the machine on
the surface to be sanded so that the entire
sanding sheet surface is in contact with the
workpiece. Apply slight pressure to the
machine while moving it over the workpiece.
Auxiliary grip
The auxiliary grip 12 allows the sander to be
held comfortably and permits even distrib-
ution of the force applied to the machine,
particularly when a high rate of removal is
desired. Use the internal hex. socket wrench
to attach the auxiliary grip 12 to the sander.
