Introduction
Thank you for purchasing this quality product. To minimise the risk of injury we urge that our clients
take some basic safety precautions when using this device. Please read the operation instruc-
tions carefully and make sure you have understood its content.
Keep these operation instructions safe.
Each power tool is carefully tested and subject to strict quality controls by quality assurance. Neverthe-
less, the service life of a power tool depends to a great extent on its user. Observe the information
contained in these instructions. The more carefully you treat your power tool, the longer it will provide
reliable service.
Safety instructions
•Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces because the belt may contact its own cord. Cut-
ting a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the tool live and could give the operator an
electric shock.
•Flying sparks are created when sanding metal. Ensure that no persons are in danger. Due to
the risk of fire, all combustible materials must be removed from the work area (area affected by
flying sparks).
•During machining, of metals in particular, conductive dust can form deposits inside the machine.
This can lead to the transfer of electrical energy onto the machine housing. This can mean a
temporary danger of electric shocks, and therefore it is necessary to blow compressed air
through the rear ventilation slots of the machine regularly, frequently, and thoroughly when the
machine is running. Make sure to firmly hold the machine while doing so.
•We recommend using a stationary extractor system and connecting a residual current circuit-
breaker (FI) upstream. When the machine is shut down via the FI circuit-breaker, it must be
checked and cleaned. See chapter “Cleaning and maintenance” for more information on clean-
ing the motor.
•Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals, and metal may
be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of their dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respira-
tory 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). Material containing asbestos must only be treated by special-
ists.
•Notes:
◦Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible, it shall be used.
◦The work place must be well ventilated.
◦The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
◦Follow national requirements for the materials that you want to work with. Materials gener-
ating dusts or vapours possibly harmful to health must not be processed.
◦Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss. Wear protective gloves.
Always wear protective goggles!
•Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g., with the help of clamping devices. Always guide
the machine with both hands on the handles provided. Loss of control can cause personal injury.
•Never place your hand near rotating parts of the device or near the rotating sanding belt.
•Remove sanding dust and similar material only when the machine is not in operation.
•Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any adjustments, conversions, or servicing are per-
formed.
•The rated speed of the sanding belt must be at least equal to the belt speed in idling marked on
the power tool. A sanding belt running faster than its rated speed can break and fly apart.
•Check prior to each use that the sanding belt is correctly attached and that it lies completely on
the rollers. Carry out a trial run: Allow the machine to run at idling speed for 30 s in a safe
location. Stop immediately if significant vibrations occur or if other defects are noted. If such a
situation occurs, check the machine to determine the cause.
