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 instruc- tions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, 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.

5)Service

a)Have your power tool serviced by a quali- ﬁed repair person using only identical re- placement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY, USER MUST READ AND UNDERSTAND IN- STRUCTION MANUAL.

Various dust created by power sand- ing, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construc- tion activities contains chemicals known (to the State of California) to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•Lead from lead-based paints,

•Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products,

•Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

The risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.

To reduce your exposure to these chemicals work in a well ventilated area and use approved safety equip- ment, such as dust masks that are specially designed to ﬁlter out micro- scopic particles.

Electrical connec-

tion and operation

The mains voltage must correspond with the volt- age on the rating plate!

See the following Fig. for connecting or discon- necting the power cord of the tool.

Intended use

The sanders are designed for sanding wood, plas- tic, composite materials, paint / varnish, ﬁlling material and similar materials. Metal and materials with an asbestos content must not be processed with these tools.

The machine is particularly suitable for processing smaller surfaces and overhead work because of its size, its weight and its output.

The machines must not be damp nor operated in a damp environment for electrical safety rea-

Always switch the machine off before connecting or disconnecting the power cable!
