OPERATION

	WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses.
	WARNING: Severe abrasion hazard. Always hold tool firmly	with	one hand
on the switch handle and the other hand on the secondary handle (3)			as shown
in Figure F. Never operate the Powerfile in an inverted stationary		position.
•	Let the tool work at its own pace.
•	Do not overload.

Variable speed control (fig. G)

The variable speed control allows you to adapt the speed of the tool to the workpiece material.

• Use a low speed setting when using a fine grit, when working with plastics or ceramics and when removing painted or varnished surfaces. Use a high speed setting when using a coarse grit and when removing a lot of material.

• Set the control knob (7) to the desired setting.

Switching on and off (fig. H)

WARNING: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger activates properly and returns to the “off” position when released and that either the dustbag (for non-metallic material) or the deflector (for metallic material) is in place on the exhaust opening.

• To switch the tool on, press the on/off switch (1).

• To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch. For continuous operation:

- Press the on/off switch (1). - Press the lock-on button (2). - Release the on/off switch.

• To switch the tool off when in continuous operation, press and release on/off switch (1).

Dust Collection

WARNING: To prevent accidental operation, turn off and unplug sander before installing the dust bag (8) or deflector (9).

WARNING:Fire hazard. Collected sanding dust from sanding surface coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust bag or elsewhere and cause fire. To reduce risk, empty bag frequently and strictly follow sander manual and coating manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING: Fire hazard. When sanding wood that could contain nails or when sanding metal surfaces, do not use the dust bag (8) or a vacuum cleaner because sparks are generated. Instead attach the deflector (9) with the open area facing away from your body. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Due to the danger of fire, do not use your sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.

Emptying the dustbag (fig. E)

The dustbag should be emptied every 10 minutes of use.

• Pull the dustbag (8) to the rear and off the tool.

• Hold the spout down and shake the dustbag to empty the contents.

• Reattach the dustbag onto the tool.

If necessary, the dustbag can be removed from its frame and washed. Let it dry before refitting it.
