jThe auxiliary handle 7 can be adjusted or removed to allow you to sand difficult-to- reach places.

QVacuum dust extraction

Warning! Danger of fire! There is the danger of fire when working with electrical de- vices that have a dustbox or can be connected to a vacuum cleaner. Under certain conditions the wood dust in the dust collection box (or in the vacu- um‘s dust bag) may self-ignite, e.g. as a result of flying sparks generated when abrading metals or metal objects left in wood. This can happen partic- ularly if the wood dust is mixed with paint residue or other chemicals and the abraded particles are hot from prolonged abrasion. Therefore you must empty the device’s dust collection box and the vac- uum cleaner’s dust bag before taking a break or stopping work and always avoid overheating of the abraded particles and the device.

Wear a dust mask!

Dust extraction using the dust collection box:

jSlide the dust collection box 10 on to the dust extraction spout 5 on the side of the device (Fig. C).

Emptying the dust collection box:

jPull the dust collection box 10 off the dust ex- traction spout 5 . Press the 2 unlocking buttons (one on each side) and open the dust collection box 10, knock out the contents on a solid surface.

Dust extraction using external vacuum extraction:

Warning! If there is an explosive mixture of dust and air you must use a vacuum device espe- cially intended for that purpose.

Danger of fire! Do not use vacuum dust extraction (dust collection box or vacuum cleaner) when sanding metals (flying sparks).

Preparing for use / Operation

1.Push the extraction adapter 11 on to the dust extraction spout 5 on the side of the device (see Fig. C).

2.Slide the hose of a suitable dust extraction de- vice approved for that purpose (e.g. a workshop vacuum cleaner) on to the extraction adapter 11.

QOperation

QSwitching on and off

The PEBS 900 belt sander has full-wave electronics with additional control electronics, soft start with inrush current limiting.

When operating the belt sander you can select between intermittent or continuous operation mode. For short sanding tasks use the intermittent operation mode. For longer sanding tasks we recommend the continuous operation mode. Whilst working in your selected mode the device functions as follows:

To switch on intermittent operation mode:

jPress the ON / OFF switch 3 .

To switch off intermittent operation mode:

jRelease the ON / OFF switch 3 .

To switch on continuous operation mode:

jPress the ON / OFF switch 3 , and keep it pressed, then press the locking knob 2 .

To switch off continuous operation mode:

j Press and then release the ON / OFF switch 3 .
