other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.

recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may become hazardous when used
on another tool.

Intended use
The sanders are designed for sanding wood,
plastic, 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
reasons. The machines may only be used for
dry sanding.
The user bears sole responsibility
for any da-mage or accidents resulting from
incorrect use.
Electrical connection and operation
The mains voltage must correspond with the
voltage on the rating plate!
See the following Fig. for connecting or
disconnecting the power cord of the tool.
Always switch the machine off
before connecting or disconnecting the power
cable!

Various dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction 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, and
•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 work with
approved safety equipment, such
as dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
