1 Before using sander
1.1 Safety instructions
Read the safety instructions on the
attached sheet before using the sander.
Always wear protective goggles
because of possible dangers when
sanding.
The manufacturer’s handling and processing
instructions must be observed without fail if
explosive or self-igniting dusts are likely to
occur during sanding.
The electric tool must be connected to a suitable
dust extraction unit and applicable safety
regulations must be observed if dusts
dangerous to health are likely to occur during
sanding.
Wear a dust mask for your own safety.
1.2 Correct usage
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 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
damage or accidents resulting from incorrect
use.
1.3 Noise and vibration information
Typical values established in compliance with
EN 50 144:
Sound pressure level 70 dB(A)
Measured acceleration
ES 150/3 EQ 4.0 m/s²
ES 150/5 EQ 6.0 m/s²
The noise level can exceed 85 dB(A)
during work.

3 Electronic control
The ES 150/3 EQ, ES 150/5 EQ has an
electronic control with which the
rotational speed can be varied step-
free.
This allows the sanding speed to be adapted to
the optimum level according to the material
concerned. The speed is set using the rotary
control button (1.1).
The numbers on the rotary control button
represent approximately the following stroke/
orbit speeds:
4 Dust extraction
