1 Intended use
As specifi ed, the machines are designed for sand-
ing and polishing wood, plastic, metal, composite
materials, paint/varnish, fi ller and similar mate-
rials.
Materials containing asbestos must not be proc-
essed.
For reasons of electrical safety the machine must
not be damp nor operated in a humid environment.
The machine may only be used for dry sanding.
The user is liable for damage and injury
resulting from incorrect usage!
2 Before starting up, please observe the
following
2.1 Safety instructions
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fi re
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
- Harmful/toxic dusts can occur during your work
(e.g. lead-containing paint, some types of wood
and metal). Contact with these dusts, espe-
cially inhaling them, can represent a hazard for
operating personnel or persons in the vicinity.
Comply with the safety regulations that apply in
your country. Connect the electric power tool to
a suitable extraction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protec-
tive mask.
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 oc-
cur during sanding.
- Prevent the penetration of liquid polish into
the tool. The penetration of liquid polish into
the power tool increases the risk of an electric
shock.
2.2 Noise and vibration information
The typical values determined in accordance with
EN 60745 are:
Sound pressure level
81 dB(A)
Sound-power level 92 dB(A)
Measuring uncertainty allowance K = 3 dB
Wear ear protection!
Vibration emission value a
h
(vector sum for three
directions) and uncertainty K measured in accord-
ance with EN 60745:
Fine sanding, Polishing
a
h
= 7,5 m/s²
K = 2,5 m/s²
Coarse sanding a
h
= 4,5 m/s²
K = 2,5 m/s²
The emission values specifi ed (vibration, noise)
were measured in accordance with the test con-
ditions stipulated in EN 60745 and are intended
for machine comparisons. They are also used for
making preliminary estimates regarding vibration
and noise loads during operation.
The emission values specifi ed refer to the main
applications for which the power tool is used. If
the electric power tool is used for other applica-
tions, with other tools or is not maintained suf-
fi ciently prior to operation, however, the vibration
and noise load may be higher when the tool is
used. Take into account any machine idling times
and downtimes to estimate these values more
accurately for a specifi ed time period. This may
signifi cantly reduce the load during the machine
operating period.
3 Power supply and start-up
The mains voltage must correspond to
the specifi cation on the rating plate.
To switch on the machine, press the switch (1.2)
downwards and forwards until it locks into place.
