1.1 Safety note
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warn-
ings 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.
- Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the belt may contact its own cord.
Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool “live” and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Harmful/toxic dusts can occur during your work
(e.g. lead-containing paint, some types of wood
and metal). Contact with these dusts, especially
inhaling them, can represent a hazard for operat-
ing personnel or persons in the vicinity. Comply
with the safety regulations that apply in your coun-
try. Connect the electric power tool to a suitable
extraction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protec-
tive mask.
- Before doing any work to the machine, fi rst re-
move the plug from the mains.
- Only insert plug when machine is switched off.
- Use the machine only for dry sanding.
- Materials containing asbestos are not to be
worked.
- Always connect to a dust bag or external dust
extraction device.
- When sanding take care the cable does not come
into contact with the sanding belt.
- The damaged cord must be exchanged imme-
diately by a specialist.
- Repairs should only be carried out by qualifi ed
personnel.
- Use only original spare parts.
- Only for AS/NZS: The tool shall always be sup-
plied via residual current device with a rated
