ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety meas-
ures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these in-
structions, taking into account the work-
ing conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
5. SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.

or shield, ear protection, dust mask and protec-
tive clothing including safety gloves.

your work.
▪ Always switch off before you put the sander
down.
▪ Do not force the sander; let the tool do the work
at a reasonable speed. Overloading will occur
if too much pressure is applied and the motor
slows resulting in inefficient sanding and pos-
sible damage to the sander motor.
▪ The dust, separated while processing materi-
als, containing quartz (SiO2) is dangerous to
your health. Do not process materials contain-
ing asbestos
▪ When sanding wood, always connect the dust
bag or use a dust extraction system.
▪ Before using the sander with metal, always
remove the dust bag from the outlet as sparks
may ignite the dust or the bag.
▪ Do not continue to use worn, torn or heavily
clogged sanding belts.
▪ Do not touch the moving sanding belt.
▪ Ensure that you have removed foreign objects
such as nails and screws from the work before
commencing sanding.
▪ Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool
to a power source (mains socket power point
receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the volt-
age supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a
voltage greater than that specified for the tool
can result in serious injury to the user, as well
as damage to the tool.
▪ If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power
source with a voltage less than the nameplate
rating is harmful to the motor.
▪ The tool must be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any use other than those mentioned
in this Manual will be considered a case of mis-
use. The user and not the manufacturer shall
be liable for any damage or injury resulting from
such cases of misuse.
▪ To use this tool properly, you must observe the
safety regulations, the assembly instructions
