WARNING
Risk of injury
► Always secure the workpiece in such a
manner that it cannot move while being
machined.
Observe the following information:
– Do not overload the machine by pressing
with excessive force! The best sanding re­
sults are achieved with moderate applica­
tion pressure. The sanding performance
and quality are mainly dependent on the
selection of the correct abrasive.
– Hold the machine with one hand by the
handle [1-9] to ensure safe guidance.
For sanding, we recommend the following set­
tings for the adjusting wheel [1-3]:

Extension Cord

If an extension cord is required, it must have
sufficient cross-section to prevent an excessive
drop in voltage or overheating. An excessive
drop in voltage reduces the output and can lead
to failure of the motor. The table below shows
you the correct cord diameter as a function of
the cord length for this tool.
