2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Explanation of symbols
Denotes risk of personal injury, loss of life
or damage to the tool in case of non-
observance of the instructions in this
manual.
Indicates the presence of an electrical
voltage.
Wear eye protection.
Specific safety instructions
Hold the machine by the insulated gripping
surfaces where the accessory may contact
hidden wiring or the mains cable. If the accessory
contacts a 'live' wire, the exposed metal parts
of the machine can also become 'live'. Risk of
electric shock.
• If you are working with the sanding machine,
wear always ear protectors and dust mask.
• The sanding machine is not suitable for wet
sanding.
• Check if the switch is not in position "ON",
before you connect the mains plug to the
mains voltage.
• Keep the mains lead always away from moving
parts of the tools.
• Use safety glasses, especially when you sand
above your head.
• Do not bring pressure to your machine, this will
only delay the sanding.
Contact or inhalation of dust coming free
during sanding (e.g. lead painted
surfaces, woods and metals), can
endanger the health of operator and
bystanders. Always wear appropriate
personal equipment as a dust mask and
use the dust bag during sanding.
Immediately switch off the machine when:
• Excessive sparking of the carbon brushes and
verticiliosis in the collector.
• Interruption of the mains plug, mains lead or
mains lead damage.
• Defect switch
• Smoke or stench of scorched isolation
Electrical safety
When using electric machines always observe the
safety regulations applicable in your country to
reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal
injury. Read the following safety instructions and
also the enclosed safety instructions.
Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the rating
plate.
Class ll machine. Your machine is double
insulated; therefore no earthwire is
required.
Replacing cables or plugs
Immediately throw away old cables or plugs
when they have been replaced by new ones. It is
dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in
the wall outlet.
Using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable suitable
for the power input of the machine. The minimum
conductor size is 1.5 mm2. When using a cable
reel always unwind the reel completely.
3. OPERATION
Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
Choice of the sand-paper
Coarse sand-paper (grain 50) removes in general
the bigger part of the material and fine sand-
paper is used for the finishing. If the surface is not
even, then start with rough sand-paper. Further
you use middle coarse sand-paper(grain 80) to
remove the scratches left behind by the coarse
sand-paper and finally you take fine sand-paper
(grain 120) for the finishing.
Removing and Installing the sanding belt
Fig. C
Before assembly the sanding belt always
remove the plug from the mains.
• Put the machine on its side, with the drive belt
cover down wards.
