Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
y into
-Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc pa-

selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extend-
ing beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard
and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Additional safety warnings
-CAUTION: In order to prevent overheating do not
cover the appliance.
-Ensure that neither the air access nor exit become
either totally or partially covered by drapery, clothing,
etc., as this increases the risk of fire.

matches the mains voltage before plugging in the ap-
pliance.
- Only use the appliance with the specific electric con-
nector provided.

and safety regulations.
- Protect yourself from contact with and the inhalation
of dust created by sanding wood and metal surfaces
and surfaces coated with lead paint. Use protective
equipment that complies with the appropriate health
and safety regulations.
- Exercise precaution after employing the stop opera-
tion on the appliance as the tool will continue moving
from the effect of its own mechanical inertia.
- Fully unroll the appliance's power cable before each use.
- Check the position of power cables before com-
Check the position of power cables before com-
mencing work ensuring they are well away from the
work area.
- Keep hands and other body parts well away from the
