before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures 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
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage 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 instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
2.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
2.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

3. Special Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!

metal parts of the power tool and cause an electric
shock.

Flying sparks are created when sanding metal.
Ensure that no persons are in danger. Due to the
risk of fire, all combustible materials must be
removed from the work area (area affected by flying
sparks).
Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in
conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is
recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health must not be processed.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Wear protective gloves.
Always wear protective goggles.
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the
help of clamping devices.
Always guide the machine with both hands on the
handles provided. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
Never place your hand near rotating parts of the
device or near the rotating sanding belt.
Remove sanding dust and similar material only
when the machine is not in operation.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
any adjustments, conversions or servicing are
performed.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the
machine is switched off.
The rated speed of the sanding belt must be at least
equal to the belt speed in idling marked on the
power tool. A sanding belt running faster than its
rated speed can break and fly apart.
Check prior to each use that the sanding belt is
correctly attached and is completely on the rollers.
Carry out a trial run: Allow the machine to run at
idling speed for 30 seconds in a safe location. Stop
immediately if significant vibrations occur or if other
defects are noted. If such a situation occurs, check
the machine to determine the cause.
