WARNING: Do not use a dustbag or
vacuum extractor without proper spark

OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety
instructions and applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk
of serious personal injury, turn
tool off and disconnect tool from
power source before making any
adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
WARNING:
• Make sure all materials to be sanded
are well secured.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the
workpiece. Excessive pressure does
not improve the sanding effect, but
only results in an increased load on
the machine and causes the abrasive
to tear.
• Avoid overloading.
WARNING: Do not sand magnesium!
Proper Hand Position (fi g. F)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS hold
securely in anticipation of a sudden
reaction.
Proper hand position requires one hand on the front
handle (4), with the other hand on the main handle
(18).
Switching On and Off (fi g. A)
• Switching on: press the on/off switch (1).
• For continuous operation, also press the lock-
on button (2).
• Switching off: press the on/off switch again.
Sanding (fi g. A)
• Start with the coarsest grit size.
• As the tool produces small scratch marks in all
directions, it is not necessary to sand with the
grain.
• Check your work at short intervals.
• Always switch off the tool when work is finished
and before unplugging.
Replacing the Dustbag (fi g. E)
For efficient dust extraction replace the dustbag
when it is about one third full.
1 . Carefully pull the dustbag opening (15) off the
frame outlet (16) and remove the dustbag (8).
2. Fit a new dustbag following the instructions as
described above.
