Pull the plug out of the plug socket before any
adjustments, conversions or servicing are
performed.
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.

attached (10)! Attach the additional handle
on the left or right of the machine and secure.
Attach the additional handle to the side facing
away from the sanding belt (6).
Turning the sanding head (8) to operating posi-

task at hand, turn the sanding head (8). The
sanding head must be positioned in the permitted
working area as shown (see illustration A, page 2).
Firmly tighten the locking screw (9).
Each time before you start work, verify that
the locking screw (9) is sufficiently tightened
to ensure that the sanding head (8) does not move.
Otherwise, the sanding belt (6) may come in
contact with the user. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.

Switch the machine on first before mounting
it on the workpiece.
The machine must not be allowed to draw in
additional dust and shavings. When

After switching off the machine, only place it

hands. Therefore, always hold the machine using
the handles provided, stand in a safe position and
