• Mounting of sanding sheet 8
- tap the dust out of the VELCRO material on sanding
pad D before mounting the sanding sheet
- mount VELCRO sanding sheet E as illustrated
! the dust suction requires the use of perforated
sanding sheets
! perforation in sanding sheet should correspond
with perforation in sanding foot
! replace worn sanding sheets in time
! always use the tool with the total VELCRO
surface covered with sanding paper
• Mounting of auxiliary handle F 9 (1480)
! disconnect the plug
- screw auxiliary handle F on the right or the left of the
tool (depending on the work to be carried out)
• Dust suction 0
! disconnect the plug
- use dust extraction device G only when working with
sanding pad D
- mount dust extraction device G as illustrated
- connect vacuum cleaner
! do not use dust extraction device/vacuum cleaner
when sanding metal
- clean dust extraction device G regularly for optimal
dust pick-up performance
• On/off
- switch on/off the tool by pushing switch H 2 in "I"/"O"
position
! before the accessory reaches the workpiece, the
tool should run at full speed
! before switching off the tool, you should lift it
from the workpiece
• Adjusting working speed !
- with wheel J the required oscillating frequency can be
adjusted from low (1) to high (6) (also while tool is
running)
- the optimal working speed depends on the material
and can be determined with practical trials
• Holding and guiding the tool
! while working, always hold the tool at the
grey-coloured grip area(s) @
- keep ventilation slots K uncovered
- do not apply too much pressure on the tool (excessive
pressure will cause excessive heat and may shorten the
service life of the accessory)

NOISE / VIBRATION
• Measured in accordance with EN 62841 the sound
pressure level of this tool is 91.0 dB(A) and the sound power
level 102.0 dB(A) (standard deviation: 3 dB), and the
vibration ✱ (triax vector sum; uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s²)
✱ when sanding 4.5 m/s²
• The vibration emission level has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 62841; it
may be used to compare one tool with another and as a
preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when using
the tool for the applications mentioned
- using the tool for different applications, or with different or
poorly maintained accessories, may significantly
increase the exposure level
- the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job, may significantly
reduce the exposure level
! protect yourself against the effects of vibration by
maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping
your hands warm, and organizing your work patterns
