The specified vibration emission value can also be used to make an initial exposure estimate. WARNING! ► The vibration emission value varies in accord- ance with the use of the power tool and may be higher than the value specified in these instructions in some cases. Regular use of the power tool in such a way may cause the user to underestimate the vibration. Try to keep the vibration loads as low as possible. Examples of measures for reducing the vibration load are wearing gloves when using the tool and limiting the working time. Wherein all states of operation must be included (e.g. times when the power tool is switched off and times where the power tool is switched on but run- ning without load). General Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING! ► Read all safety warnings and all instruc- tions. Failure to follow the safety information and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo- spheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec- tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.■ 14 

PBS 900 C3 c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con- ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites ac- cidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel- lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Use and handling of the power

tool a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can- not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing ac- cessories or storing power tools. Such preven- tive 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 dan- gerous 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 ac- cidents 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.GB

 15 ■ PBS 900 C3 g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instruc- tions, taking into account the working condi- tions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replace- ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Appliance-specific safety instructions for belt sanders ■ Hold the appliance by the insulated handles since the grinding belt can come into contact with its own power cable. Damage to a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give the operator an electric shock. Safety information for sanders WARNING! ■ Dusts from materials such as leaded paint, some types of wood and metal can be harm- ful to your health. ■ Contact with or inhalation of these dusts can represent a health hazard for the person operating the appliance and other people in the vicinity. ■ Wear safety goggles and a protective dust mask! Operation Tensioning/replacing the abrasive belt

WARNING! RISK OF INJURY

■ Always remove the power plug from the wall socket before carrying out any work on the belt sander.

1. Loosen the clamping device for the abrasive

belt by swivelling the clamping lever all the way out (see fig. A). The clamping device is now open and the abrasive belt can be re- moved.

2. Now fit a new abrasive belt or swap the belt

to work a different material or to use a different grain size. IMPORTANT: The direction of the arrows on the inside of the abrasive belt and on the appliance housing must match.

3. Push the clamping lever

back into its initial position. Adjusting the abrasive belt: ♦ Pick up the appliance, switch it on and turn it over. Adjust the belt tracking. To do this, turn the adjustment screw until the edge of the abrasive belt is flush with and runs parallel to the appliance edge (fig. B). IMPORTANT: It is important to ensure that the abrasive belt does not rub against the housing. Check the belt tracking regularly and adjust it with the adjusting screw if required .■ 16 

PBS 900 C3 Working procedures A light grinding pressure is sufficient: ■ Apply minimal pressure when grinding. The belt sander’s own weight is sufficient for a good grinding result. In addition, working this way helps to reduce the wear on the abrasive belt and the surface of the workpiece will become smoother. Removal and surface: ■ The material removal rate and surface quality are determined by the belt speed and grain strength of the sandpaper (see also the section “Selecting speed and abrasive belt”). Grinding: ■ Place the appliance on the workpiece when switched on and work at a moderate feed rate. Guide the sander in parallel and overlapping sanding motions over the workpiece. To avoid unpleasant transverse grinding marks, always sand in the direction of the grain. After completing the task, lift the appliance from the workpiece and then switch it off. NOTE ► Always hold the appliance firmly with two hands while working. Dust extraction

■ If there is an explosive dust/air mixture, you must use a specially-designed extraction device. RISK OF FIRE DUE TO FLYING SPARKS! Do not use dust extraction systems (dust col- lector or vacuum cleaners) when grinding metals. ■ Materials containing asbestos may not be pro- cessed. Asbestos is a known carcinogen. WARNING! RISK OF FIRE! ■ When working with power tools which have a dust collector or can be connected to a vacuum cleaner via a vacuum cleaner adapter, there is a risk of fire! In unfavourable conditions, e.g. when sparks are flying while sanding metal or metal residues in wood, wood dust in the dust collector (or the bag of the vacuum cleaner) can spontaneously ignite. This is a particular risk if the wood dust is mixed with paint residues or other chemicals and the workpiece has become hot after being worked for a long time. Therefore, do not allow the workpiece to overheat and always empty the dust box or the dust bag of the vacuum cleaner before taking a break from work. ■ Ensure that your workplace is adequately ventilated. ■ Observe the regulations applicable in your country regarding the materials to be worked.

Wear a dust mask. Dust extraction with dust collector (see fig. C): ♦ Push the dust collector onto the extraction nozzle . Dismantling/removing the dust collector: ♦ Pull the dust collector off the appliance. Dust extraction adapter (with reducer ) (see fig. C): ♦ Push the dust extraction adapter onto the extraction nozzle . If necessary, use the re- ducer by pushing it onto the dust extraction adapter

♦ Push the hose from a suitable dust extraction appliance (e.g. a workshop vacuum cleaner) onto the dust extraction adapter ; use the reducer if necessary.GB

 17 ■ PBS 900 C3 Removal: ♦ Pull off the dust extraction device hose. ♦ Pull the dust extraction adapter off (and also the reducer , if attached). Operation Switching on and off While operating the belt sander, you can choose between instantaneous and continuous operation. Switching to instantaneous operation: ♦ Press the ON/OFF switch

Switching off instantaneous operation: ♦ Release the ON/OFF switch

Adjusting the rotational speed (instantaneous operation) Press the ON/OFF switch lightly for a low speed. Increasing the pressure increases the speed. Switching to continuous operation: ♦ Press the ON/OFF switch , keep it pressed in and then press the lock button . Switching off continuous operation: ♦ Press the ON/OFF switch and then release it. Selecting speed and abrasive belt (continuous operation) You can use the speed preselector wheel to adjust the speed, while the appliance is running

= lower speed, + = higher speed). The optimum belt speed is dependent on the workpiece or ma- terial being processed. We recommend carrying out a practice run to determine the correct speed. In the table below, you will find some recommended values which will help you determine which belt and speed to use for which job. Material/ working area Softwood Rough sanding (grain size)
