01Noise emission value: Noise measurement value determined in accord-ance with EN 60745.. The A-rated noise level of the power tool is typically as follows: Sound pressure level: LpA = 87..29 dB (A) Uncertainty: KpA = 3 dB Sound power level: LWA = 98..29 dB (A) Uncertainty: KWA = 3 dB Wear hearing protection! Total vibration value: Total vibration values (vector total of three direc-tions) determined in accordance with EN 60745: Vibration emission value:ah = 1.901 m/s2 Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s2 NOTE ►► The vibration level specified in these instructions has been measured in accordance with measuring procedure specified in EN 60745 and can be used to make equip-ment comparisons. The specified vibration emis-sion value can also be used to make an initial exposure estimate. The vibration emission level varies depending on the use of the power tool and may be higher than the value specified in these instructions in some cases. Regular use of the electric tool in such a way may cause the user to underestimate the vibration. WARNING! ►► For an accurate estimate of the vibration load during a specific working period, the periods during which the appliance is switched off or is running but not actually being used must also be taken into consideration. This can signific-antly reduce the vibration load over the total working period. Power Tool Safety Warnings WARNING! ►► Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings 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. 1.. Work area safety a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. 02Do 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. 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. 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. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.. 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. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Us

of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. 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. 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 medi- cation. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. 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 condi-tions will reduce personal injuries. 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 accidents. 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. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew-ellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. 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. 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.

2.. Electrical safety

4.. Power tool use and care a)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. 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 prevent-ive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-dren 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. 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 acci-dents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, tak-ing 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. 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. Only hold the appliance using the insulated handle surfaces, as the abrasive belt can damage its own power cable. Contact with a live wire may apply voltage to exposed metal parts of the power tool and could give the oper-ator an electric shock. Dusts from materials such as leaded paint, some types of wood and metal can be harmful 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! WARNING – RISK OF INJURY! Always remove the power plug from the wall socket before carrying out any work. Loosen the clamping appliance for the abrasive belt by swivelling the clamping lever com-pletely out (see Fig.. B).. The abrasive belt can now be removed. Now attach a new abrasive belt or one suitable for another material or with a different grain size. IMPORTANT: The direction of the arrows on the inside of the abrasive belt and on the appliance housing must match..

Appliance-specific safety instructions for sanders

Operation Tensioning/replacing the abrasive belt

2.3. Push the clamping lever back to its original position. Manually adjusting the abrasive belt : If the abrasive belt does not run centrally after switching on, you will have to adjust the belt tracking manually. ♦♦ To do this, turn the adjusting screw on the front roller until the abrasive belt runs centrally. IMPORTANT: It is imperative to ensure that the abrasive belt does not rub against the hous- ing.. Check the belt tracking regularly, and readjust it using the adjusting screw if necessary. Working procedures A lower sanding pressure is sufficient: ■■ apply minimal sanding pressure when working.The own weight of the belt sander own weight is sufficient for good sanding performance.. This method further allows you to reduce wear on the abrasive belt , and the surface of your work-piece will be smoother. Removal and surface: ■■ The abrasive performance and the surface quality are determined by the belt speed and the grain size of the abrasive belt (see also Section "Selecting speed and abrasive belt"). Sanding process: ■■ Switch the appliance on, place it on the work-piece and work with a moderate forward move-ment. Run the sander in parallel and overlapping sanding motions over the workpiece..

nly sand in the direction of the grain to avoid transverse scratches. After completing the task, lift the appli-ance from the workpiece and then switch it off. NOTE ►► Always hold the appliance firmly with two hands while working.. Dust extraction WARNING! EXPLOSION HAZARD! ■■ In environments with an explosive dust / air mixture, please use a specially-designed extraction appliance. RISK OF FIRE DUE TO FLYING SPARKS! When sanding metals do not use dust extraction (dust box or vacuum cleaner). ■■ Materials containing asbestos may not be pro-cessed.. Asbestos is a known carcinogen. WARNING! RISK OF FIRE! ■■ Working with power tools that have a dust col-lection box or can be connected to a vacuum cleaner via the vacuum cleaner adapter causes a risk of fire! In unfavourable condi- tions, e.g. when sparks are flying while sanding metal or metal residues in wood, wood dust in the dust box (or in the vacuum cleaner dust bag) can spontaneously ignite. This is a particu- lar 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. 05■■ 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 using the dust box : ♦♦ Press the dust box into the notch provided for this purpose on the side of the appliance with the adapter fitting . Dismantling / removing the dust box : ♦♦ Pull the dust box off the appliance. Connect the external extraction adapter (with reducer ): ♦♦ Push the external extraction adapter onto the adapter fitting . If necessary, use the reducer by pushing it onto the external extraction adapter . ♦♦ Push the hose from a suitable dust extraction device (e.g. a workshop vacuum cleaner) onto the external extraction adapter (with the reducer if necessary). Removal: ♦♦ Pull the vacuum cleaner hose off the reducer. ♦♦ Pull the external extraction adapter (with the reducer if necessary) off. Operation Switching on and off During operation, you can choose between instant-aneous and continuous operation. Switching to instantaneous operation: ♦♦ Press the ON/OFF switch . Switching off instantaneous operation: ♦♦ Release the ON/OFF switch . Switching to continuous operation: ♦♦ Press the ON/OFF switch , keep it pressed in and then press the locking button . Switching off continuous operation: ♦♦ Press the ON/OFF switch and release it. Selecting speed and abrasive belt You can use the setting wheel for belt speed to select the speed even if the appliance is running.
