Non-load oscillation speed: n

Backing plate: 360° rotatable Protection class: II / Noise and vibration data: Measured values for noise are determined in accord- ance with EN 60745. The A-weighted noise level of the electrical power tool are typically: Sound pressure level: 80 dB(A) Sound power level: 91 dB(A) Uncertainty K: 3 dB Wear ear protection! Evaluated acceleration, typical: Hand / arm vibration a

Uncertainty K = 1.5 m / s

The vibration level specified in these instructions was measured in accordance with an EN 60745 standardised measurement process and can be used to compare equipment. The vibra- tion emission value specified can also serve as a preliminary assessment of the exposure. The vibration level will change according to the ap- plication of the electrical tool an in some cases may exceed the value specified in these instructions. Re- gularly using the electric tool in such a way may make it easy to underestimate the vibration. Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment of the vibration loads experienced during a particular period of working, you should also take into account the intervening periods of time when the device is switched off or is running but is not actually in use. This can result in a much lower vibration load over the whole of the period of working. General safety advice for electrical power tools Read all the safety advice and instructions! Failure to observe the safety advice and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and / or serious injury. Keep all the safety advice and instructions in a safe place for future reference! The term “electrical tool” used in the safety advice refers to electrical tools powered by mains electric- ity (by means of a mains lead) and electrical tools powered by rechargeable batteries (without a mains lead).

Workplace safety a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.

Do not work with the device in potentially explosive envi- ronments in which there are inflammable liquids, gases or dusts. Electrical power tools create sparks, which can ignite dusts or fumes.

Keep children and other people away while you are operating the electrical tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the device.

The mains plug on the device must match the mains socket. The plug must not be modified in any way. Do not use an adapter plug with devices fitted with a protective earth. Unmodified plugs and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock. b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig- erators with any part of your body.38 GB General safety advice for electrical power toolsGeneral safety advice for electrical power tools There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed

c) Keep the device away from rain or moisture. Water entering an electrical device increases the risk of electric shock.

Do not use the mains lead for any purpose for which it was not intended, e.g. to carry the device, to hang up the device or to pull the mains plug out of the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the device. Damaged or tangled mains leads increase the risk of electric shock. e) When working outdoors with an electrical power tool always use ex- tension cables that are also approved for use outdoors. The use of an extension cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. f) Use a residual current device (RCD) for protection if operating the electri- cal power tool in a moist environment is unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Remain alert at all times, watch what you are doing and always proceed with caution. Do not use the device if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One mo ment of carelessness when using the device can lead to serious injury.

Wear personal protective equipment and always wear safety glasses. The wearing of personal protective equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety helmets or ear protectors, appropriate to the type of elec- trical power tool used and work undertaken, reduces the risk of injury. c) Avoid unintentional operation of the device. Check that the electrical power tool is switched off before you connect it to the mains, pick it up or carry it. Accidents can happen if you carry the device with your finger on the ON / OFF switch or with the device switched on. d) Remove any setting tools or spanners before you switch the device on. A tool or spanner left attached to a rotating part of a device can lead to injury. e) Avoid placing your body in an unnat- ural position. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. By doing this you will be in a better position to control the device in unforeseen circumstances. f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov- ing parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can become trapped in moving parts. g) If vacuum dust extraction and collection devices are fitted do not forget to check that they are properly connected and correctly used. The use of these devices reduces the hazard presented by dust.

Careful handling and use of electrical power tools a) Do not overload the device. Always use an electrical power tool that is intended for the task you are under- taking. By using the right electrical power tool for the job you will work more safely and achieve a better result. b) Do not use an electrical power tool if its switch is defective. An electrical power tool that can no longer be switched on and off is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Pull the mains plug from the socket before you make any adjustments to the device, change accessories or when the device is put away. This precaution is intended to prevent you from unintentionally starting the device. d) When not in use always ensure that electrical power tools are kept out of reach of children. Do not let anyone use the device if he or she is not familiar with it or has not read the instructions39 GB General safety advice for electrical power toolsGeneral safety advice for electrical power tools and advice. Electrical power tools are dan- gerous when they are used by inexperienced people. e) Look after the device carefully. Check that moving parts are working prop- erly and move freely. Check for any parts that are broken or damaged enough to detrimentally affect the functioning of the device. Have dam- aged parts repaired before you use the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools. f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control. g) Use the electrical power tool, accesso- ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions and advice, and the stipulations drawn up for this par- ticular type of device. In doing this, take into account the working conditions and the task in hand. The use of electrical power tools for purposes other than those in- tended can lead to dangerous situations.

a) Have your device repaired at the ser- vice centre or by qualified specialist personnel using original manufacturer parts only. This will ensure that your device remains safe to use. Safety advice relating specifically to this device Securely support the workpiece. Use clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much safer than holding it in your hand. Never support yourself by placing your hands near or in front of the device or the workpiece surface. A slip can result in injury. If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains plug immediately out of the mains socket. Always work with the mains lead leading away from the rear of the device.

SPARKS! Abrading metal creates flying sparks. For this reason, always make sure that nobody is placed in any danger and that there are no inflammable materials near the working area. NOXIOUS FUMES! Any harmful / noxious dusts generated from sanding represent a risk to the health of the person operating the device and to anyone near the work area.

DUST HAZ- ARD! When sanding wood and in particular when working on materials that give rise to dusts that are hazardous to health, the sander must be connected to a suit- able external dust extraction device. Wear protective glasses and a dust mask! Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when working on plastic, paint, varnish etc. Do not soak the materials or the surface you are about to work on with liquids containing solvents. Do not abrade moistened materials or damp surfaces. Avoid sanding paints containing lead or other substances hazardous to health. Do not work on materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen. Avoid contact with the moving sanding sheet. Operate the device only with an attached sanding sheet. Never use the device for a purpose for which it was not intended nor with non-original parts / accessories. The use of tools or accessories other than those recommended in the operating instructions could lead to you suffering an injury. Switch the device off and allow it to come to a standstill before you put it down. Always keep the device clean, dry and free of oil or grease.40 GB Preparing for use / Maintenance and cleaning / Service centre / WarrantyPreparing for use

Preparing for use CAUTION! Make sure that the device is switc hed off before you connect it to the mains supply. Note! Always switch on the delta sander before bringing it into contact with the workpiece material. Switching on the device: Push the ON / OFF switch

into Position “I“. Switching off the device: Push the ON / OFF switch

Vacuum dust extraction DANGER OF FIRE! There is the danger of fire when working with electrical devices that have a dust box or can be connected to a vacuum cleaner. Under certain conditions the wood dust in the dust extraction bag (or in the vacuum‘s dust bag) may ignite, e.g. as a result of flying sparks generated when abrading metals or metal objects left in wood. This can happen partic- ularly if the wood dust is mixed with paint residue or other chemicals and the abraded particles are hot from prolonged abrasion. Therefore you must empty the device’s dust collection box and the vacuum cleaner’s dust bag before taking a break or stopping work and always avoid overheating of the abraded particles and the device. Wear a dust mask! Always pull the mains plug is out of the socket before doing any work on the device.

Attaching / detaching sanding sheets Always pull the mains plug is out of the socket before doing any work on the device. Attaching: Sanding sheets are attached to the backing plate

by means of the hook and pile fastening. Detaching: Simply pull the sanding sheet off the backing plate

Rotating the backing plate Always pull the mains plug is out of the socket before doing any work on the device.41 GB Preparing for use / Maintenance and cleaning / Service centre / WarrantyPreparing for use Rotate the backing plate

into the desired position (see Fig. D). Sanding and surfaces: The sanding output and the quality of the surface finish are determined by the grade of grit on the sanding sheet. Always use sanding sheets with grades that are suitable for the particular surface you are sanding.

Advice on use Switch the device on before placing it against the workpiece. Apply light sanding pressure only. Advance the device at an even rate. Change sanding sheets at the appropriate time. Do not work on different types of material using the same sanding sheet (e.g. wood and then metal). To achieve the best sanding results you should use unworn, undamaged sanding sheets. Clean the sanding sheet from time to time with a vacuum cleaner. Sand difficult to reach places with the front or side corners of the backing plate

Work in parallel and overlapping widths. After sanding the workpiece, lift the device from the workpiece before switching it off.

Maintenance and cleaning Always pull the mains plug is out of the socket before doing any work on the device. The delta sander is maintenance-free. Clean the device frequently. This should be done immediately after you have finished using it. For cleaning the housing use a dry cloth only. Remove any adhering sanding dust with a narrow paint brush.
