This may be caused by the following influencing factors that should be taken into account prior to and during each use:

• Is the device being used correctly?

• Is the correct type of material being processed?

• Is the device in proper working order?

• Are the handles or optional vibration handles mounted and fixed securely up against the body of the machine? If your hands experience an unpleasant sensation or the skin changes colour while you are using the machine, stop working immediately. Take sufficient breaks. If you do not take sufficient breaks, this may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome. You should estimate the level of load caused in conjunction with the work or use of the machine and take the appropriate breaks. This method can be used to considerably minimise the level of load during the entire working time. Minimise risks in which you are exposed to vibrations. Take care of your machinery in accordance with the directions in the operation instructions. If the machine is to be used frequently, contact your dealer and arrange anti- vibration equipment if necessary. Avoid using the tool in temperatures of t = 10 °C or lower. Draw up a working schedule which can be used to minimise vibration loads. 3 – Components 1 Switch on/off 2Handle 3Cable 4 Dust collection box 5 Sanding pad 6 Sanding sheet holder 7 Dust extraction holes 8 Oscillation frequency preselection 4 – Correct use This orbital sander only operates when dry grinding and, with suitable grained abrasive sheets, is suitable for the following work: Surface grinding on wood, metal, plaster and filler surfaces.

Remaining risks: The operating instructions for this electrical tool contain comprehensive tips for the safe handling of electrical tools. However, every electrical tool has a certain level of remaining risks which cannot be excluded by the protective mechanisms on the device. Always operate electrical tools with the necessary care. Remaining risks may be, for example:

• Touching rotating parts or tools.

• Injury caused by flying tools or tool parts.

• Risk of fire with insufficient ventilation of the motor.

• Adverse effects on the hearing caused by working without ear defenders. The ability to work safely is dependant on the familiarity of the operator when it comes to handling the given electrical tool. Appropriate knowledge of the machinery and careful behaviour when working help to minimise the remaining risks. 5 – General safety instructions for handling power tools 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 a Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents. b Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, 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

5456230-Schwingsch_man 30.01.15 09:08 Seite 35way. 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 electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 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 it is not possible to avoid using the electrical tool in a damp environment, use a residual current circuit-breaker. The use of a residual current circuit-breaker reduces the risk of an electrical shock. 3 Personal safety 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 masks, 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 accidents. 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, jewellery 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 these devices can reduce dust related hazards. 4 Power tool use and care 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.

5456230-Schwingsch_man 30.01.15 09:08 Seite 36b Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive 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 dangerous 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 accidents 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. g Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking 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. 5 Service a Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Additional safety notes for grinders and polishers

• Wear a dust-protection mask. Breathing in dust represents a risk to the operator and anybody else in the vicinity.

• Wear suitable personal protective gear. Touching or skin contact with dust represents a risk to the operator and anybody else in the vicinity. Note: When sanding, for example, paint containing lead, as well as certain types of wood and metal, it is possible that poisonous dust may be generated. Take appropriate precautions to prevent operators and anyone else in the area breathing in dust/coming into contact with dust.
