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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med- ication. 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 a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate condi- tions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger 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 and clothing 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, en- sure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of the tool allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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. b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o󰀨. 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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any ad- justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool acciden- tally.

5. Safety information

m WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra- tions and technical data provided with this power tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re 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).

a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at- mospheres, such as in the presence of am- mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools cre- ate sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while op- erating 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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or ground- ed 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 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 pow- er 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 reduc- es the risk of electric shock.www.scheppach.com

• 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 sur- faces.

• Avoid sanding paints containing lead or other sub- stances hazardous to health.

• Do not work on materials containing asbestos. As- bestos 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 / acces- sories. The use of tools or accessories other than those recommended in the operating instructions could lead to you su󰀨ering an injury.

• Always keep the device clean, dry and free of oil or grease.

• Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of elec- tric shock.

• Ensure that no persons are at risk due to ying sparks. Remove combustible materials from the surrounding area. Flying sparks are created when sanding metals.

• Warning: Danger of re! Avoid overheating the workpiece and the sander. Always empty the dust collector before taking a break from work. Sanding dust in the dust bag, microlter, paper bag (or in the lter bag or vacuum cleaner lter) can spontaneously combust under certain conditions, for example if ying sparks are created when sand- ing metals. This risk is increased if the sanding dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane residue or with other chemical substances and if the workpiece is hot as a result of prolonged work.

• Clean the air vents on your power tool regu- larly. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.

• Hold the power tool rmly with both hands and make sure you have a stable footing. The power tool can be more securely guided with both hands.

• Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down.

• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

• In case of damage and improper use of the bat- tery, vapours may be emitted. Ensure the area is well-ventilated and seek medical attention should you experience any adverse e󰀨ects. The vapours may irritate the respiratory system.

• Do not open the battery. There is a risk of short-circuiting. d) 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 oper- ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main- tained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. 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 pow- er tool for operations di󰀨erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the power tool in un- expected situations.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replace- ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
