Always wear a dust mask.

Always wear safety goggles.

Denotes risk of personal injury or damage to the tool.

Read the manual before use.

In accordance with essential safety standards of applicable European directives.

Class II - The machine is double insulated; earthing wire is therefore not necessary.

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery- operated (cordless) power tool.

Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents. Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of an electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of an electric shock if your body is earthed. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of an electric shock. Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of an electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of an electric shock.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.POWX04950 EN Copyright © 2021 VARO P a g e | 4 www.varo.com Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury. Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely. Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts. If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed. Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING ROLLERS

Hold the device by the insulated handle surfaces, as the sanding sleeve may strike the tool’s mains handle. Damaging a live wire may charge metal parts of the device and result in electric shock. Risk of fire due to sparks! Grinding metals produces sparking. Thus be very careful not to endanger persons, and that no flammables are near the work area. When working on wood, and especially when working on material which could produce harmful dust, connect the device to a suitable external dust extraction. Ensure adequate ventilation when working on plastics, paint, lacquer, etc. The sanding brush is designed for grinding areas on wood, plastic, metal and spackle, as well as painted surfaces. Only use the devise for dry grinding.POWX04950 EN Copyright © 2021 VARO P a g e | 5 www.varo.com Do not work on materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic. Warning! Toxic dust! Dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of wood, minerals and metal, can be noxious. Touching or inhaling this type of dust can present a danger to the user or person nearby. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask! Secure the work piece. Use clamps or a vice to secure the work piece. This is much safer than holding it in your hand. Never place your hand next to or in front of the device and the surface you are working on, as slipping poses a risk of injury. In the event of danger, immediately pull the mains plug out of the socket Always run the mains cable away from the appliance and toward the rear Avoid contact with the sanding sleeve in motion. Do not work on moistened materials or damp surfaces. Always apply the device to the working surface when switched on. When the task is complete, lift the appliance off the work pieces before switching it off. Always firmly hold the device with both hands whilst working. Ensure you have a solid stance. Allow the device to come to a complete stop and switch off before putting it down. Always unplug from the mains socket before taking breaks, especially working on the device (e.g. replacing sandpaper) and during non-use. 7 ASSEMBLY Warning! Risk of injury! Always unplug from the mains before working on the sanding brush.

7.1 Fitting and removing accessories (Fig. 1-2)

Press the spindle lock button. Remove the securing screw with the hex hey. Push the sanding accessory onto the tool holder. Secure by refitting the securing screw. Sanding accessories can only be fitted one way. The sanding accessory must slide on easily. Do not attempt to force it onto the tool holder. Check the correct direction of the sanding accessory.

7.3 Adjusting the dust extraction hood (Fig. 4)

Adjust the dust extraction hood (2) so dust or sparks are not directed at the user. The dust extraction hood (2) can cover the grinding spindle from various angles. Use the locking grooves (12) for this purpose. Following installation, loosen clamping screw (4) rotate the dust extraction hood (2) toward the handle (6) according to the application and the work piece and tighten the clamping screw (4). The dust extraction hood (2) will lock into place in several positions.POWX04950 EN Copyright © 2021 VARO P a g e | 6 www.varo.com

7.4 External extraction

Explosion hazard! A special dust extractor must be used for explosivedust / air mixtures. Fire hazard due to sparking! Do not use dust extraction when working on metal. Fire hazard! Using power tools which can be connected to a vacuum using a dust extraction poses a fire hazard! Unfavourable conditions, e.g. Sparking - when grinding metal or metal pieces in wood - can ignite wood dust inside the vacuum bag. This can particularly occur if the wood dust is mixed with paint particles or other chemicals and the ground product is hot after long work periods. Therefore be sure to avoid the ground materials and the device from overheating and always empty the vacuum bag before taking breaks. Wear a dust mask!

7.4.1 Connecting the dust extraction hose (Fig. 5)

Slide the vacuum adapter (D) into the connecting opening from the dust extraction hood (2). Slide the hose from a reliable dust extraction (e.g. a workshop vacuum) into the vacuum adapter (D).

7.4.2 Removing the dust extractor hose

Pull the hose out of the dust extraction unit. 8 OPERATION Risk of injury! Always unplug from the mains before working on the sanding brush. Firmly hold the power tool with both hands whilst working and ensure a solid stance. Holding the power tool with both hands is safer. Note the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source must correspond with the specifications on the type plate of the power tool.

8.1 Switching on / off

To switch on the power tool, slide the on / off switch (7) all the way to the right and then forward so the switch shows ‘1’. To save power, only switch on the power tool when in use. To switch off the power tool, slide the on / off switch (7) back so the switch shows “0“. Check the grinding tool before use. The grinding tool must be properly installed and rotate freely. Perform a test run of at least 1 minute without load. Do not use damaged, untrue vibrating grinding tools. Damaged grinding tools could burst and cause injuries.POWX04950 EN Copyright © 2021 VARO P a g e | 7 www.varo.com

8.2 Selecting the grinding tool

Select the grinding tool according to the shape of surface to be worked on and the material to be sanded. Match the grit with the desired material removal. Grinding tool Surface shape Grit Sanding sleeve Straight Flat medium

Lamella roll (10 mm) Fluted Medium

The removal and the surface quality are essentially determined by the choice of grinding tool, the speed setting and the pressure applied. Only grinding tools in good working order will yield good grinding performance and be easy on the power tool. Only use original grinding accessories.

8.4 Pre-setting the speed

Use the speed wheel (8) to also preselect the required speed during operation. The ideal belt speed varies by work piece or material being worked. Always determine the respective best speed yourself on a test piece. The following table contains non-binding values to aid you with selection. The specifications in the following table are recommended values: Use Grit (rough grinding/ finishing) Speed setting Sanding back lacquer 180/240 2/3 Repairing lacquer 120/240 4/5 Removing lacquer 40/60

Removing rust from steel 40/120

Stainless steel 80/240

stone 80/240 5/6 After working at slow speeds for extended periods you should allow the power tool to run at maximum speed in idle for approx. 3 minutes to cool down.

Switch on the power tool, apply the entire sanding surface to the surface to be worked, and move it across the work piece using moderate pressure. Be sure to apply pressure evenly to extend the life of the grinding tools. Increasing the application pressure excessively will not yield high sanding performance but higher wear of the power tool and the grinding tools.POWX04950 EN Copyright © 2021 VARO P a g e | 8 www.varo.com Do not use a grinding tool which has been used for metal for other materials.
