Safety instructions

WARNING!

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injuries. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

This power tool is intended to function as a grinder and sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
This power tool is not suitable for use with wire brushes and cutting discs. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
- 'Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
■ The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
■ The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
- Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
■ Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
- Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
- Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
■ Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
■ Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.

■ Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
■ Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
■ Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
■ Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and Related Warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation at the point of the binding.

For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.

Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.

• Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
  ■ Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
• Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.
  ■ Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kick-back.
  ■ Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

Special safety instructions for grinding

■ Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
■ The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
■ The guard must be attached securely to the electric power tool and adjusted to ensure maximum safety, i.e. the smallest possible part of the sanding tool is exposed to the operator. The guard should protect the operator from fragments and accidental contact with the sanding tool.
- Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

■ Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
■ Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

Special safety instructions for sanding

■ Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Additional safety instructions

■ Use only extension cables permitted for outdoor use.
■ It is not recommended to sand lead paint. Lead paint should be removed by a specialist only.
- Do not work on materials which release hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos). Take precautions if hazardous, combustible or explosive dust is likely to occur. Wear protective dust mask. Use dust extraction system.

Damage to property!

The mains voltage and the voltage specifications on the rating plate must correspond.

Noise and vibration

NOTE

Values for the A-weighted sound pressure level and for the total vibration values can be found in the table on page 6. The noise and vibration values have been determined in accordance with EN 60745.

CAUTION!

The indicated measurements refer to new power tools. Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change.

NOTE

The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly decrease the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

CAUTION!

Wear ear protection at a sound pressure above 85 dB(A).

Working with the power tool (Figure M)

CAUTION!

Hold the electric power tool with both hands! When working, always have one hand on the handle – even when working with attached extension. Keep your hands away from the sanding head.

Otherwise, your hand could become caught, as the sanding head swivels in different directions.

1. Attach sanding tool.
2. Connect dust extraction system.
3. Insert mains plug.
4. Set required speed.
5. Switch on dust extraction system.
6. Hold the renovation sander with both hands. This provides the best possible combination of range and leverage for the application.
7. Switch on the device.
8. Press the wall sander gently against the work surface (the pressure should be just enough to ensure that the sanding head is flush with the work surface).
9. Increase pressure to bring the abrasive into contact with the working surface. In doing so, swing the sander in overlapping movements to smooth the surface to the required fineness.

CAUTION!

The rotating parts of the DSH-R D150 sanding head must not come into contact with sharp projecting objects (e.g. nails, screws, junction boxes). The Velcro pad may be damaged if it comes into contact with projecting objects.

The Velcro pad can be replaced if it is damaged or severely abraded (see section entitled “Maintenance and care”).

Operating instructions

Brush ring

A brush-type ring surrounds the sanding head. This ring has two functions:

• As the ring projects above the surface of the sanding plate, it is the ring which comes into contact with the work surface first. As a result, the sanding head is brought parallel to the work surface before the sanding tool comes into contact with the work surface.
  This avoids a sickle-shaped depression caused by the edge of the sanding disc.
• The ring also retains the dust until it is extracted by the dust extractor.

If the brush ring is damaged or shows excessive wear, it should be replaced (see section entitled “Maintenance and care”). Replacement brush rings are available from any FLEX customer service centre.

Sanding in dry construction

The renovation sander features a unique swivel head. As this head can swivel in different directions, the sanding head can be adjusted to the work surface. As a result, the user can sand the upper, middle and lower wall areas or ceiling profiles without having to change his position.

When working, apply only as much pressure on the sanding head as is required to keep the abrasive in contact with the work surface. Excessive pressure may result in a disagreeable spiral pattern of scratches and an uneven work surface.

Move the sander constantly while the sanding plate is in contact with the work surface. In doing so, ensure that you move the sander evenly and over a wide area.

If you stop the sander on the work surface or move the sander unevenly, this may result in a disagreeable spiral pattern of scratches and an uneven work surface.

NOTE

The renovation sander has an overload cutout switch for protection of the device.

If the load is too great, the device switches off and immediately restarts.

CAUTION!

In extreme cases in which the sanding head is stopped abruptly, a coupling is installed in addition.

When this is triggered, the machine must be switched off immediately.

Maintenance and care

WARNING!

Before performing any work on the electric power tool, pull out the mains plug.
