Safety instructions for orbital sander

WARNING!

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. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

■ Attention Risk of fire! Avoid overheating the material to be ground and the grinder. Always empty the dust container before taking breaks from work. Grinding dust in the dust sack, microfilter, paper sack (or in the filter sack or filter of the dust extractor) may self-ignite under unfavourable conditions, e.g. caused by flying sparks when grinding metals. It is particularly hazardous if the grinding dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane residue or other chemical substances and if the material is ground for a long time until hot.

■ Dust released from materials, such as lead paints, some types of wood, minerals and metal, may be hazardous to the operator or people in the vicinity. Inhaling or touching these dusts may result in respiratory diseases and/or allergic reactions.

– Ensure the work place is well ventilated!
– If possible, use external dust extraction.
- It is recommended to wear a respirator mask belonging to filter class P2.

■ Use the power tool for dry sanding only. If

water penetrates the power tool, there is an increased risk of electric shock.

• Secure the workpiece. A workpiece is held more securely in a clamping device or vice than by hand.
• Keep the workplace clean. Material mixtures are especially dangerous. Light metal dust may burn or explode.
  ■ Do not work on materials which release hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos).
  ■ Never grind light metals which have a magnesium content greater than 80%. Risk of fire!
  ■ Before using the machine, check that the grinding tools have been installed and secured correctly. Switch on the power tool at no load for 30 seconds!
  ■ When metal is being ground, flying sparks occur. Ensure that nobody can be endangered by flying sparks.
  ■ Interrupt the test run immediately if violent vibrations occur or other damage is established. Check the machine to determine the cause.
  ■ Before putting down the sander, switch it off and wait until it comes to a standstill.
  ■ Do not clamp the sander in a vice.

Noise and vibration

The noise and vibration values have been determined in accordance with EN 62841.

The A evaluated noise level of the power tool is typically:

	Sound pressure level L_pA	Sound power level L_WA
ORE 2-125 18-EC	78 dB(A) 86 dB(A)
OSE 2-80 18-EC	74 dB(A) 82 dB(A)
ODE 2-100 18-EC	73 dB(A) 81 dB(A)
	Uncertainty K=3dB

Total vibration value:

	Emission value a_h
ORE 2-125 18-EC 3	2 m/s ^2
OSE 2-80 18-EC <2	5 m/s ^2

ODE 2-100 18-EC <2.5 m/s ^2
	Uncertainty K = 1.5 m/s ^2

CAUTION!

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

NOTE

The declared vibration total value(s) and the declared noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a measurement method standardized in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The specified vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool.

However, if the tool is used for different applications, with different cutting accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission level may differ.

This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

To make an accurate estimation of the vibration exposure level, it is also necessary to take into account the times when the tool is switched off or running but not actually in use.

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 cutting accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

WARNING:

The vibration and noise emissions during actual use of the power tool can differ from the declared value in which the tool is used; In order to protect the operator, user should wear gloves and ear protectors in the actual conditions of use.

CAUTION!

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

Operating instructions

WARNING!

Remove the battery before carrying out any work on the power tool.

NOTE

When the power tool is switched off, the tool continues running briefly.

For further information on the manufacturer's products go to www.flex-tools.com

Before switching on the power tool

Unpack the cordless orbital sander and check that here are no missing or damaged parts.

NOTE

The battery is not fully charged on delivery. Prior to initial operation, charge the battery fully. Refer to the charger operating manual.

Inserting/replacing the battery

■ Press the charged battery into the power tool until it clicks into place (see figure B).
■ To remove, press the release button(1.) and pull out the battery (2.) (see figure C).

CAUTION!

When the device is not in use, protect the battery contacts. Loose metal parts may short circuit the contacts; explosion and fire hazard!

Attaching/changing the sanding sheet

The sanding plate (4) has Velcro fasteners and is therefore designed exclusively for use with Velcro sanding sheet (see figure D1&D2&D3).

■ Remove the battery.
■ Remove used sanding sheet.
■ Remove any coarse debris from the sanding plate (4).
■ Attach new sanding sheet. Align the holes in the sanding sheet with the holes in the sanding plate (4).
■ Attach the sanding sheet by gently pressing it against the Velcro fasteners on the sanding plate (4).

Changing the sanding plate

If the sanding plate (4) has worn out, it can be replaced (see figure E1&E2&E3).

■ Remove the battery.
■ Undo the four screws.
■ Remove the sanding plate (4) by pulling it downwards.
■ Attach a new sanding plate.
■ Tighten the four screws back.

NOTE: when changing the orbital sander, align the four pins (E4-2) on the sanding plate with the locating holes (E4-1) in the tool (see figure E4).

NOTE: When removing and installing the screws, the sanding plate needs to be held down so that it does not rotate when the screws are screwed in.

Attaching /removing extraction dust bag and dust extraction adapter

WARNING!

When using the sander, you must use a dust extraction bag or an external dust extraction.

WARNING!

Avoid dust accumulation at the workplace.

Dust can easily ignite.

■ Align the triangle on the dust extraction bag (8) or dust extraction adapter (6&7) with the triangle on the dust extraction outlet.
■ Press the buckles on both sides of the dust extraction bag (8) or dust extraction adapter (6&7) and push the dust extraction bag (8) or dust extraction adapter (6&7) onto the dust extraction outlet (5) all the way until the buckles (9) on the dust extraction bag (8) or dust extraction adapter (6&7) snap into the groove of the dust extraction outlet (5) (see figure F).
