• Before use, remove all nails and other metal objects from the workpiece.
• Make sure that the workpiece is properly supported or fixed.
• Only use sanding belts that are suitable for use with the machine.

Electrical safety

Always check that the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Do not use the machine if the mains cable or the mains plug is damaged.
• Only use extension cables that are suitable for the power rating of the machine with a minimum thickness of 1.5 mm^2 . If you use a extension cable reel, always fully unroll the cable.

Mains plug replacement (UK only)

If the moulded 3-pin plug attached to the unit is damaged and needs replacing, it is important that it is correctly destroyed and replaced by an approved BS 1363/5A fused plug and that the following wiring instructions are followed.

The wires in the mains cable are coloured in accordance with the following code: blue neutral brown live

As the colours of the wires in the mains cable of the unit may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in the plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

The vibration emission level stated in this instruction manual has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745; it may be used to compare one tool with another and as a preliminary assessment of

exposure to vibration when using the tool for the applications mentioned

• using the tool for different applications, or with different or poorly maintained accessories, may significantly increase the exposure level
• the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job, may significantly reduce the exposure level

Protect yourself against the effects of vibration by maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping your hands warm, and organizing your work patterns
