reason, always make sure that nobody is placed
in any danger and that there are no inflammable
materials near the working area.
NOxIOUS FUMES!
Any harmful / noxious dusts generated from
sanding represent a risk to the health of the
person operating the device and to anyone
near the work area.
Wear protective glasses and a dust mask!
When sanding wood and in particular when work-
ing on materials that give rise to dusts that are
hazardous to health, the sander must be connect-
ed to a suitable external dust extraction device.
Ensure that there is adequate ventilation when
working on plastic, paint, varnish etc.
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
surfaces.
Avoid sanding paints containing lead or other
substances hazardous to health.
Do not work on materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos 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 /
accessories. The use of tools or accessories other
than those recommended in the operating in-
structions could lead to you suffering an injury.
Switch the device off and allow it to come to a
standstill before you put it down.
Always keep the device clean, dry and free of
oil or grease.
Q
Have you understood
everything?
Once you have made yourself familiar with the
instructions and advice, the functioning and
handling of your device, you are finally in a
position to start work. Observing the manufac-
turer‘s instructions and advice will maximise
your safety while working with the device.
Q
Preparing for use
CAUTION!
Make sure that the device is
switched off before you connect it to the mains
supply.
Note:
Always switch on the delta sander before
bringing it into contact with the workpiece material.
Switching on the device:
Move the ON / OFF switch
1
forwards into
setting “I”.
Switching off the device:
Move the ON / OFF switch
1
backwards into
setting “0”.
Selecting the oscillation speed:
You can preselect the oscillation speed you require
using the oscillation speed setting wheel
2
. You
can also change the speed whilst you are working.
The way to determine the optimum oscillation
speed for your task is to carry out a practical test.
Setting 1 = lowest oscillation speed /
Setting max. = highest oscillation speed
Q
Vacuum dust extraction
DANGER OF FIRE!
There is
the danger of fire when working with electrical
devices that have a dust box or can be connected
to a vacuum cleaner. Under certain conditions the
wood dust in the dust extraction bag (or in the vac-
uum‘s dust bag) may ignite, e.g. as a result of flying
sparks generated when abrading metals or metal
objects left in wood. This can happen particularly if
the wood dust is mixed with paint residue or other
chemicals and the abraded particles are hot from
prolonged abrasion. Therefore you must empty the
device’s dust collection box and the vacuum clean-
er’s dust bag before taking a break or stopping
work and always avoid overheating of the abrad-
ed particles and the device.
Wear a dust mask!
