with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take

Safety advice relating spe-

Securely support the workpiece. Use clamps or
a vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much
safer than holding it in your hand.
Never support yourself by placing your hands
near or in front of the device or the workpiece
surface. A slip can result in injury.
If a dangerous situation arises, pull the mains
plug immediately out of the mains socket.
Always work with the mains lead leading
away from the rear of the device.
DANGER oF FIRE FRoM FLyING SPARKS!
Abrading metal creates flying sparks. For this
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.
