lead. Inhalation of toxic dust may endanger a sander operator or to bystanders. In this case, you should use appropriate personal 

protective equipment as dust masks, work in well ventilated areas and use external dust removal installations.

INSTALLATION OF EQUIPMENT

Attaching the sanding sheet (II)

CAUTION! 

Only install the sanding sheet when the supply voltage is disconnected. Remove the battery from the tool socket. 

The sander allows the attachment of sandpaper or sand cloth only with Velcro which is located on the tool plate. The sanding 

sheet should have one side adapted to be fastened using Velcro. In this case, the dimensions of the sheet should correspond to 

the size of the tool plate given in the table.

Attach the sheet so that it does not protrude beyond the plate and the holes in the sheet match the holes in the tool plate. This will 

allow for the e

ff

 ective extraction of dust generated during operation. 

Dust extraction

The tool is equipped with a dust extraction system. The use of a dust extraction system improves e

ffi

  ciency and safety at work. A 

fl

 exible hose connected to the dust extraction system, e.g. an industrial vacuum cleaner, must be 

fi

 xed to the dust extraction outlet. 

Do not use household vacuum cleaners as dust extraction systems. Household vacuum cleaners are not suitable for extracting 

dust generated during operation with a tool and such use can lead to damage to the vacuum cleaner. 

The adapter for connecting the hose to the dust extraction outlet must be purchased separately. The connection must be made in 

such a manner that the 

fl

 exible hose does not interfere with manoeuvring the tool during operation.  

PRODUCT OPERATION

Preparing for operation

All the assembly steps described above must be carried out before starting work.

Operating the sander 

Where required, secure the material to be machined in such a manner as it cannot move during work; use vices or clamps. The 

incorrect securing of the material to be machined may lead to material moving uncontrollably during work which increases the 

risk of serious injuries.

Wear personal protective equipment, such as eye and hearing protection, a dust mask, gloves and appropriate work clothing.  

Make sure to perform all assembly and adjustment activities. 

Check that the power switch is in the o

ff

  – O position, then connect the battery to the tool. 

Slide the battery into the socket guides until the latch (III) engages. A correctly installed battery cannot be removed except by 

pressing and holding the latch button and then sliding the battery out from the socket.  

Hold the sander with both hands by the main and additional handles and then keep it in a safe position so that the plate and the 

sanding sheet do not come into contact with any object (IV). Move the power switch to the on – I position. Allow the sander to reach 

the nominal operating speed and only then place it on the material to be machined. 

The sander is turned o

ff

  when the power switch is set to the o

ff

  – O position. 

The sander must be held in a safe position until the complete 

fi

 nishing of work. It is forbidden to stop the tool plate by pressing 

it against the machined surface. Then put down the sander, disconnect the battery from the tool and proceed with maintenance.      

Tips for working with the sander

It is forbidden to hold the sander in any other way but by the handles. Improper grip does not ensure safe operation and may 

obscure ventilation openings. This can lead to overheating of the tool.

The sanding sheet must be selected according to the type of sanded surface. It is recommended to consult the dealer or the 

manufacturer of the sanding sheets for advice on their intended use.

Do not reuse the used sanding sheet. Do not use damaged sanding sheets. Sheets with cracks, tears, cavities, or other damages 

may disintegrate during operation and cause injuries. Select the sandpaper grit size according to the type of work. Use a more 

coarse sheets for sanding and peeling. Use a 

fi

 ner-grit sheet for 

fi

 nishing works.

It is recommended to start work with a coarser sanding sheet and 

fi

 nish with a 

fi

 ner-grit sanding sheet. Sanding in this manner will 

be faster and lead to a better end result.

Do not use the sanding sheet used for sanding metal to sand wood. Do not use the sanding sheet used for sanding paint coat to 

sand wood.

Move the sander towards and away from you, and gradually to a side. Wood should be sanded along the rings. Sanding should 

be started with coarser sandpaper; then the 

fi

 ner-grit sandpaper should be used gradually until achieving the desired e

ff

 ect. Avoid 

checking the condition of the machined wood surface with a bare hand. This can cause injury from splinters and burrs formed 

during processing. Do not stop the sander in one place; this will cause uneven work results. Do not apply excessive pressure on 

the sanded surface during sanding. The pressure should be uniform throughout the entire working time. The sander should be 

guided in such a way that the sanding sheet adheres to the sanded object with the entire surface. Do not press the sander against
