battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

Safety Warnings for Sander

► Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetration of water
into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock.
► Caution, fire hazard! Avoid overheating the object
being sanded as well as the sander. Always empty the
dust collector before taking breaks. In unfavourable
conditions, e. g., when sparks emit from sanding metals,
sanding debris in the dust bag, micro filter or paper sack
(or in the filter sack or filter of the vacuum cleaner) can
self-ignite. Particularly when mixed with remainders of
varnish, polyurethane or other chemical materials and
when the sanding debris is hot after long periods of
working.
► Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than
by hand.

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should

authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible
shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
