Noise/Vibration Information
Measured sound values determined according to EN 60745.
Typically the A-weighted sound pressure level of the product
is less than 70 dB(A). Uncertainty K = 3 dB.
The noise level when working can exceed 80 dB(A).
Wear hearing protection!

The vibration level given in this information sheet has been
measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with anoth-
er. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main ap-
plications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or insertion tools or is
poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This
may significantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also
take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total working
period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator
from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work pat-
terns.

Assembly
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
Dust/Chip Extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing coatings,
some wood types, minerals and metal can be harmful to
one's health. Touching or breathing-in the dusts can cause
allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of
the user or bystanders.
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered
as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treat-
ment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– As far as possible, use a dust extraction system suita-
ble for the material.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials to be worked.
Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace. Dusts can
easily ignite.
Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box
(see Fig. A1 – A4)
Attach the dust box 2 onto the extraction outlet 6 until it latch-
es.
To empty the dust box 2, pull off the dust box downward.
Before opening the dust box 2, it is recommended to loosen
the dust from the filter element by gently striking it against a
firm support (as shown in the figure).
Hold the dust box 2 firmly, fold the filter element 7 upward
and empty the dust box. Clean the thin plates of the filter ele-
ment 7 with a soft brush.
Regularly emptying the dust box 2 ensures optimum vacuum-
ing performance.
External Dust Extraction (see figure B)
Mount a vacuum hose 8 onto the extraction outlet 6. Connect
the vacuum hose 8 with a vacuum cleaner. An overview for the
connection of various vacuum cleaners can be found at the
end of these instructions.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being
worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to
health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.
Replacing the Sanding Sheet (see figure C)
Only use the power tool with a sanding sheet attached
to it.
When attaching a new sanding sheet, remove any dust or de-
bris from the sanding plate 3 (e. g. with a brush).
To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay attention that the
punched holes in the sanding sheet match with the holes in
the sanding plate.
The sanding plate 3 is fitted with Velcro backing for quick and
easy fastening of sanding sheets with Velcro adhesion.
