5. Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
b) Always arrange for the replacement of the
plug or the power cord to be carried out by
the manufacturer of the tool or its customer
service department. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Appliance-specific safety instructions
To avoid the risk of injury or fire as well as
health risks
■
When working outdoors, connect the tool via
a fault current circuit breaker with a maximum
tripping current of 30 mA.
■
Use only an extension cable approved for
outdoor use.
■
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps/vices to
hold the workpiece firmly. This is much safer
than simply holding it in your hand.
■
In the event of danger, remove the mains
plug from the socket immediately.
■
Always route the power cord towards the
rear, away from the tool.

RISK OF FIRE DUE TO FLYING SPARKS!
Sanding metal generates sparks. Ensure that
nobody can be put at risk and that no combus-
tible materials are located in the immediate
vicinity of where you are working.
WARNING! TOXIC DUSTS!
►
Dusts from materials such as leaded paint,
some types of wood and metal can be
harmful to your health.
Contact with or inhalation of these dusts can
represent a health hazard for the person op-
erating the tool and any other people in the
vicinity.
PSS 270 C3
WARNING!
RISKS DUE TO DUST!
►
When working for extended periods on
wood and, in particular, materials that
produce dusts that are hazardous to health,
connect the tool to an appropriate external
dust extraction tool. Wear safety goggles
and a protective dust mask!
■
Provide sufficient ventilation when working on
plastics, paints, lacquers, etc.
■
Do not soak the materials or the area to be
processed with liquids containing solvents.
■
Avoid sanding lead paint or other harmful
materials.
■
Materials containing asbestos must not be
processed. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
■
The device is designed for the dry surface
sanding of wood, plastic, metal and plaster
and painted surfaces.
■
Never work on moistened materials or wet
surfaces. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
■
Always hold the tool firmly with two hands
while working.
■
Do not rest your hands next to or in front of
the tool and the area being worked as there
is a risk of injury if you slip.
■
Always switch the tool off and wait for the
sanding sheet 0 to stop moving before
putting the sheet sander down.
■
Always remove the plug from the power socket
during work breaks, when adjusting the tool
(e.g. changing the sanding sheet) and when
it is no longer in use.
■
The tool must always be kept clean, dry and
free from oil or grease.
Original accessories/attachments
■
Use only the additional equipment and acces-
sories specified in the operating instructions.
Using attachments or accessory tools other than
those recommended in the operating instruc-
tions can lead to a risk of injury.
