• This machine may only be operated indoors.
• Important:Mount and use the machine on a horizon-
tal surface. A non-horizontal surface can damage the
motor.
• If the machine tends to tilt or walk (especially when
sanding long and heavy panels), it must be fastened
to a solid surface of sufficient carrying force.
• Make sure the sanding belt runs in the correct direc-
tion. See arrows at the back of the belt.
• Make sure the sanding belt is running correctly so that
it cannot come off the drive pulleys.
• Make sure the sanding belt is not twisted or loose.
• Firmly hold the workpiece when sanding.
• Always use the stop when using the sander in hori-
zontal position.
• Always hold the workpiece firmly to the table when
using the disc sander.
• Always hold the workpiece to the side of the sand-
ing disc running downwards, in order to maintain
the workpiece pressed to the table. By using the up-
ward-running side of the sanding disc, the workpiece
could be ejected and cause injury to persons.
• Always keep a minimum distance of about 2 mm or
less between the table or stop and the sanding belt
or disc.
• Do not wear gloves. Do not hold the workpiece with a
cloth during sanding.
• Use sanding belt or disc of the correct grit corre-
sponding with the wood.
• Never sand workpieces too small to be held safely.
• Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause your hand to touch the sanding belt or
disc.
• When sanding a large piece of material, provide an
additional support at table height.
• Never sand an unsupported workpiece. Secure the
workpiece with the table or the stop. Exceptions are
the sanding of curved workpieces on the outside of
the sanding disc.
• Always clear the table, fence or sanding belt of scraps
or other objects, before turning the machine on.
• Do not perform any layout assembly or set-up work
on the table while the sander is in operation.
• Switch the machine off and pull the power plug from
the socket when fitting or removing accessories.
• Never leave the working area of the sander while the
tool is running, or as long as it has not come to an
absolute standstill.

• Always place the workpiece on the sanding table
or position it firmly against the sanding stop. Place
curved tools securely on the table when sanding on
the sanding disc.
• Always ensure that the belt and disc grinder are sta-
ble and secured (e.g. fastened to a workbench).
• Before each use, check the grinding disc and grinding
belt for damage.
• Replace worn or damaged grinding discs and grind-
ing belts immediately.
• Always use the protective cover and the workpiece
support as required for the insert tools.
• Always use the power tool with insert tools on both
spindles to limit the risk of contact with the rotating
spindle.
6. Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state-of-
the-art and the recognised technical safety require-
ments. However, individual residual risks can arise
during operation.
• Risk of injury for fingers and hands due to the rotat-
ing sanding disc with improper guiding or positioning
of the tool to be sanded.
• Risk of injury from tools thrown away due to improp-
er holding or guiding.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use
of improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety infor-
mation" and the "Proper use" together with the oper-
ating manual as a whole are observed.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the op-
erating button may not be pressed when inserting
the plug in an outlet. Use the tool attachment that
is recommended in this operating manual. This is
how to ensure that your machine provides optimum
performance.
• Keep your hands away from the work area, when the
machine is in operation.
