Electrical connection and operation
The mains voltage must correspond with the voltage
on the rating plate!
Always switch the machine off
before connecting or disconnecting the power
cable!
Risk of burns! Heating of the Plug
it connection if bayonet fi tting is not completely
locked!
Before switching on the power tool, make
sure that the bayonet fi tting at the mains cable is
closed fully and locked.
See the adjacent fi gure for connection and dis-
connection of the power cord.
Switch
[2-1]
is an on/off switch. For continuous use
it can be engaged with the lateral locking button
[2-2]
. Pressing the switch again releases the lock.
Extension cord
If an extension cord is required, it must have suf-
fi cient cross-section to prevent an excessive drop
in voltage or overheating. An excessive drop in volt-
age reduces the output and can lead to failure of
the motor. The table below shows you the correct
cord diameter as a function of the cord length for
the ETS 150/3 EQ, ETS 150/5 EQ.

Use only U.L. and CSA listed extension cords. Never
use two extension cords together. Instead, use one
long one.
Note:
The lower the AWG number, the stronger the
cord.
Tool settings
Always remove the power plug
from the socket before carrying out any work on
the power tool.
Electronic control
You can regulate the speed steplessly between 6000
and 10500 rpm using the adjusting wheel
[2-3]
.
This lets you optimize the sanding speed to suit the
material (see "Working with the tool").

The sanders are designed for sanding wood, plastic,
composite materials, paint / varnish, fi lling material
and similar materials.
Metal and materials with an asbestos content must
not be processed with these tools.
The user bears sole responsi-
bility for any damage or accidents resulting from
