WARNING!
Before performing any work on the electric power tool, pull out
the mains plug.
NOTE
The connection piece of the
GDE 10
is a new development.If
electric power tools are used with conventional connection
pieces together with the extraction hose of the
GDE 10
, an
adapter from the FLEX accessories programme can be used.
WARNING!
Before performing any work on the electric power tool, pull out
the mains plug.
CAUTION!
–
Connect a class M dust extractor when using the renovation
sander.
–
Using a dust bag that is not suitable for the specific dust
generated by sanding can cause an increase in the amount
of dust particles in the air around the workplace. Over a
prolonged period high concentrations of dust in the air may
damage the human respiratory system.
NOTE
If your dust extractor requires a special connector, the clip-on
connection can be removed and a matching adapter selected
from the FLEX accessories range.
WARNING!
Before performing any work on the electric power tool, pull out
the mains plug.
CAUTION!
Never use the Velcro pad as a sanding tool. Never use the
renovation sander without the sanding sheet, otherwise the
work surface will be seriously damaged!
CAUTION!
Following a power failure, the switched on power tool does not
restart.
