Service
The sander may only be serviced by qualified personnel using identical spare parts. This ensures that the
sander remains safe to use.
Special safety instructions
• WARNING! Learn about the sheet sander. Read and absorb the contents of these operating
instructions before connecting the sander. Users must be aware of the areas of use and limitations of
the sander, as well as the risks that the sander can pose. In this way, the risk of electrical shock, fire
and serious injury can be mitigated.
• Always use protective goggles that conform to the requirements of applicable safety standards. When
using power tools, there is always a danger of foreign objects flying off and hitting the eyes of the
user or those standing close by and causing permanent injury.
• Always use a dust mask when sanding.
• Always use ear defenders when sanding, particularly if you are going to work for long periods without
interruption.
• Always disconnect the sander from the mains before changing the sanding pad and prior to cleaning.
• Do not use gloves, wear ties or loose clothing.
• Secure the workpiece. Use a vice or clamps to secure the workpiece if appropriate. This is safer than
holding it with your hand and allows you to operate the sander with both hands.
• A workpiece that is too small to be secured safely must not be sanded using the machine.
• Always check that the area to be sanded does not contain nails or other foreign objects.
• Keep your hands away from the sanding pad. Avoid placing your hands where there is a chance that
they may come into the path of the sanding pad should the sander suddenly jerk or slide
uncontrollably.
• Avoid damage caused by accidental starts by always disconnecting the plug from the mains socket
before fitting or removing sandpaper or the dust collector.
• Keep the extension cable away from the work area. Position the extension cable so that it cannot
become entangled in the workpiece, sander or other obstacle when working with the sander.
• If an extension cable is to be used, it must be in good condition. In addition, also ensure that the
extension cable has a sufficiently large capacity (cable area) for the current used by the sander.
Extension cables with an inadequate cable area deliver insufficient voltage, which leads to lower
output and overheating.
• The table below shows the appropriate cable area based on cable length and the current strength
specified on the type plate. If in doubt: choose the biggest cable area. The lower the number, the
greater the capacity of the cable.
• Make sure the extension cable is correctly connected and is in good condition. Replace damaged
extension cables or get an electrician to repair them prior to use. Protect extension cables from sharp
objects, excessive heat, steam and damp areas.
