We, being solely responsible: Hereby declare that
these long-neck sanders, identified by type and
serial number *1), meet all relevant requirements of
directives *2) and standards *3). Technical
documents for *4) - see page 3.
The machine is designed for professional use for
polishing smoothed drywalls, ceilings and walls
inside and outside, as well as for removing
wallpaper residue, paint, coatings, adhesive
residue and loose plaster.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by inappropriate use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.
For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. Pass on your electrical tool only
together with these documents.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the sanding surface may
contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, changing tools, carrying out
maintenance or cleaning.
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the
help of clamping devices.
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Wear ear protectors when working for long
periods of time. High noise levels over a
prolonged period of time may affect your hearing.
Tightly hold the machine with both hands at the
handles (13), (8) provided.
Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the tool off
when the plug is removed from the mains socket or
if there has been a power cut.
Always work with the grinding media attached.
Do not block the backing pad in order to prevent any
overload to the machine. Do not use force to press
the backing pad onto the working surface.
LED lights (9): Do not look directly into the LED
beam.
Do not direct the light beam into the eyes of
people or animals.
Reducing dust exposure:
Some of the particles generated using this
power tool may contain substances known to
cause cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory
diseases, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some of these substances include: Lead (in paint
containing lead), mineral dust (from bricks,
concrete etc.), additives used for wood treatment
(chromate, wood preservatives), some wood types
(such as oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substance will
depends on how long you or bystanders are being
exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
Do the following to reduce exposure to these
substances: Ensure good ventilation of the
workplace and wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as respirators able to filter
microscopically small particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use only suitable accessories. In this way, fewer
particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled
manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.
