TRANSPORT
Always use the packaging or case (when provi-
ded) when transporting the tool; this will protect
it from impact, dust and humidity which can
compromise normal operation.
During transport, remove the abrasive disc,
brush, etc. from the machine.
HANDLING
Firmly grasp the handgrip (Fig.A, 2) without
using the switch; keep the tool well away from
your body and after use place it down gently
without hitting.
SWITCHING ON
When choosing where to use the power tool, the
following should be considered:
- that the place is not damp and is protected
from the weather.
- that there is a large working area free from
obstacles.
- that there is good lighting.
- that it is used close to the main switch with
residual current device.
- that the power supply system is earthed and
conforms to the standards (only if the power
tool is class I, which is equipped with an earth
cable plug).
- that the room temperature is between 10°
and 35°C.
- that the environment is not in a flammable/
explosive atmosphere.
Take out the machine and components and
visually check that they are perfectly intact; then
proceed to thoroughly clean them in order to
remove any protective oils from metal surfaces.
Fastening of abrasive sheets (Fig.E)
The abrasive sheet is applied by exerting a slight
pressure on the velcro, replacing it by pulling it.
Dust bag assembly (Fig.D)
The graft is bayonet. Follow the figure.
CHARGING THE BATTERY (follow the instruc-
tions attached to the battery charger)
!
WARNING! Before using the apparatus it is
necessary to fully charge the battery.
!
WARNING! Recharge only with a battery
charger designed for this type of tool. An
inappropriate battery charger can cause a
fire hazard when used with other battery units.
To keep the battery in good working order, do
not discharge it completely.
Fully charge the battery:
- After each use.
- At least every 4 months, even if not used.
- If while working you notice a clear drop in the
performance of the tool.
INSERTING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY
(Fig. C)
- Insert the battery through the guides in the
battery compartment (1).
- Take out the battery from its housing in the tool
by operating the release device (8).
STARTING AND STOPPING
!
WARNING! Before starting the electric tool,
it is mandatory to wear the personal protective
equipment (not included).
!
WARNING! Before starting and during the
work phase, grasp the tool firmly with both
hands without ever leaving the socket, so that,
in case of danger, you can stop it immediately.
!
WARNING! During use, make sure that
nobody approaches your work area.
!
WARNING! Before connecting the battery
to the power tool, make sure that the switch
is in the OFF position (“0”).
STARTING
1) Insert the charged battery into the housing of
the appliance (Fig.A, 1).
2) Grasp the tool using both handles (Fig.A, 2)
3) To start the tool, move the switch button
(Fig.A, 3) to ON (“I”).
STOPPING
To stop the tool, move the switch (Fig. A, 3) to
OFF (“0”) keeping the tool firmly in place.
We recommend that you repeat these steps a
few times before starting work so as to become
as familiar with the commands as possible.
If you observe malfunctions, turn off the tool
electric and consult the chapter “Problems,
causes and remedies”.
When not working, switch off and unplug the
battery from the tool.
