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)

tions attached to the battery charger)
