Safety Notes
5
poisonous dusts. Dust forming during operation may be haz-
ardous to your health, combustible or explosive. Take neces-
sary precautions.
Secure the workpiece to avoid slipping.
Always lay down the belt sander before the moving parts have
come to complete stop.
When working always hold the machine securely with both
hands by the insulated handle surfaces. It might happen that
the sanding belt strikes the power cord of the machine. Dam-
aging a live wire could result in the metal parts of the machine
also becoming live and could lead to an electric shock. Always
work with the power cord leading away from the rear of the
machine. Avoid contact with the moving sanding belt.
Always switch on the machine before placing it against the
workpiece. After sanding, lift the machine from the workpiece
before switching it off.
When taking a break from your work, before carrying out any
tasks on the machine itself (e.g. changing the sanding belt)
and when you are not using the machine, always pull the
mains plug out of the mains socket.
The unit is designed for operation in altitudes of up to 2000 m
above sea level.
Do not operate the machine if it does not work correctly or has
been dropped. Do not disassemble the machine and do not
try to repair it yourself. Contact your customer support.
