The following pictograms are used in these
instructions for use:
Denotes risk of personal injury, loss
of life or damage to the tool in case
of non-observance of the instructions
in this manual.

5.1 Special safety instructions
• Compare the maximum number of revo
-
lutions allowed of the accessories with the
number of revolutions of the machine.
• When you put the machine away the engine
must be switched off and moving parts must
have reached a standstill.
• Never attach an assembly spanner to your
machine with a piece of string or anything
similar.
• Do not use sandpaper intended for larger
sanding pads. Larger sandpaper will extend
beyond the sanding pad causing snagging,
tearing of the paper or kick-back. Extra paper
extending beyond the sanding pad can also
cause serious lacerations.
• Use a clamping device for securing the work
piece.
• Keep your hands away from the work piece.
5.2 Electrical safety
When using electric machines always observe
the safety regulations applicable in your coun-
try to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury. Read the following safety
instructions and also the enclosed safety
instructions. Keep these instructions in a safe
place!
Always check that the power supply
corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
The machine is double insulated;
therefore no earth wire is required.
Replacing cables or plugs
If the mains cable becomes damaged, it must be
replaced with a special mains cable available
from the manufacturer or the manufacturer’s
customer service. Dispose of old cables or
plugs immediately after replacing them with
new ones. It is dangerous to connect the plug
of a loose cable to a socket.
6. ASSEMBLY AND OPERATION
6.1 Mounting accessories
For saw blades, scrapers and disc cutters and
cutting discs use the clamping screw in combi-
nation with the retaining ring.
• Remove the clamping screw using an Allen
key.
• Replace the tool and tighten it using the
clamping screw. Check that the tool is secure
in the chuck and that the machine is correctly
secured and supported.
6.2 Fitting/replacing sandpaper
Using velcro system.
• Place the sandpaper in the middle of the san
-
ding disc and press it firmly with your hand.
• Press the sandpaper firmly onto the plate with
brief, firm pressure and then switch on the
machine. This ensures that the disc is cor-
rectly secured and prevents excessive wear.

you can remove it, turn it 120° and refit it or
replace it.
