Operating instructions
Preliminary notes
The drywall sander is designed for sanding walls and ceilings made of drywall or plaster. The sander
provides a superior finish, and is faster than conventional finishing methods for both new construction
and renovation work. Please clean-up both sander and dust bag regularly.
Work area
•
Keep your work area tidy and well-lit. Untidy work areas or bad lighting invite to injury.
•
Only work with power tools in non-explosion hazard areas (without presence of flammable liquid,
gas, or dust). Power tools create sparks that can ignite dust or vapours.
•
Keep children and other persons away during the use of the power tool. The slightest distraction
can lead to a loss of control of the machine.
•
The plug of the power tool must fit properly into the socket. The plug must not be modified in
any way. Do not use an adapter plug together with earthed power tools. Non-modified plugs
and a proper socket connection reduce the risk of an electrical shock.
•
Avoid bodily contact with earthed surfaces, such as pipes, heaters, ovens, and refrigerators.
There is a higher risk of electrical shock when the body is earthed.
•
Keep the machine away from rain or wet. Intrusion of water into the power tool increases the
risk of an electrical shock.
•
Do not use the cable to carry or hang the power tool, or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep
the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or objects with moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cables increase the risk of an electrical shock.
•
When working with a power tool outdoors, only use extension cords designed for outdoors. The
use of an extension cord designed for outdoor use reduces the risk of electrical shock.
•
If the use of the power tool in a damp area is unavoidable, use a residual current device to
reduce the risk of an electrical shock.
Personal safety
•
Fully concentrate on what you are doing and use caution while working with a power tool. Do
not use a power tool if being tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medicine. The
slightest distraction or inattention can result in serious injury.
•
Wear personal protective equipment and always protective goggles. Wearing personal protec-
tive equipment, such as a dust mask, slip-resistant footwear, protective helmet, or ear protection
(depending on the form or use of the power tool) reduces the risk of injury.
•
Avoid an unintentional starting up. Make sure that the power tool is turned off before it is plugged
into a power source and/or before a battery is attached or before it is carried or picked up. With
your finger being on the “on” switch while you carry the power tool or with the machine being
plugged in while the switch is in the “on” position, serious injury or accidents can result.
•
Remove the adjustment tool or wrench before turning on the power tool. A tool or wrench at a
rotating component of a device can cause serious injury.
•
Do not bend too far over. Make sure to have a secure stance and to be able to maintain balance.
As a result, it will be easier to control the power tool in unexpected situations.
•
Wear proper clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery, or long hair could get caught by the moving
parts.
•
If a dust extractor or receptor can be attached, make sure that such a device is attached and
used properly. Use of a dust extractor can reduce the dangers of dust particles.
Careful handling while using power tools
•
Do not overload the machine. Use the correct tool for the job. Work better and safer with the
correct power tool and within the power capacity range.
