Explosion hazard! Do not work
with the appliance in areas subject to
the risk of explosions or in areas
where flammable liquids, gases or dusts are
located. Electrical hand tools produce sparks
which could ignite the dust or vapours.
Keep children and other unauthorised
personnel at a safe distance when
using electrical hand tools.

Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces,
such as pipes, heaters, stoves and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electrical shock if
your body is earthed.

Important! When using electrical tools, the
following basic safety measures must be followed
to protect against electric shock, injuries and fire
hazards. Read and take note of these operating
instructions and the safety advice contained
therein before using the appliance, and keep
them for future reference. Not following the
instructions listed below can result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
Do not use the power cord for purposes other
than intended, e.g. do not use the cord to carry
the appliance, for hanging it up or for pulling
the plug from the wall socket. Keep the cable
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving
appliance parts. Damaged or tangled cords or
plugs increase the risk of an electric shock.

Check the condition of the appliance, the power
cables and the power plugs on a regular basis.
Check the power cord of the electric tool on
a regular basis and have it replaced by a
recognised specialist if damaged.

Safety Instructions
J
When working outdoors, use only extension
cords which are certified for use outdoors. The
use of an extension cable suitable for employ-
ment outdoors reduces the risk of electrical shock.
Warning! - Never open the appliance.
Arrange for repair or component replacement

specialists for electrical repairs.
this equipment reduces risks caused by dust.
There is a risk of fire when working with electrical
appliances that are equipped with dust bags
or which can be connected to an appropriate
appliance with a dust suction attachment! Under
unfavourable conditions, such as flying sparks,
grinding of metal or metal remnants in wood,
the wood dust in the dust bag (or in the filter
bag of a vacuum cleaner) can ignite. This can
happen especially if the wood dust has paint
particles on it or is mixed with other chemical
substances and the sanded material is hot after
extensive working. Therefore, avoid overheat-
ing both, the part which is being sanded and
the appliance, and always empty the dust bag
or the filter bag of the vacuum before work
pauses.

Safety of Personnel
J
J
J
Always be alert and aware of what you are
doing. Work sensibly with an electrical hand
tool. Do not use the appliance if you are unable
to concentrate or tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. Just a simple
lapse of attention while using an electrical
hand tool is sufficient to lead to serious injuries.
Wear personal protective gear and
Carefull Handling and Use of

always wear safety goggles. De-
pending on the use of the electrical
appliance, wearing personal protective
J
J
J
Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct
electrical tool for your work. With the correct
electrical tool, you will work better and more
safely within the specified performance range.
Never use an electrical tool with a defective
switch. An electrical tool that can no longer be
switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
Pull the plug out of the power socket before mak-
ing adjustments to the appliance, changing ac-
cessories or putting away the appliance. These
precautionary measures prevent accidental
starting of the appliance.
Store unused electrical tools outside the reach
of children. Do not allow persons to operate
the appliance, if they are not familiar with the
use of the tool or if they have not read these
instructions. Electrical tools are dangerous if
used by inexperienced persons.
Take good care of the appliance. Check whether
moving appliance parts are functioning correctly
and do not stick, whether parts are broken or
damaged and that the functioning of the ap-
pliance is not impaired. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the appliance. Many
equipment, such as dust masks, anti-slip safety
shoes, protective gloves, safety helmet, and ear
protection may reduce the risk of injuries.
Avoid accidental start of the appliance. Ensure
the switch is in the "OFF" position before
inserting the plug into the power socket. Never
touch the ON/OFF switch while carrying
the appliance, never switch the appliance on
before connecting it to the power supply - this
may cause an accident.
Do not overestimate yourself. Ensure you position
yourself securely and you are balanced at all
times. This allows much better control over the
appliance, especially in unexpected situations.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Wear a hair net if you
have long hair. Loose clothing and clothing that
is not tight against the body, as well as jewellery
and hair can be caught by moving parts.
Use dust vacuuming and collecting equipment if
these can be attached to the appliance. Please
note that the vacuums used must be suitable
for this special application. The correct use of

accidents are caused by poorly maintained
electrical tools.
J
J
Ensure sufficient ventilation when working on
plastics, paints, lacquers, etc.
Do not soak materials or surfaces to be worked
with liquids containing solvents. Heating during
sanding can give rise to vapours that are toxic
or hazardous to health.
Avoid sanding of lead-based paints or other
materials that are hazardous to health.
Material containing asbestos may not be worked
on. Asbestos is considered a carcinogen.
The appliance is designed for dry surface
sanding of wood, plastic, metal and smoothing
compounds as well as painted surfaces.
Never work on moistened materials or wet
surfaces.
J
Use electrical tools, accessories, aids, etc. in ac-
cordance with these instructions and as directed
for this special appliance type. Take considera-
tion thereby of the working conditions and the
task to be completed. The use of electrical hand
tools for purposes other than those originally
intended can lead to dangerous situations.

When working outdoors, connect the appli-
ance via a residual current circuit-breaker with

setting down the oscillating sander.
J
Always pull the power plug out of the socket
for all work pauses, before any work on the
appliance (e.g. changing the sanding paper)
and when not in use.
J
Never support your hands next to or in front of
the device or on the surface being worked as
there is a risk of injury in the event of slipping.
In case of danger, immediately pull the power
plug from the socket.
J
J
The appliance must always be kept clean, dry
and free of oil or lubricating greases.
Always stay alert! Always pay attention to
what you are doing and act with common
sense. Never use the appliance when you are
distracted or don’t feel well.
J
J
J
Always run the power cord away from the
appliance to the rear.
Fire hazard due to flying sparks!
When sanding metals, there is a risk of flying
sparks. For this reason, always make certain
that no one is at risk and that no flammable
materials are located near the working area.
m Warning! Toxic vapours! Working with
harmful/toxic dusts results in health hazards
for the person operating the appliance and for
other persons in the area.
Service
J
J
Arrange for your appliance to be repaired only
by qualified specialists and only with original
spare parts. Thus, you can be certain that the
safety of your appliance is assured.
Always have the plug or power cord replaced
by the manufacturer of the appliance or the
manufacturer's customer service. Thus, you can
be certain that the safety of your appliance is
assured.
J
J
Wear safety glasses and a dust
protection mask!
When working for extended periods on wood
and, in particular, materials that produce dusts
that are hazardous to health, connect the
appliance to an appropriate external suction
device.
