2. Electrical Safety

• Ensure plugs match outlets; do not modify plugs.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces (pipes, radiators).
• Keep tools away from rain or wet conditions.
• Do not abuse the cord; keep it away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts.
• Use outdoor-suitable extension cords for outdoor work.
• Use RCD protection in damp locations.

3. Personal Safety

• Stay alert, use common sense, do not use when tired or under the influence of drugs/alcohol/medication.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (eye protection, dust mask, safety shoes, etc.).

Appliance-Specific Safety Instructions

WARNING! TOXIC DUSTS!

• Working with the tool can produce harmful/toxic dusts.
• Avoid sanding lead paint or other harmful materials.
• Do not process asbestos-containing materials. Wear safety goggles and a protective dust mask.
• Secure the workpiece with a clamping device or vice.
• Do not place hands near the tool or the working area.
• Route the power cord away from the tool.
• Ensure no one is endangered by flying sparks; remove flammable materials. Sanding metal creates sparks.

CAUTION! RISK OF FIRE!

• Avoid overheating the material and the grinder.
• Always empty the dust collector before breaks. Grinding dust can ignite under certain conditions (e.g., flying sparks, chemical residues).
• For extended work or hazardous dusts, connect to an external dust extraction tool. Wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation when working on plastics, paints, lacquers.
• Use the tool only for dry sanding.
• Switch the tool ON before applying it to the workpiece and OFF after lifting it from the workpiece.
• Allow the tool to come to a complete standstill before putting it down.
• Keep the tool clean, dry, and free from oil or grease.
• Keep the work area clean; material mixtures can be dangerous.

Original Accessories/Attachments

• Use only specified accessories. Using unauthorized accessories may lead to injury.

Before Use

Selecting a Sanding Sheet

The material removal rate and surface quality depend on the grit of the sanding sheet. Use appropriate grit for different materials.

Changing Sanding Sheets

The sander features a Velcro system for quick and easy sheet changes. To remove, lift the sanding sheet (4) from the sanding pad (3). Before fitting a new sheet, clean the sanding pad. Ensure the holes on the sheet align with the pad's holes.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Refer to the "Safety Information" section. For dust collection, push the dust collector (2) onto the appliance. To empty, pull it off. For optimal extraction, empty the dust collector regularly by opening it and removing the dust bag.

External Extraction

Connect a vacuum cleaner hose to the exhaust nozzle (6). Use the adapter (7) if needed. To remove, pull the hose off the nozzle or adapter.

Use

Switching On and Off

Always switch the sander ON before contacting the workpiece. You can choose between instantaneous and continuous operation.

• Switching On: Push the ON/OFF switch (1) forward.
• Switching Off: Push the ON/OFF switch (1) backward.

Speed Preselection

Select the required speed using the speed control (5), from Level 1 (low speed) to Level 6 (high speed).

Working Procedures

Wait for the tool to stop completely before setting it down.

Sanding Surfaces

Turn the tool ON, place the entire sanding surface onto the material, and move it with moderate pressure. The removal rate and sanding pattern are determined by the sanding sheet and contact pressure. Ensure even pressure; excessive pressure increases wear without improving efficiency. Do not use sanding sheets that have been used for metal on other materials.

Maintenance and Cleaning

The random orbital sander is maintenance-free. Clean the tool immediately after use with a dry cloth. Do not use fuel, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Keep ventilation openings clear. Remove any adhering grinding dust with a brush.

Disposal

Packaging is made from environmentally friendly materials and can be recycled. Do not dispose of power tools in household waste. Follow European Directive 2012/19/EU for WEEE. Consult local authorities for disposal information.
