The rated speed of the sanding belt must be at least equal to the belt speed in idling marked on the power tool. A sanding belt running faster than its rated speed can break and fly apart. Check prior to each use that the sanding belt is correctly attached and is completely on the rollers. Carry out a trial run: Allow the machine to run at idling speed for 30 seconds in a safe location. Stop immediately if significant vibrations occur or if other defects are noted. If such a situation occurs, check the machine to determine the cause. 5 Overview See page 2. 1 Sanding attachment 2 Rotary knob for securing the sanding attachment and adjusting the belt run 3 Cover 4 Arrow (direction of rotation of drive shaft) 5 Screw for securing the cover 6 Sanding belt 7 Tensioner arm for replacing the sanding belt 8 Sanding head 9 Locking screw for adjusting sanding head 10 Additional handle 11 Sliding switch 12 Adjusting wheel for setting belt speed 6 Scope of delivery The machine is also available with different accessory parts.

Avoid inadvertent starts: always switch the tool off when the plug is removed from the mains socket or if there has been a power cut. In continuous operation, the machine continues running if it is forced out of your hands. Therefore, always hold the machine using the handles provided, stand in a safe position and concentrate. 11 0 7 Initial Operation Before plugging in, check that the rated mains voltage and mains frequency, as stated on the rating label, match with your power supply.
