GENERAL WARNINGS
All instructions concerning safety and the prevention of industrial accidents
can be found in file SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS, that forms integral part of this
documentation. This INSTRUCTION MANUAL only contains additional
information that specifically explain how to use the tool.

SPECIFIC USE

This electrical tool is designed to operate as a sander, suitable for dry sanding of wood, plastic, metal, plaster and painted surfaces. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications supplied with this tool. Failure to respect all instructions indicated below can cause an electric shock, fire and/or a serious accident. Grinding, polishing, metal brushing or cutting operations are not recommended with this tool. Failure to follow all the instructions provided below may result in serious injuries.
Do not use accessories that are not specifically designed for the intended use of the tool or that have not been recommended by the manufacturer. The fact that an accessory can be fixed to the tool does not imply that it can be used safely.
The rated speed of accessories must be at least equivalent to the maximum speed of the tool. If operated at a greater speed than the rated one, accessories may break and cause the ejection of chips.
The external diameter and thickness of accessories must be appropriate to guarantee the protection and safety of the tool. Accessories with incorrect dimensions cannot be adequately protected or controlled.
The conformation of the accessories must be correctly adapted to the spindle of the tool. The accessories equipped with holes of the shaft that do not correspond to the assembly components on the tool, will not remain in balance, they will vibrate excessively and can cause a loss of control. Do not use a damaged accessory. If the tool or accessory has suffered a fall, examine any damages or install an accessory that is no damaged. After examining and installing an accessory, all persons present, must keep a safe distance from the rotating accessory and operate the tool at maximum empty speed for one minute. Damaged accessories generally break during this test period.
Use the electric tool only for dry sanding. The use of water or other liquid coolants can cause electrocution or an electric shock.
Do not operate the electrical tool in the proximity of flammable material. The sparks generated by sanding metal material can ignite these materials.
Avoid overheating the material being processed and in sanding.
Before taking a break, always empty the container of dust. The abrasion dust in the dust collection bag or in the dust intake filter can set on fire under unfavourable conditions, such as a trail of sparks produced while sanding the metal.
Connect the tool to a device suitable dust extraction. To protect the health wear masks Use clamps to secure the work piece. Under no circumstances should you hold the work piece with one hand and the electrical tool with the other hand, while it is being used. By securing the work piece with clamps, you can have both hands free to better operate the electrical tool.
INFORMATOIN NOISE / MEAN ACCELERATION VALUE
The tools are suppressed in accordance for the prevention and elimination of radio disturbances measured in accordance with standard: EN 62841

DANGER The indicate measurements refer to new power tools.
Daily usa causes the noise and vibration values to change.
Displayed emission values are comparative and are to be employed for a provisional assessment of the operator’s risk exposure during the work period. Appropriate evaluation of work period must also include tool’s idle and stop periods. These emission values represent the tool’s main applications. If the tool is used for other applications, with other accessories, or if it does not undergo regular maintenance, emission values can significantly increase during operations.
Use hearing protection!

STARTING UP
WARNING Pay attention to the mains voltage! The mains voltage must correspond to the voltage indicated on the technical data identification place (1).
DANGER Before any intervention on the electrical tool take the plug out from the socket
BEFORE STARTING THE TOOL
Before starting-up the tool, ensure that:
– the packaging is complete and does not show signs of having been damaged during storage or transport;
– the tool is complete; check that the number and type of components comply with that reported in this instruction booklet;
– the power supply and socket outlet can support the load reported in the table and that indicated on the tool identification plate reproduced;
– the power supply cable and plug are in perfect condition;
– the ON/OFF (2) switch works properly though with the power supply disconnected;
– all the parts of the tool have been assembled in the proper manner and that there are no signs of damage;
– the ventilation slots are not obstructed;
– the tool must be connected to a suitable and efficient aspiration device.
ASSEMBLING THE TOOL
– Position the heat protection (6) on the gearbox such that the holes for mounting the handle are aligned with those on the gearbox;
– screw in the auxiliairy handle (5); the handle can be mounted on the left or right of the tool body;
– if the tool is to be used without the auxiliary handle, the heat shield must be fixed in place using the screws provided (9).
ASSEMBLY/REPLACEMENT OF THE ABRASIVE PAPER ASSEMBLY:
Press the abrasive paper disc into the pad (10) ensuring that the holes in the paper coincide with extraction holes in the pad.
DISASSEMBLY:
– Used discs can be removed by simply tearing them off;
– new velcro discs are mounted (see “ASSEMBLY”)

SANDING PAD REPLACEMENT

**** Replace damaged sanding pad immediately. Optimal results are achieved only using original accessories. The assembly of a sanding pad with incorrect dimensions can cause excessive vibrations which are not allowed for the machine.
– Unscrew the screws (10) on the disc pad;
– reverse the procedure when fitting the disc pad.
Start the tool and check that there are no unusual vibration, no dispatching movement of the abrasive disc. Otherwise switch-off the tool immediately and eliminate the cause.

STARTING AND STOPPING

– Starting: push the slide of the ON/OFF (2) forward; if the tool is to be locked in the ON position, apply pressure to the front part of the slide switch at the same time.
– Stopping: release the slide ON/OFF (2).
If locked, press the ON/OFF switch in the lower partdownwards and release it in the OFF position.

WARNING: after an interruption of the electrical energy, if the ON/OFF switch is inserted, it is necessary to release the switch (see Stopped).

ELECTRONIC RPM REGULATION

** ER150AES: The rpm can be adjusted by rotating the wheel speed adjustment wheel (3) located on the rear of the tool. The choice of speed depends on the characteristics of the abrasive paper disc and the material to be worked.
ADJUSTING THE DUST EXTRACTION FLOW**
The extraction flow can be adjusted by rotating the control flow adjustment control (4).

ACCESSORIES

EK150AES: Ø 150 mm velcro abrasive paper discs with dust extraction holes.
EK200AS: Ø 200 mm velcro abrasive paper discs with dust extraction holes.
