In the case of voltages and frequencies of different power values may vary.
Refer to the label technical specifications to the nominal values of the tool.
(*) The tool must be connected to a suitable dust extraction system (not supplied).

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 machine.

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.

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 unfavorable conditions, such as a trail of sparks produced while sanding the metal.
Connect the tool to a device suitable dust extraction.

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 6284

 | Sound pressure level [dB(A)]| Uncertainty [dB(A)]| Sound power level [dB(A)]| Vibration level [m/s2]
---|---|---|---|---
3 axis Uncertainty
 | LpA| K| LwA| ah                         K
SSPF| 84| 3| 95| 3.80                      1,5
SSCA| 84| 3| 95| 3.80                      1.0

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!
