Dear Customers,
Instruction manuals provide valuable hints for using your new device. They enable you to use all functions, and they help you avoid misunderstandings and prevent damage. Please take the time to read this manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
Observe the safety instructions starting on page 16.

5. Set speed
6. Attach dust bag
7. Change sanding belt
8. Adjusting the sanding belt guide

After inserting a new sanding belt, the sanding belt will not run perfectly straight. Check the straight run by running the belt sander at low speed in the air. Use the adjustment wheel of the sanding belt guide to adjust the straight run so that the sanding belt does not run over the open side. If the abrasive belt runs against the closed side, the running noise changes audibly. In this case, adjust in the opposite direction to prevent increased wear of the abrasive belt.

Safety notes

Please note the included General Safety Notes and the following safety notes to avoid malfunctions, damage or physical injury:

• Please read these operating instructions carefully and use the unit only in accordance with these instructions .
• Use protective equipment including safety goggles and hearing protection when operating the unit. If operation of the unit causes discomfort, stop work immediately and investigate the cause.
• Dispose of unused packaging material or store it in a place inaccessible to children. There is a danger of suffocation!
• Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities must not use the appliance unless they are supervised and instructed by a carer.
• Before switching on the grinder, make sure that the locking button is not activated. Accidental starting of the grinder can cause serious injury.
• Only use the unit for dry grinding. Do not work on wet materials or damp surfaces. The grinder is not suitable for wet grinding work. Do not use the appliance for any other purpose.
• Do not use abrasives with precision-moulded ceramic grain. There is a risk of electric shock.
• Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sanding. Wear suitable clothing. Take off jewellery and tie up long hair before working. Wear ear protection.
• Use the dust collection bag when sanding non-metallic materials, especially when working on materials that produce dust that is hazardous to health.
• Do not use the dust collection bag when machining metallic workpie- ces. Using the dust collection bag when machining metal creates a fire hazard that can damage the tool and cause serious injury.
• Ensure adequate ventilation when machining plastics, paints, varnishes, etc. Material containing asbestos must not be machined. Harmful/toxic dusts are produced when sanding e.g. lead-containing paints, some types of wood and metals. Dust and chips produced can be hazardous to health, flammable or explosive. Take appropriate protective measures.
• Empty the dust collection bag regularly. Dust from certain substances and coatings, e.g. polyurethanes or linseed oil, tend to self-ignite. Therefore, always empty the dust collection bag before storing the grinder. Also follow the instructions of the coating manufacturer.
• Secure the workpiece against slipping away.
• Always guide the unit with the power on against the workpiece. After machining, lift the unit off the workpiece and only then switch it off.
• Always remove the battery from the unit during breaks, before carrying out any work on the unit (e.g. changing the abrasive belt) and when not in use.
• The unit is designed for use up to 2000 m above sea level.
• Do not use the appliance if it is not working correctly or has been damaged by falling. Do not disassemble the unit or attempt to repair it yourself.
• Periodically check all bolts, nuts and other fasteners for tightness and tighten as necessary.
• Have your power tool repaired only by qualified personnel and only with original spare parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
