3. Now connect a suitable dust extraction system (b) to the dust extractor adapter (10).

Connecting the dust extractor hose (Fig. 4 / Item 12)

1. Push the dust extractor hose (12) onto the dust extractor connection (a) as shown in Fig. 4 and lock it by twisting it clockwise.
2. Extraction takes place directly through the abrasive paper and the grinding/sanding disk (8) into the dust bag (11).

Emptying and cleaning the dust bag (Figs. 5/6 / Item 11)

To empty the dust bag (11), pull the clips (c) of the emptying opening (Fig. 5). You can now empty and clean the dust bag (11) via the generously sized opening (Fig. 6). When finished with the emptying and cleaning you must push the clips (c) back into place on the emptying opening (Fig. 5). Then the dust bag can be used again. No more steps are required.

Caution
For health safety reasons you must use a dust extractor.

Warranty certificate

Dear Customer
All of our products undergo strict quality checks to ensure that they reach you in perfect condition. In the unlikely event that this equipment develops a fault, please contact our service department at the address shown on this guarantee card. You can also contact us by telephone using the service number shown. Please note the following terms under which guarantee claims can be made:

These guarantee terms apply solely to consumers, i.e. natural persons, who do not want to use this product in connection with either their commercial or other self-employed activities. These guarantee terms regulate additional guarantee services that the undermentioned manufacturer promises to buyers of its new products in addition to their statutory rights of guarantee. Your statutory rights of guarantee are not affected by this guarantee. Our guarantee is free of charge to you.

The guarantee services cover only defects due to material or manufacturing faults on the new product that you have bought in the European Union from the undermentioned manufacturer and are limited to either the rectification of said defects or the replacement of the product, whichever we prefer. Please note that only equipment under the brand name “Professional” has been designed for use in commercial, trade or professional applications. For all other products, the guarantee is invalidated if the equipment is used within the guarantee period in commercial, trade or industrial applications or for other equivalent activities.

Our guarantee does not cover

• Damage to the equipment caused by failure to comply with the installation/assembly instructions or by unprofessional installation; damage caused by failure to comply with the operating instructions (e.g. connection to the wrong mains voltage or current type); damage caused by failure to comply with the maintenance and safety regulations; damage caused by exposing the equipment to abnormal environmental conditions; damage resulting from poor care and maintenance.
• Damage to the equipment caused by misuse or incorrect applications (e.g. overloading the equipment or using non-approved attachments or accessories); damage caused by foreign bodies (e.g. sand, stones, dust, ….) getting inside the equipment.
• Damage in transit; damage caused by force or external influences (e.g. by dropping the equipment).
• Damage to the equipment or parts of the equipment which is owed to use-related, normal or otherwise natural wear. For example, batteries and battery packs are manufactured with a cycle limit for design-related reasons. Wear is negatively influenced in particular by load demands and charging speeds as well as exposure to heat, cold, vibration and impact.

The guarantee is valid for 2 years starting from the purchase date of the equipment. Guarantee claims must be submitted before the end of the guarantee period and within two weeks of the defect being noticed. No guarantee claims will be accepted after the end of the guarantee period. The original guarantee period remains applicable to the equipment even if repairs are carried out or parts are replaced. In such cases, the work performed or parts fitted will not result in an extension of the guarantee period, and no new guarantee will become active for the work performed or for any replacement parts fitted. This also applies if on-site service is used.

To assert your guarantee claim, register the defective equipment at: www .Einhell-Service.com. You will need to provide proof of purchase of the new item of equipment. Equipment returned without such proof or a rating plate is excluded from the guarantee services because of the lack of traceability. If the defect is covered by our guarantee, then either the item in question will be repaired immediately and returned to you or we will send you a new replacement.

If you have taken the equipment with you to a different EU country than where you bought it, we will arrange for a local service partner to provide the guarantee services. If you take the equipment outside the EU, the guarantee will not apply. Of course, we are also happy to offer a chargeable repair service for any defects which are not covered or are no longer covered by the scope of this guarantee. To take advantage of this service, please send the equipment to our service address. We draw attention to the restrictions of this guarantee concerning worn parts, consumables and missing parts as presented in the service information included in this operating manual.
