sheets extending beyond the grinding wheel pres-
ent a laceration hazard and may cause snagging,
tearing of the sheet or kickback.
Additional safety instructions
a)
Connect a vacuum cleaner to the supplied
adapter before starting your operations.
b)
ATTENTION! Keep away sanding dust from open
fire. Dust may be explosive.
c)
Always wear safety goggles and a dust protec-
tion mask when sanding, in particular during
overhead work and when processing critical
materials!
When sanding certain materials (e. g. lead paint,
certain types of wood and metal) harmful or nox-
ious dust may be generated.
Touching or breathing in such dust may imply risks
for the operator or bystanders.
Notes regarding vibration and noise emissions
Keep the noise level and vibration to a minimum!

sidual risks still remain. The following hazards may
arise in connection with the design and construction
of this power tool:
a)
Damage to health resulting from hand/arm vibra-
tion if the device is used over an extended pe-
riod of time or if it is not properly operated and
maintained.
b)

rectly after use and/or with your bare skin.
m WARNING
This product generates an electromagnetic field during
operation. This field can impair active or passive med-
ical implants under certain circumstances. In order to
prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we rec-
ommend that persons with medical implants consult
with their physician and the manufacturer of the med-
ical implant prior to operating the product.
8. Assembly and commissioning
8.1
Fitting the product (Fig. 2, 3)
1.
Fold the front and rear sections together (Fig. 2).
2.
Tighten the wing nut (8). (Fig. 3).
8.2
Assembling the suction pipe extension (3)
(Fig. 4)
1.
Insert the suction pipe extension (3) into the suc-
tion connection (5a).
2.
Lock the suction pipe extension (3) as shown in
Fig. 4. (Fig. 4)
Note: Adjust the product with the suction pipe exten-
sion (3) so that you can work with it comfortably. The
product can also be used without the suction pipe ex-
tension (3).
8.3
Selecting sandpaper (11a)
• The grain of the sandpaper (11a) is indicated on the
back. The smaller the number indicated, the coarser
the grain.
• Use coarse grain sandpaper for rough sanding and
fine grain sandpaper for finishing. Sandpapers with
aluminium oxide, silicon carbide or other synthetic
abrasives are recommended.
• Start with a coarse grain and finish with the finest grain
if you have sandpaper with different grains to choose
from to achieve a good, smooth sanding result.
8.4
Attaching and replacing sandpaper (11a) (Fig. 5)
1.
Secure the sandpaper (11a) to the grinding disc
(11b) with the Velcro backing.
2.
Align the sandpaper (11a) with the grinding disc
(11b) and press it on evenly.
3.
Remove the sandpaper (11a) from the grinding
disc (11b) to replace it with a new/different one.
8.5
Brush edge (Fig. 5)
The grinding disc (11b) of this product is surrounded by
a brush rim (11c). This offers two advantages:
• The brush edge (11c) protrudes beyond the grind-
ing disc (11b) and initially rests on the surface to
be machined. As a result, the grinding disc (11b) is
brought parallel to the working surface before the
tool attachment comes into contact with the surface
to be sanded. This prevents crescent-shaped inden-
tations caused by the edge of the grinding wheel.
