An estimation of the level of exposure to vibra-
tion should also take into account the times
when the tool is switched off or when it is run-
ning but not actually doing the job. This may sig-
nificantly reduce the exposure level over the total
working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the
operator from the effects of vibration such as:
maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the
hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

Dust/Chip Extraction

Dusts from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and metal
can be harmful to one's health. Touching or
breathing-in the dusts can cause allergic reac-
tions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the
user or bystanders.
1 609 929 N22 | (13.12.07)
Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are
considered as carcinogenic, especially in con-
nection with wood-treatment additives (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
– Use dust extraction whenever possible.
– Provide for good ventilation of the working
place.
– It is recommended to wear a P2 filter-class
respirator.
Observe the relevant regulations in your coun-
try for the materials to be worked.
External Dust Extraction (see figure A)
Attach a vacuum hose 7 onto the outlet piece 3.
Connect the vacuum hose 7 with a vacuum clean-
er. An overview for connecting to various vacuum
cleaners can be found at the beginning of these
operating instructions.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detri-
mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
Replacing the Sanding Sheet
(see figure B)
When attaching a new sanding sheet, remove any
dust or debris from the sanding plate 5 (e. g. with
a brush).
To ensure optimum dust extraction, pay atten-
tion that the punched holes in the sanding sheet
match with the holes in the sanding plate.
The sanding plate 5 is fitted with Velcro backing
for quick and easy fastening of sanding sheets
with Velcro adhesion.
Before attaching the sanding sheet 4, free the
Velcro backing of the sanding plate 5 from any
debris by tapping against it in order to enable op-
timum adhesion.
Position the sanding sheet 4 flush alongside one
edge of the sanding plate 5, then lay the sanding
sheet onto the sanding plate and press it against
it with a light turning motion in clockwise direc-
tion.
