Specific Safety Rules - Makita 9046 Betriebsanleitung

18. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or the battery pack from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
19. Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
20. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
21. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
22. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions and in
the manner intended for the particular type of
power tool, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
23. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
24. Follow instruction for lubricating and changing
accessories.
25. Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to sander safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or
incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Hold power tools by insulated gripping surfaces
when performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed
metal parts of the tool "live" and shock the oper-
ator.
2. Always use safety glasses or goggles. Ordinary
eye or sun glasses are NOT safety glasses.
3. Hold the tool firmly.
4. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
5. This tool has not been waterproofed, so do not
use water on the workpiece surface.
6. Ventilate your work area adequately when you
perform sanding operations.
7. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent working dust inha-
lation and skin contact. Follow material supplier
safety data.
8. Use of this tool to sand some products, paints
and wood could expose user to dust containing
hazardous substances. Use appropriate respira-
tory protection.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Installing or removing the abrasive paper
Important:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before installing or removing the paper.
When using the conventional type of abrasive paper
(standard equipment) (Fig. 1 & 2):
Turn the clamp lever counterclockwise. Insert the
paper end into the clamper, aligning the holes in the
paper with those in the pad. Then return the clamp
lever to the original position to secure the paper.
Repeat the same process for the other end of the
tool, maintaining the proper paper tension.
When using the velcro type of abrasive paper
(optional accessory) (Fig. 3):
Remove all dirt or foreign matter from the pad. Attach
the paper to the pad, aligning the holes in the paper
with those in the pad.
CAUTION:
Always use velcro type of abrasive papers. Never use
pressure-sensitive abrasive papers.
Dust bag (Fig. 4)
To install the dust bag, align the z mark on the bag's
entry port with the y mark on the dust spout of the
GEB021-1 tool and fit the entry port onto the dust spout. Then
turn the dust bag clockwise to secure it in place. For
the best results, empty the dust bag when it becomes
about half full. To remove the dust bag, follow the
installation procedures in reverse.
Paper dust bag
To install the paper dust bag, place the paper dust
bag on the paper dust bag holder with its front side
upward. Insert the front fixing cardboard of the paper
dust bag into the groove of the paper dust bag holder.
(Fig. 5)
Then press the upper part of the front fixing card-
board in arrow direction to hook it onto the claws.
(Fig. 6)
Insert the notch of the paper dust bag into the guide of
the paper dust bag holder. Then install the paper dust
bag holder set on the tool. (Fig. 7 & 8)
Note:
If you connect a Makita dust collector to your sander,
more efficient and cleaner operations can be per-
formed.
