[. . . ] 3) Personal safety a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. [. . . ] , when sparks emit from sanding metals, sanding debris in the dust bag, micro filter or paper sack (or in the filter sack or filter of the vacuum cleaner) can self-ignite. Particularly when mixed with remainders of varnish, polyurethane or other chemical materials and when the sanding debris is hot after long periods of working. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable is damaged while working. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The machine is intended for dry sanding of wood, plastic, filler and coated surfaces.

Typically the A-weighted noise levels of the product are: Sound pressure level 84 dB(A); Sound power level 95 dB(A). 16 | English The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. the declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly 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. 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 reactions and/or lead to respiratory infections of the user or bystanders. Certain dusts, such as oak or beech dust, are considered as carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood-treatment additives (chromate, wood preservative). Integrated Dust Extraction with Dust Box(see figures C1­C4) Attach the dust box 3 onto the extraction outlet 7 until it latches. Before opening the dust box 3, it is recommended to loosen the dust from the filter element by gently striking it against a firm support (as shown in the figure). Grasp the dust box 3 by the recessed grip, fold the filter element 8 upward and empty the dust box. [. . . ] Pay attention to apply uniform sanding pressure; this increases the working life of the sanding sheets. Intensifiying the sanding pressure does not lead to an increase of the sanding capacity, but to increased wear of the machine and the sanding sheet. A sanding sheet that has been used for metal should not be used for other materials. The voltage of the power source must agree with the voltage specified on the nameplate of the machine. [. . . ]
