SWITCHING ON AND OFF (FIG. H)
WARNING:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch

DUST COLLECTION
WARNING:
To prevent accidental operation, turn off and unplug sander
before installing the dust bag (8) or deector (9).
WARNING:
Fire hazard. Collected sanding dust from sanding surface
coatings (polyurethane, linseed oil, etc.) can self-ignite in sander dust bag or
elsewhere and cause re. To reduce risk, empty bag frequently and strictly follow
sander manual and coating manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING:
Fire hazard. When sanding wood that could contain nails or when
sanding metal surfaces, do not use the dust bag (8) or a vacuum cleaner because
sparks are generated. Instead attach the deector (9) with the open area facing
away from your body. Wear safety glasses and a dust mask. Due to the danger of fire,
do not use your sander to sand magnesium surfaces. Do not use for wet sanding.
EMPTYING THE DUSTBAG (FIG. E)
