Wear protective gloves.
Always wear protective goggles.
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with
the help of clamping devices.
Always guide the machine with both hands on the
handles provided. Loss of control can cause
personal injury.
Never place your hand near rotating parts of the
device or near the rotating sanding belt.
Remove sanding dust and similar material only
when the machine is not in operation.
Remove the battery pack from the machine before
any adjustments, conversions or servicing are
performed.
Before fitting the battery pack, make sure that the
machine is switched off.
The rated speed of the sanding belt must be at

the power tool. A sanding belt running faster than
its rated speed can break and fly apart.
Check prior to each use that the sanding belt is
correctly attached and is completely on the rollers.
Carry out a trial run: Allow the machine to run at
idling speed for 30 seconds in a safe location. Stop
immediately if significant vibrations occur or if
other defects are noted. If such a situation occurs,
check the machine to determine the cause.
