WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
always secure work to prevent it from
being thrown back towards the user.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury,
make sure the sander is not resting
on the workpiece when the switch is
turned on.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of injury,
check to see that the belt guard (l) is in
place, secured and working correctly.
WARNING:
• Make sure all materials to be sanded
are well secured.
• Apply only a gentle pressure to the
workpiece. Excessive pressure does
not improve the sanding effect, but
only results in an increased load on the
machine and causes the abrasive to
tear.
• Avoid overloading.
WARNING: Do not sand magnesium!
Proper Hand Position (fi g. 6)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of
serious personal injury, ALWAYS use
proper hand position as shown.

position would be to have one hand on the rubber
portion of the body. If greater stability or pressure is
needed, the other hand can grip the front handle (b).
