Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.

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 origi-
nal position to secure the paper. Repeat the same pro-
cess for the other end of the tool, maintaining the proper
paper tension.
When using the velcro type of abrasive paper (optional
GEB021-1
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
entry port with the y mark on the dust spout of the 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 proce-
dures in reverse.
