We, being solely responsible, hereby declare that

directives specified on page 3.
The band file is used for dry sanding, deburring and
polishing metals, wood, materials similar to wood,
plastics and construction materials.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by improper use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.

WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety

documentation.
For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
Hold the tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces. Damage to a "live" wire may energise
metal parts of the power tool and cause an electric
shock.
Flying sparks are created when sanding metal.
Ensure that no persons are in danger. Due to the
risk of fire, all combustible materials must be
removed from the work area (area affected by flying
sparks).
Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may
cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases
to the operator or bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic
such as oak and beech dust especially in
conjunction with additives for wood conditioning
(chromate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is
recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health must not be processed.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
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.

The rated speed of the sanding belt must be at least
equal to the belt speed in idling marked on the

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.
