Noise and Vibration
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to
ISO 28927-3. The figures given can be used to compare similar tools tested
to this standard. These figures may be used to assess exposure to noise
and vibration levels.
The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working condition.
A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled or misused tool may produce
increased levels of noise and vibration. The total working period that
you can operate this tool must factor in periods where the tool is idle or
switched off. Allow frequent rest breaks when operating this tool.
It is in the interest of users to maximise their safety using the correct safety
equipment, like ear defenders that protect against loud or repetitive noise,
and anti-vibration gloves that minimise vibration. Do not operate the tool
with your hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will
have a greater effect.
Sound
The noise directive was introduced to protect against the risk to health and
safety arising or likely to arise from exposure to noise and risk of hearing.
The Directive can be used to define noise exposure and the physical
parameters, such as peak sound pressure and daily and weekly exposure
level. Particular attention should be taken to exposure level and duration.
For more information on the Noise Directives 2003/10/EC and 2000/14/EC,
please visit The European Agency for Safety and Health at work -
www.osha.europa.eu.
Vibration
The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive 2002/44/EC was
introduced to control the exposure of vibration at work. The Directive
enables users of tools to make informed decisions on the amount of time
spent working. Those who regularly operate high vibration equipment over a
sustained period of time are at a higher risk of health problems. ISO 289273 measures vibration in three directions which is known as tri-axial or
vector sum measurement. When operating high vibration equipment, ensure
not to exceed exposure levels. For more details on The Vibration Directive
2002/44/EC please visit The European Agency for Safety and Health at work

Additional Safety Instructions for
Pneumatic Power Tools
Air under pressure can cause severe injury:
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool
from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when
making repairs
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or
loose hoses and fittings
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used,
lock pins should be installed and whipcheck safety cables should
be used to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose
connection failure
• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry an air tool by the hose
Sanding Tool Safety
• Always wear appropriate protective equipment, including a dust mask
with a minimum FFP2 rating, safety goggles and ear defenders.
• Ensure all people in the vicinity of the work area are also equipped with
suitable personal protective equipment
• Take special care when sanding some woods (such as beech,
oak, mahogany and teak), as the dust produced is toxic and can cause
extreme reactions
• Do not sand magnesium or alloys containing a high percentage
of magnesium
• Be aware of paint finishes or treatments that may have been applied to
the material that is being sanded. Many treatments can create dust that
is toxic, or otherwise harmful. If working on a building constructed prior
to 1960, there is an increased chance of encountering lead-based paints
• The dust produced when sanding lead-based paints is particularly
hazardous to children, pregnant women, and people with high blood
pressure. Do not allow these people near to the work area, even if
wearing appropriate personal protective equipment
• Whenever possible, use a vacuum dust extraction system to control dust
and waste
• Be especially careful when using a machine for both wood and metal
sanding. Sparks from metal can easily ignite wood dust. Always clean
your machine thoroughly to reduce the risk of fire
• Work surfaces and sandpaper can become very hot during use, if there
is evidence of burning (smoke or ash), from the work surface, stop and
allow the material to cool. Do not touch work surface or sandpaper until
they have had time to cool
• Do not touch the moving sanding disc
• Always switch off before you put the sander down
• Always disconnect the sander from the air supply before changing or
replacing sanding discs
• Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate
all residual risk factors. If you are in any doubt as to safe use of this tool,
do not use it

1. In fixed orbit, the Drive Spindle (8) and Backing Pad (6) do not rotate
freely around their axis
2. To select fixed orbit, rotate the Spindle Lock (7) so that the knurled
face lines up with the flat on the Drive Spindle (8), see Fig. B
3. Check that the Drive Spindle (8) cannot rotate fully, it should stop when
it touches the Spindle Lock (7)
Random orbit: The sanding pad orbits around its eccentric path. It creates
a random sanding pattern in all directions on the sanded material.
1. In random orbit, the Drive Spindle (8) and Backing Pad (6) can rotate
freely and fully around their axis
2. To select random orbit, rotate the Spindle Lock (7) so that one flat side
faces the Drive Spindle (8), see Fig. A
3. Check the Drive Spindle (8) is able to rotate fully through 360°,
and does not touch the Spindle Lock (7)
Operation
Note: It is advised that you practice using this tool on a piece of scrap
wood. Try it in both orbital modes (see ‘Changing orbital mode’) to
familiarise yourself with each.

pour diminuer les effets vibratoires. Ne pas utilisez cet appareil avec vos
mains sous des conditions en dessous de températures normales,
car l’effet vibratoire en est accentué.
Le niveau sonore
La directive sur les émissions sonores a été introduite pour protéger contre
les risques sur la santé, améliorer la sécurité et prévenir les risques de
pertes auditives par l’exposition aux émissions sonores. Cette directive peut
être utilisée pour définir l’exposition sonore et les paramètres physiques,
tels que les niveaux de pression acoustique, les niveaux quotidiens et
hebdomadaires d’exposition. Une attention particulière doit être portée au
niveau d’exposition et de la durée. Pour plus d’informations sur la directive
des émissions sonores 2003/10/CE et 2000/14/CE,
visitez le site http://osha.europa.eu/fr
Le niveau vibratoire
La directive relative à l’exposition des travailleurs aux risques dus aux
agents physiques 2002/44/CE a été introduite pour contrôler l’exposition
aux vibrations au travail. Cette directive permet aux utilisateurs d’évaluer la
durée d’utilisation de l’appareil. Les personnes utilisant des équipements à
effet vibratoire élevé pendant de longues périodes sont plus exposées aux
risques sur la santé. La norme ISO 28927 – 3 mesure les vibrations selon
trois axes, par la somme vectorielle triaxiale. Lors de l’utilisation d’appareil
à haut effet vibratoire, assurez-vous de ne pas dépasser les niveaux
d’expositions. Pour plus d’informations sur la directive à l’exposition aux
