Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing, Polishing or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder or sander. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can
break and fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pads and abrasive belts for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brushes for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
3 EN
Operating manual – 3-in-1 multi-function sander PMSS 10-200
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contacting a live wire might energize exposed metal parts of the device and lead to an electric shock.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering an electrical appliance increases the risk of electric shock.
Secure the workpiece. The grip of tensioning devices or a vice is more secure than holding the workpiece only by hand.
During operation hold onto the power tool with both hands. Make sure that you stand firmly on the ground. It is safer to handle the power tool with two hands.
Never touch the abrasive belt while it is in motion. Risk of injury.
Do not use worn, torn or heavily contaminated abrasive belts. Damaged abrasive belts can be torn apart, catapulted away and so lead to personal injury.
For processing wood, or in particular materials that
produce harmful dusts when sanded, connect the power tool to an appropriate external exhaust system.
Only hold the power tool against the workpiece when
the tool is switched on and running. If you are finished with processing the workpiece, lift the power tool off the workpiece before you switch it off.
Make sure that nobody's safety is jeopardized by
flying sparks. Remove combustible materials from the working environment. Grinding metal causes sparks to
fly.
Always keep the power cable behind the device.
Using a power tool that comes equipped with a dust
collector or can be connected to the vacuum cleaner by means of a dust extraction device involves a fire hazard. In unfavourable conditions – e.g. in case of flying
sparks caused by grinding metal or metal remainders in wood – the wood dust inside the dust collector (or in the vacuum cleaner's dust collection bag) might self-ignite. The risk is particularly high when the wood dust is mixed with paint residues or other chemical substances and the sanding material is hot after a longer period of work. Therefore, avoid overheating of the workpiece and of the power tool at all times and empty the dust collector or the vacuum cleaner's dust bag before taking work breaks.
Do not use the dust extraction system when grinding
metals.
Ensure sufficient ventilation.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending
beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

By use of the setting wheel for oscillation rate selection you can change the oscillation rate at any time, even during operation of the device. The required oscillation rate depends on the material and the operating conditions and can be determined by way of field-testing. For sanding harder materials such as wood or metal we recommend a higher oscillation rate, for softer materials e.g. non-ferrous metals and varnishes a low oscillation rate is sufficient. The setting range covers 6levels: 1– MAX (14,000 – 24,000 opm).
1. Turn the setting wheel(15) to the desired oscillation rate.
Connecting the power cable
1. Insert the mains plug into a properly secured mains socket.

Operation

Tips and notes on handling the multi-function sander
General information:
Only use sanding sheets which are approved for the device used.
Check the sanding plate for correct fit before every application. The sanding plate must be firmly locked in place in the flange.
Before every application, make sure that you have selected the correct sanding sheet for the intended use. A coarse grit is suited for rough grinding, a fine grain size, on the other hand, is more appropriate for fine and finish grinding.
Do not process wood and metal using the same sanding sheet.
Only use intact, flawless sanding sheets. Damaged sanding sheets could tear and cause damage to the workpiece. Exchange sanding sheets in due time.
Clamp the workpiece unless it is firmly and safely positioned by its own weight.
Do not overload the device so that it comes to a standstill.
Keep the venting slots clear to prevent the motor from overheating.
Sanding:
The oscillation rate and grain size of the sanding sheet define the removal rate and the surface finish.
Always sand in parallel to the grinding path ensuring an appropriate overlap.
Do not apply excessive contact pressure. Increased contact pressure leads to a greater wear of the device and the sanding sheet.
If the material's surface is untreated, start grinding with coarse or medium grain size and finish off with a fine grit.
Best use a coarse grain size (40 or 60 grit) for removing paint and for rough grinding particularly raw wood. For surface-grinding undressed or sawn timber use abrasive belts of medium grit (grain size80, 100 or 120). Use a fine grit (grain size180, 240 or 320) to smoothen and fine­grind timber and surfaces coated with old paint as well as for dry sanding untreated wooden surfaces.
Avoid the accumulation of dust at the workplace, always use a dust extraction system when grinding.
Use the front or lateral edge of the sanding sheet on the sanding plate to process poorly accessible spots.
Use a dust extraction system when grinding off residual paint. Paint residues might smelt and then smudge both workpiece and sanding sheet.
Switch the device on before applying it to the workpiece. Once the grinding process is concluded, lift the device off the workpiece before you switch it off.
