General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Work area
safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical
safety
• Power tool or power adapter plugs must match the
outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged
or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal
safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal

person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
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.

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.

Oscillation rate selection
15
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

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 size80, 100 or 120). Use a fine
grit (grain size180, 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.
