Do not use worn, torn or heavily clogged
grinding belts. Handle grinding belts carefully
and store them according to the manufac-
turer’s instructions. Do not bend or fold grind-
ing belts!
Damaged grinding belts can tear, be
flung away and injure someone.
Never touch the running grinding belt and do
not reach under the protective guard.
Danger
of injury.
Always use the protective devices attached on
the machine. The protective devices must be
securely mounted to the machine in order to
achieve maximum safety.
The protective
devices are supposed to protect the user from
grinding particles thrown from the machine
and from accidental contact with the grinding
belt.
Warning! Danger of fire and explosion! When
grinding metals (e.g., aluminium or magne-
sium), dust develops that may be combustible
or explosive. Do not operate the machine near
flammable materials.
Sparks could cause
these materials to ignite.
Pay attention that other persons are not put at
risk from sparking.
Remove flammable mate-
rials in close vicinity. Sparking occurs when
grinding metal.
Secure the work piece firmly.
A work piece
that is gripped tightly in a clamping device or
vice, is more secure than if held by hand.
Hold the power tool firmly.
High reaction
torque can briefly occur.
Never touch the running grinding belt.
Danger
of injury.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or
signs onto the power tool.
If the insulation is
damaged, protection against an electric shock
will be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recom-
mended.
Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the
power tool manufacturer.
Safe operation is
not ensured merely because an accessory fits
your power tool.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power
tool at regular intervals using non-metal
tools.
The blower of the motor draws dust
into the housing. An excessive accumulation
of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
Before putting into operation, check the
power connection and the power plug for
damage.
Recommendation: The tool should always be
supplied with power via a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) with a rated current of
30 mA or less.
Handling hazardous dusts.
When working with power
tools, such as when grinding,
sanding, polishing, sawing or for other work
procedures where material is removed, dusts
develop that are both hazardous to one’s
health and can spontaneously combust or be
explosive.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types can
trigger allergic reactions to the operator or
bystanders and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions, cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
Examples of such materials which contain
chemicals that can produce hazardous dusts,
are:
–
Asbestos and materials containing asbes-
tos;
–
Lead-containing coatings, some wood
types such as beech and oak;
–
Minerals and metal;
–
Silicate particles from bricks, concrete and
other materials containing stone;
–
Solvent from solvent-containing paint/
varnish;
–
Arsenic, chromium and other wood pre-
servatives;
–
Materials for pesticide treatment on boat
and ship hulls;
–
Stainless steel dust, metal dust and non-
ferrous metal dust;
