Do not use accessories which are not specif-
ically 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 haz-
ard.
For transport of the machine, use only swivel
eyelets. After assembling, check the tight
seating of the eyelet.
Before putting into operation, check the
power connection and the power plug for
damage.
Always operate the power tool with together
with a PRCD personal protection switch (*).
Before beginning to work, always check the
proper functioning of the PRCD personal pro-
tection switch (*) (see page 23).
Handling hazardous dusts.
When working with power
tools, such as when grind-
ing, sanding, polishing, sawing or for other
work procedures where material is
removed, dusts develop that are both haz-
ardous to one’s health and can spontane-
ously 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
infections, cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive 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;
To minimize the unwanted intake of these
materials:
–
Use dust extraction matched appropri-
ately for the developing dust.
–
Use personal protective equipment, such
as a P2 filter-class dust protection mask.
–
Provide for good ventilation of the work-
place.
The risk from inhaling dusts depends on
how often these materials are worked.
Materials containing asbestos may only be
worked on by specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust
can cause spontaneous com-
bustion or explosions.
Hot mixtures of sanding dust and paint/var-
nish residuals or other chemical materials in
the filter bag or the vac filter can self-ignite
under unfavourable conditions, such as
sparking from sanding metal, continuous
sunlight or high ambient temperatures. To
prevent this:
–
Avoid overheating the material being
sanded and the power tool.
–
Empty the dust collector/container rou-
tinely.
–
Observe the material manufacturer’s
working instructions.
–
Observe the relevant regulations for the
materials being worked.
Hand/arm vibrations.
While working with this
power tool, hand/arm vibra-
tions occur.
These can lead to health impair-
ments.
The vibration emission value
during actual use of the
power tool can differ from the declared
value depending on the ways in which the
tool is used.
