2 Safety instructions
2.1 General Safety
WARNING!
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.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.2 Tool-specific safety rules
Always wear protective goggles because
of possible dangers when sanding.
- The manufacturer’s handling and processing
instructions must be observed without fail if
explosive or self-igniting dusts are likely to oc-
cur during sanding.
- Harmful/toxic dusts can occur during your work
(e.g. lead-containing paint, some types of wood
and metal). Contact with these dusts, espe-
cially inhaling them, can represent a hazard for
operating personnel or persons in the vicinity.
Comply with the safety regulations that apply in
your country. Connect the electric power tool to
a suitable extraction system.
To protect your health, wear a P2 protec-
tive mask.
2.3 Noise and vibration information
Typically, the noise levels that are determined in
accordance with EN 62841 (see EC declaration of
conformity) are as follows:
Sound-pressure level
72 dB(A)
Sound-power level 83 dB(A)
Measuring uncertainty allowance K = 3 dB
Wear ear protection!
Vibration emission value ah (vector sum for three
directions) and uncertainty K measured in ac-
cordance with EN 62841 (see EU Declaration of
Conformity):
Vibration emission level
(3 directions)
a
h
= 6.0 m/s
2
Uncertainty K =1.5 m/s
2
The specified emissions values (vibration, noise)
– are used to compare machines.
– They are also used for making preliminary
estimates regarding vibration and noise loads
during operation.
