
Keep your body away from the area in
which the power tool will move in the event
of a kickback. Kickback propels the power
tool in the direction opposite the move
-
ment of the sanding disc in the seized ar
-
ea.

Exercise greater caution when working in
corners, at sharp edges and such like.
Prevent tools/attachments recoiling from
the workpiece and becoming jammed. The
tool/attachment has a tendency to jam in
corners, at sharp edges or when it recoils.
As a result, control could be lost or kick
-
back caused.
Special safety notices for sandpaper:

Do not use oversized sandpaper. Observe
manufacturer's recommendations when
selecting sandpaper size.
Sandpaper that protrudes over the sand
-
ing plate can cause injuries. Doing this
can also cause seizure, ripping of the
sandpaper or kickback.
Special safety notices for polishing

There should be no loose parts on the pol
-
ishing pad, particularly tying cords. Tuck
away or trim the cords. Loose cords could
strike fingers as they spin or get caught in
the workpiece.
Special safety notices for working with
wire brushes

Note that the wire brush loses wires during
normal use. Do not overload the wires by
pressing too hard. If wires fling off under
pressure they can very easily penetrate
light clothing and/or skin.

If a protective hood is recommended,
make sure that there is no contact be
-
tween the wire brush and protective hood.
The diameter of plate and cup wire brush
-
es can increase through pressing and cen
-
trifugal forces.
Safety notices for power tools with
pipe belt sanding attachment
WARNING!
Read all safety notices and instructions.
Failure to comply with the safety notices and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injuries . Keep all safety
notices and instructions in a safe place for
future reference.

Use the power tool for dry sanding/grind
-
ing only. The ingress of water in the power
tool increases the risk of electric shock.

When working with the belt sander, guide
the tool with both hands. The handle must
be fitted! Do not switch on the machine un
-
til both hands are in the grip position.

Keep hands away from the moving sand
-
ing belt. There is a risk of contusion in the
area of the relay rollers. Due to the way
the tool operates and the engineered flexi
-
bility, these hazardous areas cannot be
completely eliminated.

Dust released from materials, such as
lead paints, some types of wood, miner
-
als and metal, may be hazardous to the
operator or people in the vicinity. Inhaling
or touching such dust may result in respira
-
tory diseases and/or allergic reactions.
– Ensure the workplace is well ventilated.
– If possible, use external dust extraction.
– It is recommended to wear a respirator
mask of filter class P2.

Do not work on materials that release haz
-
ardous substances (e.g. asbestos).

Never grind or cut alloys whose magnesium
content is greater than 80 %. Risk of fire!

Tools that are used outside or are exposed
to high levels of metal dust must be con
-
nected using an earth leakage circuit
breaker (maximum 30 mA trigger current).

Do not use worn, ripped or heavily contam
-
inated sanding belts. Damaged sanding
belts could disintegrate, fling off at speed
and cause an injury.

Before use, check that the sanding/grind
-
ing attachments are correctly mounted and
secure. Run the power tool without load for
30 seconds. Stop the test run immediately
in the event of significant vibration or other
damage.

Do not place the belt sander under such a
load that it comes to a halt or the sanding
belt slips.
