• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connect-
ing to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used.
Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools.
Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to oper-
ate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use.
Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed.
Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts.
This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
Safety information for orbital sanders
• This electrical tool is to be used as a sander.
Observe all safety information, instructions,
illustrations and data you receive with the
electrical tool.
Non-observance of the following
instructions can lead to electric shock, fire and/
or serious injuries.
• Do not use any accessory that has not been
provided and recommended by the manufac-
turer specially for this electrical tool.
Just
because the accessories can be fixed on your
electrical tool, no secured use is ensured.
• Use the electrical tool for dry sanding only.
The risk of electric shock increases if water pen-
etrates an electrical product.
• Warning – risk of fire! Avoid overheating of
the sander and the material being processed.
Always empty the dust container before
breaks.
Grinding dust in the dust container (or in
the filter of the suction unit) can automatically
ignite in unfavourable conditions.
• Inform yourself with regard to the surface to
be sanded and the dusts and vapours poten-
tially arising. If in any doubt, do not inhale
even small amounts of arising dusts or
vapours.
Harmful/toxic dusts may arise when
sanding certain surfaces (various metals, miner-
als or woods as well as weather protection coat-
ings), which can cause severe allergic reactions
or serious illness. Do not inhale these dusts and
vapours and avoid contact. Materials containing
asbestos may only be processed by specialists.
Additional safety information
• Secure the workpiece. The workpiece can be
protected from rebounding or from being flung
away uncontrollably by a clamping mechanism
or a vice (e.g. if the tool becomes jammed).
• Keep the workplace clean. Mixed contamina-
tion by different substances is particularly dan-
gerous. Light metal dust (e.g. aluminium) can
easily ignite or explode.
• Do not use the electrical tool with a damaged
cable. Never touch a damaged cable and
immediately pull out the plug.
Damaged
cables increase the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid overheating the device and workpiece.
Excess heat can damage both tool and product.
• Keep the handles dry and free from grease.
Slippery handles can cause accidents.
• Always heed the applicable national and
international safety, health and labour regula-
tions.
Before commencing work, inform yourself
regarding the regulations valid at the location
where the product is to be used.
• Remember that moving parts may also be
located behind ventilation and venting slots.
• Symbols appearing on your device may not be
removed or covered. Signs on the device that
are no longer legible must be replaced immedi-
ately.
Read and observe the instructions for use
before using the product for the first time.
