• Machine operation may generate hazardous/
toxic dusts (e.g. when sanding specific types
of wood or mineral substances). Inhaling or
skin contact with these types of dust may be
hazardous for the machine operator and any other
person within the work area.
Take note of the safety requirements applicable in
your country.
Connect the device to an appropriate dust
extraction system.
• Take extra care when working in corners, along
sharp edges, etc. (see also chapter 4.4)
• Prevent sharp impacts and entanglements of
the accessory parts on the workpiece. (see also
chapter 4.4)
• Always wear protective goggles to protect your
eyes while sanding.
• Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect your
health.
• Noise emissions during operation may damage
hearing. Wear hearing protection!
• Keep the grips and grip areas dry, clean and free
from oil or grease.
• Caution! Fire hazard! Avoid overheating of
the workpiece and the sander. Always empty
the dust collection container before taking a
work break. Sanding dust in the filter bag or
filter of the dust extractor can spontaneously
ignite in unfavourable conditions. A fire hazard
exists if sanding dust mixes with varnish and/
or polyurethane residue or other chemical
components, and the workpiece heats up after an
extended work session.
4.3 Working environment
• Ensure that there are no other persons at your
workplace or that there is a sufficient safety
distance between you and the next person.
• Any nails, bolts or other metal objects must be
removed from or fully countersunk into the work
surface to prevent damage to the backing pad
.
This measure will help prevent device damage,
jamming and recoil.
• Attach an appropriate industrial dust extractor
to reduce the dust load.
• Sanding dust and flying fragments from the
abrasive or the workpiece are a hazard for your
eyesight. Wear protective goggles!
• Working with electric power tools can negatively
impact your hearing. Wear hearing protection!
• Sanding dust poses a hazard to airways and
lungs. Wear a protective mask!
• Keep your hands, hair, feet and loose-fitting
clothing away from the backing pad and/or
additionally protect these.
• Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces
like radiators or pipes, cookers and refrigerators.
• Wear non-skid work boots.
• Ensure secure footing (good ground contact and
balance) and avoid working too far overhead, as
you might lose your balance.
• Do not operate the device in the immediate
vicinity of flammable materials, as they could
ignite from flying sparks.
• Read the data sheets provided by the material
manufacturers of the workpieces you wish
to sand. The device
must not be operated
if
spontaneously combustible or explosive dusts
are generated, as a spark strike could have fatal
consequences.
• The device must not be operated in explosive
environments.
• Make sure to keep the power cable of the device
at a safe distance from the backing pad to further
reduce the risk of electrocution. That will minimise
the risk of damage to the cable insulation or
cutting through the cable with the abrasive and
also prevent the cable looping around your hand
or arm.
• Unplug the mains plug immediately if the electric
cable is damaged.
• Do not pull the electric cable around corners,
as this might result in kinks or tears in the cable,
which could then cause additional damage at a
later time.
• Never pull on the electric cable and only use the
actual plug to unplug the electric power tool. Do
not suspend the device by its power cable.
• Switch off the power tool before you replace the
sanding disc or abrasive.
• Disconnect the power tool from mains power
before replacing the backing pad.
• Do not expose any part of the device to caustic
media (e.g. chemicals) or excessive heat (above
60 °C).
• Do not attempt to make technical changes to the
device.
• Keep the electric power tool away from rain and
moisture.
• Use only MENZER-recommended abrasives and
backing pads compliant with intended use and
device dimensions. All accessories must fit the
drive shaft exactly to prevent uneven running,
vibration and loss of control over the machine.
• Deteriorating adherence of the hook & loop layer
on the backing pad may cause accessory parts
for the backing pad (e.g. sanding discs) to detach
and cause injuries. This may occur specifically
during non-contact operation. The backing pad
must therefore be replaced, once adherence
deteriorates.
• Only use sanding discs of the correct size and in
compliance with manufacturer recommendations.
• Do not attempt working with used or worn and
adapted sanding discs from larger electric power
tools.
• After a fall of the device, check the electric power
tool and the backing pad for visible damage.
Remove the backing pad for thorough inspection.
Contact your MENZER Service workshop for
repairs of any damaged parts before use.
A broken backing pad and damaged machines may
cause injuries or negatively impact the handling of
the devices.
• The use of damaged accessories is prohibited.
All accessories and the backing pad must be
checked and replaced as needed before every
use and after a fall or other potentially damaging
occurrence.
• Do not use accessories with a rotational speed
that does not match or is higher than the max.
rotational speed stated on the electric power tool.
• Use the drywall sander on dry substrates only.
Do not use water or any liquid cooling lubricants,
as these could facilitate potentially fatal electric
shocks.
• Do not operate the machine directly next to or
very close to your body to prevent cuts or more
serious injuries. The electric power tool must only
be carried on the body when it is at a complete
standstill.
• Put down the machine only after it was switched
off and the backing pad has come to a complete
standstill to prevent hooking or recoil.
• Regularly clean the ventilation slits on the
machine to maintain proper cooling and to
prevent electrically conductive dust deposits,
as these pose an electrocution or short circuit
hazard. Disconnect the machine from mains
electricity and use compressed air to clean the
ventilation slits.
• Immediately disconnect the machine from mains
electricity when taking a break or finishing work
for the day.
• Switch off the device immediately if it produces
unusual noises or if you feel unusual vibration and
contact MENZER Service.
