the device.
Many accidents have their origins
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f)
Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g)
Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take
into account the working conditions
and the task in hand.
The use of electrical
power tools for purposes other than those in-
tended can lead to dangerous situations.
Safety advice relating
specifically to random
orbital sanders
When working in outside areas, pro-
tect yourself against leakage current
by fitting an FI protection switch with
a max. activation rating of 30 mA.
Use exclusively an extension cable
that is certified for use outdoors
Secure the workpiece firmly.
Use
clamps or a vice to firmly hold the workpiece.
This results in a safer grip than with your hand.
Under no circumstances should you
place your hands next to or in front of
the appliance or on the area to be
worked,
you could be seriously injured if you
slip or stumble.
In event of danger, immediately re-
move the power plug from the socket.
Always run the power cable away
from the appliance to the rear.
Ensure that nobody is endangered by
flying sparks.
Remove combustible materials
from the immediate vicinity. Flying sparks are pro-
duced when metals are ground.
CAUTION! DANGER OF FIRE!
Ensure that the material being
ground and the grinder itself
do not overheat.
Always empty the dust
container before taking a break from work.
Grinding dust in the dust sack, microfilter, paper
sack (or in the filter sack or filter of the vacuum
cleaner) can ignite automatically under unfa-
vour-able conditions such as flying sparks when
metal is being ground. There is a par-ticular
hazard if the grinding dust is mixed with paint or
polyurethane residues or other chemical sub-
stances and the material being ground is hot
after being worked on for a prolonged period.
WARNING!
TOXIC VAPOURS!
The working of materials that can produce
harmful / toxic dusts presents a health risk for
the operator and for people located in the
close vicinity.
Wear safety glasses and a
dust protection mask!
When working for extended periods
on wood and, in particular, materials
that produce dusts that are hazardous
to health, connect the appliance to an
appropriate external suction device.
Provide for sufficient ventilation when
working plastics, varnishes and paints.
Do not soak materials or surfaces to
be worked with liquids containing
solvents.
The electric tool must only be used for
dry grinding.
The penetration of water into
the electric device increases the risk of an elec-
tric shock.
Avoid sanding lead-based paints or
other materials that are hazardous to
health.
Material containing asbestos may not
be worked.
Asbestos is considered to be a
carcinogen.
Avoid contact with the moving sand-
ing sheet.
Use the appliance only with a sanding
sheet in place.
Never use the appliance for purposes
other than those intended and only
with original components / accessories.
Introduce the appliance to the work
piece with it switched on.
On task com-
pletion, lift the appliance from the work piece
and then switch it off.
