General safety advice for electrical power tools
Special safety advice for
abrading using sandpaper
Do not use over-sized sanding sheets.
Follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations for sanding sheet size.
Sanding
sheets that project beyond the backing pad
could cause injury in addition to jamming,
tearing of the sheet or kickback.
Special safety
advice for polishing
Do not use the polishing bonnet if it
has any loose parts, in particular the
fastening cords.
Tuck the fastening cords
away or trim them. Loose fastening cords rotat-
ing with the attachment could catch your fingers
or become trapped in the workpiece.
Special safety advice for
working with wire brushes
a)
Bear in mind that wire brushes lose
pieces of wire during normal use. Do
not overload the wires by applying too
much pressure.
Flying pieces of wire can very
easily penetrate thin clothing and / or skin.
b)
Use a guard, if recommended, but
make sure that the wire brush does
not come into contact with the guard.
The diameters of disc brushes and cup brushes
can increase due to contact pressure and cen-
tripetal forces.

Otherwise they could become
detached from the device and result in injury
and / or damage to property.
Ensure that any spacers supplied and
required for the use of certain abrasive
consumables and tools are installed.
Do not use separate reducing bushes
or adapters in order to make grinding
discs with a larger bore fit.
When using abrasive consumables
and tools with a threaded insert make
sure that the tread is long enough for
the spindle length.
Otherwise the grinding
discs could become detached from the device
and result in injury and / or damage to property.
Do not allow the end of the spindle
