Safety instructions
J
Use dust vacuuming and collecting equipment
if these can be attached to the appliance. Please
note that the vacuums used must be suitable for
this special application. The correct use of this
equipment reduces the risks from dust.
There is a risk of fire when working with electrical
appliances that have a dust sack or can be
connected to an appropriate appliance with a dust
suction attachment! Under unfavourable conditions,
such as flying sparks, grinding of metal or metal
remnants in wood, the wood dust in the dust
sack (or in the collection sack of a vacuum cleaner)
can ignite. This can happen especially if the
wood dust has paint particles on it or is mixed
with other chemical substances and the sanded
material is hot after extensive working. You
should therefore avoid an overheating of the
items being worked and of the appliance, and
always empty the dust sack or the filter sack of
the vacuum before work pauses.
Careful handling and use
of electrical tools
J
Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct
electrical tool for the task in hand. With the most
suitable electrical hand tool you will work better
and safer within its predetermined area of
performance.
J
Never use an electrical tool with a defective
switch. An electrical tool that can no longer be
switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
J
Remove the plug from the power socket before
making adjustments to the appliance, changing
accessories or putting the appliance away. These
precautionary measures prevent accidental
starting of the appliance.
J
Store unused electrical tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow people to operate the tool
who are not familiar with the appliance or who
have not read these instructions. Electrical tools
are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
J
Take good care of the appliance. Check to ensure
that moving appliance parts are functioning cor-
rectly and do not jam, that parts are not broken
or damaged and that the functioning of the
appliance is not impaired. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the appliance. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained electrical tools.
J
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
jam less often and are easier to guide.
J
Use electrical hand tools, accessories or ancillary
components only in accordance with these
instructions and in such a manner as is detailed
for the particular types of appliance. Take heed
of the operating conditions and the activities to
be performed. The use of electrical tools for
purposes other than their intended applications
can result in dangerous situations.
Appliance-specific safety
instructions
J
When working in outside areas, protect yourself
against leakage current by fitting an FI protection
switch with a max. activation rating of 30 mA.
J
Only use an extension cable certified for use
outdoors.
J
Secure the workpiece firmly. Use clamps or a
vice to firmly hold the workpiece. This results
in a safer grip than with your hand.
J
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.
J
In event of danger, immediately remove the
power plug from the socket.
J
Always run the power cable away from the
appliance to the rear.
J
Fire hazard due to flying sparks!
When sanding
metals, there is a risk of flying sparks. For this
reason, always make certain that no one is at
risk and that no flammable materials are located
near the working area.
J
m 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 pro-
tection mask!
J
When working for extended periods on wood
and, in particular, materials that produce dusts
