Appliance-specific Safety
Instructions
To avoid the risk of injury or fire as well
as health risks:
J
When working outdoors, connect the appli-
ance via a residual current circuit-breaker with
a maximum breaking current of 30 mA.
J
Only use an extension cord certified for use
outdoors.
J
Secure the workpiece firmly. Use clamps / vices
to firmly hold the workpiece. It is thus better
secured than just with your hand.
J
Never support your hands next to or in front of
the device or on the surface being worked as
there is a risk of injury in the event of slipping.
J
In case of danger, immediately pull the power
plug from the socket.
J
Always run the power cord 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!
Working with
harmful / toxic dusts results in health hazards
for the person operating the appliance and for
other persons in the area.
Wear safety glasses and a dust
protection mask!
J
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.
J
Ensure sufficient ventilation when working on
plastics, paints, lacquers, etc.
J
Do not soak materials or surfaces to be worked
with liquids containing solvents. Heating during
sanding can give rise to vapours that are toxic
or hazardous to health.
J
Avoid sanding of lead-based paints or other
materials that are hazardous to health.

hands while working (see also Fig. D, E).
J
Always switch off the appliance and allow
the sanding pad
9
to come to a stop before
setting down the oscillating sander.
J
Always pull the power plug out of the socket
for all work pauses, before any work on the
appliance (e.g. changing the sanding paper)
and when not in use.
J
The appliance must always be kept clean, dry
and free of oil or lubricating greases.
J
Always stay alert! Always pay attention to
what you are doing and act with common
sense. Never use the appliance when you are
