GENERAL WARNINGS

SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION INSTRUCTIONS
The safety and accident prevention instructions are reported in the “SAFETY INSTRUC-
TION” booklet which forms an integral part of these documents; the operating instructions
indicate the additional information required specifically for use of the tool. Never use the
tools without the safety guards. Any operations carried out on the tool must be effected with
the tool disconnected. Before starting the tool, ensure that it is held tightly and not in
contact with the work surface. The electric tool must be connect to a suitable dust extrac-
tion unit and applicable safety regulations must be observed if dusts dangerous to health
are likely to occur during sanding. Due to risks that may arise during sanding, we recom-
mend the constant use of P.S.D. (personal safety devices such as gloves, headphones,
goggles, face masks, etc.) according to laws in force to prevent or reduce accident proba-
bility.
Warning! Carry out the lubrication process outlined on page 7, in the maintenance
paragraph. The appliance continues to work for a few seconds after it has been swit-
ched off.

ling material and similar materials. Metal and materials with an asbestos content must not
be processed with these tools. The tools must not be damp nor operated in a damp envi-
ronment for electrical safety reasons. The tools may only be used for dry sanding. Make
