b) Only use the device if it can be switched from the operating
mode to the stop mode and vice versa. Devices where operation is
not possible via the switch, are a danger and must be sent for repair.
c) Disconnect the power cable before you set up the device,
change a component or store it. These safety measures reduce the
risk of accidentally switching on the device.
d) Keep unused devices away from children and only allow people
to operate them who are familiar with the device or the operating
manual. Devices in the hands of untrained people are a danger.
e) Maintaining the device Check the device for incorrect align-
ment or blocking of rotating parts, for parts broken off or other
conditions which have an adverse impact on the device. Damaged
devices must be repaired before use. Many accidents happen due to
badly maintained devices.
f) Make sure the cutting tools are sharp and clean. Carefully main-
tained tools with sharp cutting edges do not block as quickly and are
easier to operate.
g) The device, accessories and abrasive sanding discs etc. must
be used according to this operating manual and under considera-
tion of the working conditions and the tasks to be done. The use of
the device for tasks that do not correspond to its application can lead to
dangerous situations.
5 – Maintenance and repair
a) The device may only be maintained and repaired by qualified
maintenance staff using original spare parts. This guarantees the
safety of the device.
SAFETY WARNINGS FOR SANDING, SANDBLASTING,
METAL BRUSHING, POLISHING OR CUTTING WHEEL
OPERATION:
a) This electronic device functions as a tool. Carefully read the sa-
fety notices, instructions, illustrations and specifications supplied
with the electronic device. Non-compliance with the following safety
notices may lead to electric shock, fire or serious injury.
b) Jobs like sanding, sand blasting, metal brushing and polishing
should not be carried out with this electronic device. Jobs outside
the application of the device can cause danger and injury.
c) Only use accessories which were produced specially for the
device and which are recommended by the manufacturer. The fact
that an accessory can be attached to your electronic device, does not
guarantee device safety.
d) The nominal rotation speed of the accessories must corre-
spond to the maximum revolutions specified on the electronic
device. Accessories which are operated at higher revolutions than the
nominal rotation speed, can break and fly apart.
e) The external diameter and the thickness of the accessories
must lie within the capacity of your electronic device. Accessories
of other sizes cannot be protected and controlled sufficiently.
f) The holding mandrel of the discs, flanges and grinding discs as
well as of other accessories must be big enough to conveniently
accept the arbor of the electronic device. Accessories with an arbor
hole unsuitable for the arbor size of the electronic device do not run
smoothly, they vibrate increasingly which can lead to the device getting
out of control.
g) Only use undamaged accessories. Before using the device, the
accessories must always be checked. Check the sanding discs for
chippings and cracks, the grinding discs for cracks and excessive
wear and tear as well as for loose or damaged cables. Should the
device or accessories fall on the floor, they must be checked for
damage and , if required, undamaged accessories need to be at-
tached. After checking and attaching the accessories, you as well
as others present need to be positioned at sufficient distance from
the surface of the rotating accessories, and the electronic device
needs to run for one minute at maximum speed with no load. Da-
maged accessories usually break apart during this test phase.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the appli-
cation, you must wear face protection or goggles. When required,
you must wear a dust mask, hearing protection, protective gloves
and an apron as protection from particles which are produced
during sanding. The goggles must be suitable as protection from
small flying parts which are produced during different activities with the
device. The dust mask or the breathing equipment must be able to filter
particles which are produced during the different activities. If the human
ear is exposed to very loud noises over a longer period, this can lead to
hearing damage.
i) People present have to be at a safe distance from the work
area. The work area may only be entered with personal protective
equipment. Debris from the machined part or from accessories can fly
off and cause injuries within the immediate work area.
j) Hold the device only by the insulated part of the handle when
carrying out work during which there may be a danger that you
cut into a cable which cannot be seen or into the cable of the de-
vice itself. If you cut into a live cable, the metal parts of the electronic
device also become live and cause electric shock to the operator of the
device.
k) Keep the cable away from rotating accessories. If you lose
control over the device, the cable could be cut or get hooked and your
hand or your arm could get caught in the rotating accessories.
l) Put down the electronic device only when the accessories have
come to a complete standstill. Rotating accessories can get caught
on the floor and the electronic device gets out of control.
m) Leave the electronic device switched off during carrying. If the
rotating accessories touch your clothes by accident, they will get caught
up and the accessories can injure your body.
n) Clean the ventilation slots of the electronic device regularly. The
motor fan pulls dust into the casing so that excessive build-up of metal
powder can lead to electrical hazards.
o) The electronic device must not be used close to flammable ma -
terials. Generation of sparks can lead to ignition of these materials.
p) Do not use accessories for which liquid coolants are required.
Coolants can lead to electric shock.
Recoil and related safety notices
If rotating discs, metal brushes or other accessories get hooked or
caught, this can lead to sudden recoil. The rotating accessory stops
rapidly which leads to complete loss of control over the electronic
device because the device abruptly rotates in the opposite direction. If
a grinding wheel gets hooked or caught in the machined part, the edge
of the grinding wheel eats into the surface of the material at that point,
and the grinding wheel is ejected. The disc is either ejected towards
the operator or away from the operator, depending on the direction
in which the disc was moving when it got stuck. The grinding wheel
may also break under these conditions. A recoil occurs only when the
electronic device is used improperly or for inappropriate jobs. This can
be prevented with appropriate safety measures which will be explained
in the following.
a) Hold the electronic device securely and position yourself and
your arm in such a way that you can withstand recoil. If required,
use the additional handles to have maximum control over po-
tential recoil or torque resistance when turning the device on. If
