Safety instructions for all
applications
a)
This power tool is designed for use
as a sander and polishing machine.
Read all safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and specifications
provided with this power tool.
Failure
to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
b)
This power tool is not suitable for
grinding, working with wire brushes
and cutting.
Using the power tool for
other purposes than it is designed for
can cause danger and injuries.
c)
Do not use accessories which
are not specifically designed
and recommended by the tool
manufacturer.l.
Just because the
accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d)
The permissible speed of the tool has
to be at least equal to the maximum
speed specified on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
e)
Outer diameter and thickness of the
tool have to match the dimensional
specifications of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
f)
Tool bits with threaded insert have
to exactly match the threads of the
grinding spindle. When using tool
bits, which are mounted using the
flange, the hole diameter of the tool
bit has to match the diameter of the
flange.
Tool bits that are not fixed
properly to the power tool will rotate
unevenly, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged tool bits. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pads for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brushes for loose or cracked
wires. If power tool or application tool
(planer blade) is dropped, inspect
for damage or install an undamaged
application tool. After inspecting
and installing the tool bit, position
yourself and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating tool and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed
for one minute.
Damaged accessories
will normally break apart during this
test time.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face
shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves
and workshop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments.
The eyes have to be
protected from foreign objects that are
generated and ejected by the various
applications. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles
generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
i)
Keep others at a safe distance from
your work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal
protective equipment.
Fragments of
the workpiece or of a broken tool may
be thrown out and cause injury beyond
immediate area of work.
j)
Hold the power tool only by its
insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where
the fitted accessory may contact
hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting
accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power
