Wear personal protective equipment. Use shielding or safety glasses depending on the applic-
ation. If possible, wear a respirator, ear protection, protective gloves and a work apron that is
suitable for protecting against bumps or small grinding or workpiece parts. The respirator or
device must be able to filter particles caused by various work processes. Constant exposure
to noise can lead to hearing loss.
Make sure that people in the vicinity of the machine are a safe distance from the work area. All
persons in the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Parts of the workpiece or
broken accessories can fly off and cause injuries outside the immediate work area.
Always hold the machine by the insulated handles when you want to carry out work that in-
volves the risk of intruding into hidden power cables or your own machine cable. Contact with
live cables transmits an electric current to metallic machine parts and causes electric shocks.
Keep the power cord away from rotating parts. If you lose control, the power cord could be cut
or caught, which could pull your hand or arm into rotating parts.
Never stop the machine until the tool has come to a complete standstill. Lathe tools can get
caught on the work surface, causing you to lose control of the machine.
Make sure that the machine never operates while you are carrying it by your side. The rotating
tool can accidentally catch your clothing and cause serious cuts.
Clean the ventilation slots on your machine regularly. The cooling air fan draws the dust into
the machine and excessive build-up of metal dust can create electrical hazards.
Never operate the machine in the vicinity of explosive materials. Sparks could set them on fire.
Never use tools that require liquid cooling. Water and other liquid coolants can cause poten-
tially fatal electric shock.
Kickback causes and how to avoid kickback
Kickback is a sudden reaction to the pinching or catching of a spinning disc, platen, brush, or
other accessory.
The pinching or entanglement causes the rotating accessory to come to a rapid standstill, with
a counter-reaction accelerating an out of control machine around the pinching point, which in
turn drives out the disc. Depending on the direction of rotation, the disc can either fly towards
the user or away from the user. It can also break the sanding pad. Kickback is the result of in-
correct use of the machine and/or incorrect work or operation and can be avoided by carefully
observing the following precautionary measures.
Always hold the machine firmly and position your body and arms so that you can control all
kickback forces. Always use the auxiliary handle, if included in the scope of delivery, in order
to ensure optimal control of kickbacks or reaction moments during commissioning. The user
can control reaction moments or kickbacks if appropriate precautionary measures are taken.
Keep your hands away from moving parts. The device could jump back and hit your hand.
Never position your body in the area where the machine will move in the event of a kickback.
A kickback accelerates the machine in the direction of rotation opposite the disc at the clamp-
ing point.
Be particularly careful when working in corners, on sharp edges, etc. Avoid kickbacks and pre-
vent the tool from getting stuck. Corners and sharp edges can cause the rotating tool to get
caught, resulting in loss of control or kickback.
Special safety instructions for fine sanding
Do not use grinding discs that are too large for fine sanding. The manufacturer’s instructions must be
observed when selecting the grinding discs. A grinding disc that is too large and protrudes beyond the
sanding pad poses a risk of cuts and can lead to entanglement, cracks and kickbacks.
Additional warnings
Hold the machine firmly with both hands and maintain a stable posture when working. Hold
the machine with both hands to ensure safe guidance.
If explosive or self-igniting dust is produced during sanding, the processing instructions of the
material manufacturer must be observed.
