Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing:
Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing
bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely.
Tuck away or trim any loose attachment
strings. Loose and spinning attachment strings
can entangle your fingers or snag on the work-
piece.

Additional Safety Instructions
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the abrasive and if required.
Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect the discs from grease or
impacts!
Accessories must be stored and handled with care
in accordance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured
against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large work-
pieces must be sufficiently supported.
Always wear protective goggles.
During machining, of metals in
particular, conductive dust can
form deposits inside the machine. This can lead to
the transfer of electrical energy onto the machine
housing. This can mean a temporary danger of
electric shocks. This is why it is necessary when
the machine is running to blow compressed air
through the rear ventilation slots of the machine
regularly, frequently and thoroughly. Here, the
machine must be held firmly.
We recommend using a stationary extractor
system and connecting a residual current circuit-
breaker (FI) upstream. When the polisher is shut
down via the FI circuit-breaker, it must be checked
and cleaned. See chapter
9 Cleaning for more information on cleaning the
motor.
Dust from materials such as lead-containing paint
and metal may be harmful to health. Contact with
or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reac-
tions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or
bystanders.
Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcino-
genic. Material containing asbestos must only be
treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is
recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.

Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
When working in dusty conditions, ensure that
ventilation openings are not blocked. If it becomes
necessary to remove dust, first disconnect the
power tool from the mains supply (use non-
metallic objects) and avoid damaging internal
components.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Connect a FI circuit-breaker with max.
release current (30 mA) upstream when using the
machine outdoors!
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defec-
tive additional handle.
A damaged or cracked hand guard must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defec-
tive hand guard.
