Safety warnings specific for sanding
operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommenda-
tions, when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding
pad presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or kick-
back.
Safety warnings specific for wire
brushing operations
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load
to the brush. The wire bristles can easily pen-
etrate light clothing and/or skin.
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire
wheel or brush may expand in diameter due
to work load and centrifugal forces.
Additional safety warnings
Use elastic spacers/liners when these are pro-
vided with the grinding accessory.
Make absolutely sure that the accessory is
mounted in accordance with the manufac-
turer's instructions. The mounted accessory
must be able to rotate freely. Incorrectly
mounted accessories can loosen during oper-
ation and fly off.
Handle accessories carefully and store them
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Damaged accessories can form cracks and
break off during operation.
When using application tools with a threaded
insert, take care that the thread in the applica-
tion tool is long enough to hold the spindle
length of the power tool. The thread in the
application tool must match the thread on the
spindle. Incorrectly mounted application tools
can loosen during operation and cause inju-
ries.
Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or
water conduits; check the working area with a
metal detector, for example, before com-
mencing work.
Use a stationary extraction system, blow out
ventilation slots frequently and connect a
residual current device (RCD) on the line side.
When working metal under extreme operat-
ing conditions, it is possible for conductive
dust to settle in the interior of the power
tool. The total insulation of the power tool
can be impaired.
This double-insulated power tool is equipped
with a polarized plug (one contact is wider than
the other). The plug will only fit into the polar-
ized socket outlet in one position. Turn the plug
if it does not fit completely into the socket out-
let. If the plug still does not fit, have a qualified
electrician install a polarized socket outlet. Do
not modify or alter the plug under any circum-
stances. Double-insulated power tools nei-
ther require a three-core power cable nor a
power connection with ground contact.
Operate the power tool only off of power sup-
plies whose voltage and frequency values cor-
respond with the values on the type plate of the
power tool.
When operating the power tool in a damp envi-
ronment, it must be connected via a ground-
fault circuit interrupter (g.f.c.i.). Using special
rubber protective gloves and footwear
increase your own safety.
Recommendation: The tool should always be
supplied with power via a residual current
device (RCD) with a rated current of 30 mA or
less.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Before mounting or replacing application tools
or accessories, pull the power plug. This pre-
ventive safety measure rules out the danger of
injuries through accidental starting of the
power tool.
