Safety instructions
WARNING!
Read all safety notices and instructions.
Failure to comply with the safety notices and
instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injuries . Keep all safety
notices and instructions in a safe place for
future reference.
This power tool is to be used as a sander/
grinder. Observe all of the safety notices,
instructions, diagrams and specifications
included with the tool.
Failure to heed the following instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or
serious injury.
This power tool is not suitable for sanding
with sandpaper, working with wire
brushes, polishing and cutting discs.
Hazards and injuries can ensue if the
power tool is not used in the way
intended.
Do not use accessories other than those
specifically provided and recommended
by the manufacturer for this power tool.
Just because an accessory can be
attached to the power tool does not mean
that it is safe to use.
The approved speed of the tool/
attachment must be at least as high as
the maximum speed specified on the
power tool.
Accessories that rotate faster than
permitted could disintegrate and broken
parts could fling off at speed.
The outside diameter and the thickness
of the tool/attachment must be within the
capacity rating of the power tool.
Tools/attachments of the wrong size
cannot be shielded or controlled
sufficiently.
Sanding/grinding discs, sanding/grinding
wheels or other accessories must fit
precisely on the spindle of your power
tool.
Tools/attachments that do not fit properly
on the spindle of the power tool will rotate
unevenly, vibrate heavily and cause loss
of control.
Do not use damaged tools/attachments.
Before each use, check tools/
attachments for chips and cracks, check
grinding/sanding plates for fractures and
look for signs of major wear and tear. If
the power tool or tool/attachment falls on
the ground, check whether it is damaged
or use an undamaged power tool and/or
tool/attachment. Once the tool/
attachment has been inspected and
installed, keep yourself and others away
from the rotating tool/attachment and
allow the power tool to operate at full
speed for one minute.
If tools/attachments are damaged they
will usually break in this test period.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Wear a visor, eye protection or goggles
depending on use. If appropriate, wear a
dust mask, ear defenders, safety gloves
or special apron to protect against small
grinding particles and material
fragments.
Eyes should be protected against foreign
bodies that are flung into the air during
various applications. Dust masks or
respirators must be capable of filtering
out dust generated during use. Hearing
damage could ensue if you are exposed
to loud noise for extended periods.
Make sure that others are kept a safe
distance from your working area. All
persons who enter the working area are
required to wear personal protective
equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken
tools/attachments could be flung into the
air and cause injuries even outside the
immediate working area.
Hold the power tool by the insulated
gripping surfaces when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory
could contact hidden wiring or its own
power cord.
Contact with a live wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool live
and cause an electric shock.
Keep the power cord away from rotating
tools/attachments.
If you lose control over the power tool,
the power cord could be cut or pulled and
draw your hand or arm into the rotating
tool/attachment.
