Use recommended accessories. Consult the
owner's manual for recommended accesso-
ries. The use of improper accessories may
cause risk of injury to persons.
Never stand on machine. Serious injury could
occur if the machine is tipped or if the grind-
ing belt is unintentionally contacted.
Check damaged parts. Before further use of
the machine, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function – check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
Direction of feed. Feed work against the direc-
tion of rotation of grinding tool only.
Never leave the machine running while unat-
tended. Turn power off. Don't leave machine
until it comes to a complete stop.

1.2 Electrical Safety Notes.

The mains plug of the machine
WARNING
may be mounted only by a qual-
ified electrician. The protective conductor in
the mains socket outlet must be connected
with the protective earthing of the mains sup-
ply.
Check the rotation direction of the motor before
starting the operation of the machine for the
first time. If the rotation direction of the
motor is incorrect, the workpiece can be
thrown from the machine and cause an acci-
dent. The rotation direction may be changed
only by a qualified electrician.
When wiring this machine make sure it is
properly grounded in accordance with
National Electric code and local codes and
ordinances. This work should be done by a
qualified electrician.
1.3 Specific Safety Notes for Belt
Grinders.
Make sure that the undercarriage stands
securely and has a level setup position. Fasten
the undercarriage to the ground. If the under-
carriage tips over during operation, serious
injuries can result.
Use appropriate fastening material when
mounting the machine to the undercarriage.
When mounted incorrectly, the machine can
come loose from the undercarriage and cause
serious accidents.
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 eye protec-
tion must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of filtrat-
ing particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.
While working, do not wear loose clothing, jew-
ellery, open or long hair. Loose objects can be
caught in moving parts despite protective
devices, and lead to injuries.
Do not use worn, torn or heavily clogged grind-
ing belts. Handle grinding belts with care and
store them in accordance with the instructions
of the manufacturer. Do not bend or crease
grinding belts! Damaged grinding belts can
tear apart and be thrown from the machine
resulting in possible personal injury.
Do not use grinding belts or other accessories
which are not specifically designed and recom-
mended by the power tool manufacturer. Safe
operation is not ensured merely because a
grinding belt or accessory fits your machine.
Always use the protective devices of the
machine. The protective devices must be
securely mounted to the machine and posi-
tioned for maximum safety. The protective
devices help to protect the operator from fly-
ing grinding particles and unintentional con-
tact with the grinding belt.
Caution! Danger of fire and explosion! When
grinding metals (e. g. aluminium or magne-
sium), dust develops that can be combustible
or explosive. Do not operate the machine in the
vicinity of combustible materials. Sparks can
ignite such materials.
Caution! Danger of fire! When grinding metals,
red hot metal and grinding belt particles
develop and are collected in the dust collector.
Before emptying, the contents of the dust col-
lector must have cooled sufficiently and may
be disposed only in suitable containers.
