General safety information for power tools
Warning!
Read all the safety information, instructions, illustrations and technical data provided on or with this power tool. Failure to adhere to the following instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep all the safety information and instructions in a safe place for future use. The term „power tool“ used in the safety information and instructions refers to power tools operated from the mains power supply (with a power cable) and to battery operated power tools (without a power cable).
Workplace safety
- Keep your work area clean and well lit. Untidy or unlit work areas can result in accidents.
- Do not use this power tool in an area where there is a risk of explosion and where there are inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite dust or vapors.
- Keep children and other people away from the power tool while you are using it. If you are distracted you may lose control of the power tool.
Electrical safety
- The plug on the power tool must fi t into the socket. The socket must not be modified in any way. Do not use adapter plugs together with power tools with a protective earth. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching sockets will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating systems, stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of suffering an electric shock if your body is earthed.
- Keep the power tool out of the rain and away from moisture. The ingress of water into an electric power tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
- Do not use the power cable for a purpose for which it is not designed, for example to carry the power tool, hang it up or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the power cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Power cables that are damaged or tangled increase the risk of an electric shock.
- If you use an electric power tool out-doors, use only extension cables that are suitable for outdoor use. The use of an extension cable which is suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of an electric shock.
- If you cannot avoid using the power tool in a damp location, use a residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker. The use of a residual current device (RCD) circuit breaker will reduce the risk of suffering an electric shock.
Safety of persons
- Be careful, watch what you are doing and be sensible and responsible when using an electric power tool. Never use the power tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. One moment of inattention when using the electric tool can result in serious injuries.
- Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal safety equipment such as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, a helmet or ear plugs, depending on the type and application of the tool, reduces the risk of injury.
- Make sure that the tool cannot start up accidentally. Ensure that the power tool is switched off before you connect it to the power supply and/or connect the battery pack, pick it up or carry it. If you have your fi nger on the switch while carrying the power tool or if you connect the power tool to the power supply while it is switched on, this may cause accidents.
- Remove all adjusting tools or wrenches before you switch on the power tool. Any tool or wrench in a rotating part of the power tool could cause injuries.
- Avoid abnormal working postures. Make sure you stand squarely and keep your balance at all times. This will enable you to control the power tool better in unexpected situations.
- Wear suitable clothes. Never wear loose fi tting clothes or jewelry. Keep hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught by moving parts.
- If dust extraction devices and dust collection devices can be fitted, they must be connected and must be used correctly. The use of a dust extractor can reduce the dangers posed by dust.
- Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false sense of security and do not ignore the safety regulations covering electric power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after having used it many times. Carelessness can lead to serious injuries in just a fraction of a second.
Using and handling the power tool
- Do not overload your power tool. Use the correct electric tool for the job in hand. The correct tool will enable you to work better and more safely within the specific performance range.
- Do not use an electric power tool if the switch is defective. An electric power tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove the removable battery pack before making any adjustments to the tool, changing plug-in tool parts or putting the power tool down. These precautions will prevent the power tool starting accidentally.
- Keep unused electric tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or who have not read these instructions to use the power tool. Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by inexperienced people.
- Look after power tools and plug-in tools with care. Check that moving parts function correctly and do not jam, and whether any parts are broken or damaged such that they adversely affect the function of the power tool. Have damaged parts repaired before you use the power tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electric tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges will jam less and are easier to control.
- Use the power tool, plug-in tools, etc. as set out in these instructions. Take account of the conditions in your work area and the job in hand. Using electric tools for purposes other than the one for which they are designed can result in dangerous situations.
- Keep the handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. If the handles and grip surfaces are slippery, it will not be possible to operate and control the power tool safely in unforeseen situations.
Service
- Have your power tool repaired only by trained personnel using only genuine spare parts. This will ensure that your power tool remains safe to use.
Additional safety instructions
- Hold the electric equipment only by the insulated handles because the grinding/sanding face might strike the equipment‘s own power cable. Damaging a live cable may make the metal parts of the equipment live and cause an electric shock.
- This tool may only be used for dry grinding/sanding operations.
- Always guide the power cable away from the back of the tool.
- Use of the tool on materials containing asbestos is prohibited.
- Always remove the plug from the power supply socket before carrying out any work on the machine (cleaning the sander, changing the sandpaper, etc.).
- Always disconnect the machine by removing the plug from the socket, not by pulling on the power cable.
- Keep your workplace clean and well illuminated.
- Make sure that the workpiece is sufficiently secured so that it cannot slip.
- Keep children away.
- For your own sake, keep the machine clean at all times and check it for signs of damage each time after using it.
- Make sure that the switch is set to OFF before you insert the plug into the power supply socket.
- Make sure of your footing, particularly when working on ladders and platforms.
- Harmful or toxic dust can be produced when working on wood or metal.
Touching or inhaling this dust can be harmful for the operator and other persons nearby. - To protect your health, always wear safety goggles and a dust mask during sanding/grinding work!
- If you discover any damage to the machine, use the exploded diagram and the spare parts list to determine which parts need to be ordered from Customer Service.
- Important! Wear safety goggles and a dust mask.
