3. General Safety Information

For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Read the operating
instructions to reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
Always include these documents when passing on
your power tool.

4. Special Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the sanding surface may contact its own
cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal
parts of the power tool "live" and could give the
operator an electric shock.
Flying sparks are created when sanding metal.
Ensure that no persons are in danger. Due to the
risk of fire, all combustible materials must be
removed from the work area (area affected by flying
sparks).
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.
It is recommended to use a stationary extraction
system and to place a ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) downstream. When the machine is shut
down via the GFCI, it must be checked and cleaned.
See the 8. Cleaning chapter for more information on
cleaning the motor.
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Wear tight-fitting protective gloves and clothing. Do
not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Wear a suitable dust protection mask (filter
class 3).
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the
help of clamping devices.
Never place your hand near rotating parts of the
device or near the rotating sanding belt.
Remove sanding dust and similar material only
when the machine is not in operation.
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, changing tools, carrying out
maintenance or cleaning.
The rated speed of the sanding belt must be at least
equal to the belt speed in idling marked on the
power tool. A sanding belt running faster than its
rated speed can break and fly apart.
Check prior to each use that the sanding belt is
correctly attached and is completely on the rollers.
Carry out a trial run: Allow the machine to run at
idling speed for 30 seconds in a safe location. Stop
immediately if significant vibrations occur or if other
defects are noted. If such a situation occurs, check
the machine to determine the cause.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
