Hazards caused by flying parts

■ If a workpiece or accessory or even part of the
machine tool itself breaks, parts can be flung
out at high speeds .
■ When operating the sander or the polisher or
when exchanging accessories on the appliance,
always wear eye protection . The degree of nec-
essary protection must be evaluated separately
for each individual task .
■ Wear a safety helmet if working above head
height . In this case, the risks for others should
also be assessed .
■ You must ensure that the workpiece has been
securely fixed .

Hazards caused by entanglement

■ Suffocation, scalping and/or cut wounds
can occur if loose clothing, jewellery, necklaces,
hair or gloves are not kept away from the
machine and its accessories .

Hazards during operation

■ When using the machine, the operator's hands
can be subject to hazards such as cuts, grazing
and heat . Wear suitable gloves to protect your
hands .
■ The operator and maintenance personnel must
be physically capable of handling the size,
mass and power of the machine .
■ Hold the machine correctly: be ready to coun-
teract any normal or sudden movements - have
both hands ready .
■ Ensure that your body is balanced and that you
have a secure standing position .
■ Release the start/stop control in case of a
disruption to the electricity supply .
■ Use only the lubricants recommended by the
manufacturer .

■ Suitable safety goggles must be worn; wearing
protective gloves and safety clothing is recom-
mended .
■ Check the grinding disc before every use . Do
not use if this is cracked, broken or has been
dropped .
■ Avoid direct contact with the movable grinding
disc, to avoid squashing or cutting your hands
or other parts of the body . Always wear suit-
able gloves to protect your hands .
■ Never use the machine without an abrasive
attachment .
■ There is a risk of electrostatic discharge if the
machine is used on plastic and other non-con-
ductive materials .
■ Dust and vapours created by the grinding and
sanding can cause a potentially explosive at-
mosphere . Always use a dust extraction or sup-
pression system suitable for the material being
worked .

Risks due to repetitive movements

■ When using a sander or polisher to perform
work-related activities, operators may experi-
ence uncomfortable sensations in their hands
and arms, as well as in the neck and shoulders
or other parts of the body .
■ When using a sander or a polisher, the opera-
tor should adopt a comfortable posture whilst
ensuring a secure hold and avoiding awkward
postures or positions in which it is difficult to
maintain balance . The operator should change
positions during the course of long-lasting tasks .
This can be helpful in the prevention of discom-
fort and fatigue .
