• Inform yourself about the surface to be
sanded and any dusts and vapours that may
be generated. If in doubt, do not breath in
even small amounts of the generated dusts
and vapours. When sanding certain surfaces
(various metals, minerals or woods as well as
weather protecting paints) damaging/poisonous
dusts may be generated which can cause allergic
reactions or serious illness. Do not breathe these
dusts and vapours in and avoid all contact. Mate-
rials containing asbestos may only be processed
by specialists.

cable. Do not touch a damaged cable and pull
out the power plug. Damaged cables increase
the risk of electric shock.

work piece. Excess heat may damage the tool
and the device.
• Shortly after being used, the tool may be very
hot. Allow a hot tool to cool down. Touching a
