4. General safety information

WARNING – Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety warnings
and instructions may result in an electric shock, fire and/
or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for future
reference.
Pass on your power tool only together with these
documents.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool.
Follow the enclosed brochure "General safety
instructions for power tools".

5. Special safety instructions

• Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping
surfaces only when performing an operation where
the accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a „live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
„live" and shock the operator.
• Sparks fly when grinding metals. Make sure that
no people are endangered. Due to the risk of fire, no
flammable materials may be nearby (flying sparks).
• Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
• When processing, especially metals, conductive
dust can accumulate inside the machine. This can
lead to the transfer of electrical energy to the machine
housing. This can justify the temporary danger of an
electric shock. It is therefore necessary to blow out
the machine regularly, frequently and thoroughly
with compressed air through the rear ventilation slots
when the machine is running. The machine must be
held securely.
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be
attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe
operation.
• 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.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
If a power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After
inspecting and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this test
time.
• 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 protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris generated
by various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated by
your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear
personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may
fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of
operation.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory.
If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning
accessory.
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory
has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
• Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory
could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into
your body.
• Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The
motor's fan will draw the dust inside the housing
and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards.
