instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
• Operations such as polishing or cut-off
are not recommended to be performed
with this power tool. Operations for which
the power tool was not designed may create
a hazard and cause personal injury.
• Never use accessories that were not
specially developed and intended for this
machine. Just because an accessory part can
be fi tted on your machine does not guarantee
danger-free operation.
• The permissible rotational speed of the
accessory must be at least as high as
the maximum speed specifi ed on the
machine. Accessories that rotate faster than
the permissible level can rupture.
• The outside diameter and the thickness
of accessories must be within the speci-
fi ed size range of the machine. Acces-
sories with incorrect dimensions cannot be
suffi ciently protected or controlled.
• The bore diameter of discs, flanges,
support plates and all other accessories
must fi t the machine spindle exactly.
Accessories with an unsuitable diameter are
out of round, vibrate excessively and lead to
loss of control.
• Do not use damaged accessories. Before
use, always check accessories such as
sanding pads for nicks or cracks and
check support plates for cracks and ex-
cessive wear. Every time the machine is
dropped, check the machine and acces-
sories for damage, or install undamaged
accessories. Following the check and
assembly of accessories, ensure that all
persons are beyond the rotating range
of the tool and run the machine for one
minute at maximum speed. Damage ac-
cessories usually break completely during this
test time.
• Wear personal protective equipment. De-
pending on the application, use a shield
or protective goggles. If practical, wear
a breathing mask, ear protectors, safety
gloves and a work apron suitable to pro-
tect against impact or small sanding or
workpiece parts. The protective goggles
must be capable of blocking fl ying debris
caused by the various work operations. The
breathing mask or device must be capable
of fi ltering particles generated during work.
Continuous exposure to loud noise can cause
loss of hearing.
• Ensure that persons standing near the
machine are at a safe distance from the
work area. All persons in the work area
