RE 16-5 115
Do not use chainsaw discs or serrated
cutting discs. Tools/attachments of this kind
frequently lead to kickback or loss of control
over the power tool.
Special safety notices for sandpaper
Do not use oversized sandpaper. Observe
manufacturer's recommendations when
selecting sandpaper size.
Sandpaper that protrudes over the sanding
plate can cause injuries. Doing this can also
cause seizure, ripping of the sandpaper or
kickback.
Special safety notices for planing
Do not work on surfaces with exposed
steel reinforcement. Risk of kickback!
Exercise particular caution when working
in corners, at edges and extreme
transitions. Risk of damage to planing head
and planing wheels.
Do not bring the power tool into operation
unless the planing wheels are free to
rotate.
Only use original FLEX planing heads and
planing wheels. Do not use adapters or
reducing sleeves/attachments.
Additional safety notices
Use only extension cables approved for
outside use.
Sanding lead-based paints is not
recommended. The removal of lead-based
paints should be carried out by a specialist.
Do not work on materials that release
hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos).
Implement safety measures if there is a
danger of dust being generated that is
hazardous to health, combustible or
explosive. Wear a dust mask. Use local
exhaust ventilation.
MATERIAL DAMAGE!
The mains voltage and the voltage
specifications on the rating plate must
correspond.
Noise and vibration
NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this
information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60745 and may be used to compare one
tool with another. It may be used for a
preliminary assessment of exposure. The
declared vibration emission level represents
the main applications of the tool.
However, if the tool is used for different
applications, with different cutting accessories
or poor maintenance, the vibration emission
level may differ. This may significantly
increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
To make an accurate estimation of the vibration
exposure level, it is also necessary to take into
account the times when the tool is switched off
or running but not actually in use. This may
significantly decrease the exposure level over
the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect
the operator from the effects of vibration such
as: tool and accessory maintenance, keep
hands warm, standard operating procedures.
CAUTION!
Wear ear defenders at a sound pressure
above 85 dB(A).
