Safety Warnings Specific for
Polishing
Loose parts on the polishing guard,
■
especially the fastening cords, are not
permitted. Tuck away or shorten the
fastening cords. Loose, spinning fastening
cords may make contact with your fingers or
become caught in the workpiece.
Additional Safety Instructions
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the abrasive and if required.
Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect the discs from grease or
impacts!
Accessories must be stored and handled with care
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured
against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large work-
pieces must be sufficiently supported.
For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that
are marked with this symbol!
Always wear protective
goggles.
During machining, of metals in particular, conduc-
tive dust can form deposits inside the machine.
This can lead to the transfer of electrical energy
onto the machine housing. This can mean a
temporary danger of electric shocks. This is why it
is necessary when the machine is running to blow
compressed air through the rear ventilation slots of
the machine regularly, frequently and thoroughly.
Here, the machine must be held firmly.
We recommend using a stationary extractor
system and connecting a residual current circuit-
breaker (FI) upstream. When the polisher is shut
down via the FI circuit-breaker, it must be checked
and cleaned.
Safety instructions
See chapter Maintenance / Care for more infor-
mation on cleaning the motor.
Dust from materials such as lead-containing paint
and metal may be harmful to health.
Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause
allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to
the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust
are classified as carcinogenic. Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
Where the use of a dust extraction device is pos-
■
sible it shall be used.
The work place must be well ventilated.
■
The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recom-
■
mended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you
want to work with.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may
be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be
processed.
When working in dusty conditions, ensure
that ventilation openings are not blocked. If it
becomes necessary to remove dust, first discon-
nect the power tool from the mains supply (use
nonmetallic objects) and avoid damaging internal
components.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
Connect a FI circuit-breaker with max.
release current (30 mA) upstream when using the
machine outdoors!
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defec-
tive additional handle.
A damaged or cracked hand guard must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defec-
tive hand guard.
Use only genuine Würth accessories
■
and spare parts.
