d The permitted revolutions of the
tool insert must be at least as high
as the highest revolutions specified
on the electrical tool. Accessories
that turn faster than is permitted may
be destroyed.
e The external diameter and
thickness of the tool insert must
match the dimensions of your
electrical tool. Incorrectly measured
tool inserts cannot be properly
protected or checked.
f Sanding discs, flange, sanding
plate or other accessories must fit
precisely onto the sanding spindle
of your electrical tool. Tool inserts
that do not fit precisely into the
sanding spindle of the electrical tool
will rotate unevenly, vibrate very
heavily and may lead to a loss of
control.
g Do not use damaged tool inserts.
Before each use, check the tool
inserts such as sanding discs for
splits and tears, sanding plates for
tears or wear or weaknesses, wire
brushes for loose or broken wires. If
the electrical tool or tool insert is
dropped, check to make sure it is
not damaged, or use an undamaged
tool insert. After checking and
installing the tool insert, make sure
that you and anybody else in the
vicinity are outside the area of the
rotating tool insert and allow the tool
to rotate at top speed for a minute. A
damaged tool insert will usually break
within this test period.
h Wear personal protective gear.
Depending on application, use full
face protection, visor or goggles.
Where appropriate, wear dust
protection masks, ear defenders,
protective gloves or special aprons
to keep the tiny grinding and
material particles away. The eyes
should be protected from the flying
objects that are generated by the
various applications. Dust or
breathing masks should be capable of
filtering dust when the unit is used for
a purpose during which dust is
generated. If you are exposed to loud
noises for a longer period of time, you
hearing may suffer.
i Ensure that other people are kept
at a safe distance to the area in
which you are working. Anyone
who enters the working area should
be wearing personal protective
gear. Pieces of the workpiece or
broken tools may be thrown up and
cause injury even outside the
immediate working area.
j Hold the tool by the insulated
handle surfaces only when carrying
out tasks during which is it
possible that the tools will come
across hidden power cables or its
own cable. Contact with a power-
carrying cable can also put metal
parts of the unit under power and
cause an electric shock.
k Keep the main power cable away
from rotating tools. If you loose
control of the unit, the power cable
may be cut or caught up and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the
rotating tool.
l Never set the electrical tool down
before the tool insert has come to a
complete standstill. The rotating tool
insert may come into contact with the
resting surface and cause you to
loose control of the electrical tool.
m Never operate the electrical tool
while you are carrying it. Your
