For your safety.
Do not use this machine before you have tho-
roughly read and completely understood this Ins-
truction Manual and the enclosed "General Safety
Instructions" (document number 3 41 30 054 06
1), including the figures, specifications and safety regulati-
ons.
Please also observe the relevant national regulations on
electrical safety and occupational safety.
Non-observance of the safety instructions in the said
documentation can lead to an electric shock, burns
and/or severe injuries.
This Instruction Manual should be kept for later use and
enclosed with the power tool, should it be passed on or
sold.
Intended use of the machine.
The belt grinder with undercarriage is intended for grin-
ding metal floor surfaces (except magnesium) using the
grinding belts approved by FEIN in weather-protected
environments.
Special safety instructions.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on appli-
cation, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses.
Where 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 opera-
tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may
cause hearing loss.
Before switching on, make sure that all clamping levers
of the undercarriage are well tightened. If the machine
suddenly drops or lowers during the working procedure,
this can lead to serious accidents.
Work only on horizontal surfaces. On sloped surfaces,
loss of control over the machine is possible.
During the working procedure, always conduct the exten-
sion cable away from the workplace. If the power cord is
run over, crushed or damaged, there is danger of electric
shock!
Before connecting to the mains supply, make sure that
the belt grinder is switched OFF (the 0 button on the
safety switch must be pressed!). Connect the extension
cable to the plug (21). Conduct the extension cable
through the cable guide (22).
While working, do not wear loose clothing, jewellery or
open, long hair. Despite protective devices, loose objects
can be snagged or caught by moving parts and lead to
injury.
Do not use worn, torn or heavily clogged grinding belts.
Handle grinding belts carefully and store them according
to the manufacturer's instructions. Do not bend or fold
grinding belts! Damaged grinding belts can tear, be flung
away and injure someone.
Do not use grinding belts or other accessories which are
not specifically designed and recommended by the power
tool manufacturer. Safe operation is not ensured merely
because a grinding belt or accessory fits your machine.
Always use the protective devices attached on the
machine. The protective devices must be securely moun-
ted to the machine in order to achieve maximum safety.
The protective devices are supposed to protect the user
from grinding particles thrown from the machine and
from accidental contact with the grinding belt.
Warning! Danger of fire and explosion! When grinding
metals (e.g., aluminium), dust develops that may be com-
bustible or explosive. Do not operate the machine near
flammable materials. Sparks could cause these materials
to ignite.
Pay attention that other persons are not put at risk from
sparking. Remove flammable materials in close vicinity.
Sparking occurs when grinding metal.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.
Anyone entering the work area must wear personal pro-
tective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a bro-
ken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
The surface being worked can become very hot. Do not
touch it with your hands.
Never touch the running grinding belt. Danger of
injury.
In situations of danger, immediately press the safety
pushbutton. The machine runs on for approx. 50
seconds.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at regu-
lar intervals using non-metal tools. The blower of the
motor draws dust into the housing. An excessive accu-
mulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
The mains plug of the machine may be mounted only by
a qualified electrician. The protective conductor in the
mains socket outlet must be connected with the protec-
tive earthing of the mains supply.
Pull out the mains plug for maintenance and repair!
Switching the machine on unintentionally can lead to
serious injuries.
Have the electrical safety of the machine checked regu-
larly in accordance with statutory regulations. For machi-
nes that have not been checked, there may be danger of
electrical shock!
Check the rotation direction of the motor before starting
the operation of the machine for the first time. If the rota-
tion direction of the motor is incorrect, the workpiece
can be thrown from the machine and cause an accident.
The rotation direction may be changed only by a qualifie-
delectrician.
Make sure that you or other persons are not standing
directly next to the grinding belt when switching the
machine on. The grinding belt can tear apart and cause
serious injuries.
