Keep bystanders a safe distance away from
work area. Anyone entering the work area
must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
Keep the power cord away from the grinding
belt. When losing control over the machine,
the power cord can be cut through or get
caught, and your hand or arm can come in
contact with the grinding belt.
Do not run the power tool while carrying it at
your side. Your clothing may get caught
through accidental contact with the grinding
belt and cause injuries.
Handling hazardous dusts.
When working with power
WARNING
tools, such as when grind-
ing, sanding, polishing, sawing or for other
work procedures where material is
removed, dusts develop that are both haz-
ardous to one's health and can spontane-
ously combust or be explosive.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types
can trigger allergic reactions to the operator
or bystanders and/or lead to respiratory
infections, cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm.
Examples of such materials which contain
chemicals that can produce hazardous dusts,
are:
– Asbestos and materials containing asbes-
tos;
– Lead-containing coatings, some wood
types such as beech and oak;
– Minerals and metal;
– Silicate particles from bricks, concrete
and other materials containing stone;
– Solvent from solvent-containing paint/
varnish;
– Arsenic, chromium and other wood pre-
servatives;
– Materials for pesticide treatment on boat
and ship hulls;
– Stainless steel dust, metal dust and non-
ferrous metal dust;
Make sure that the sanding belt is mounted
in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions. Mounted sanding belts must be
able to rotate freely. Incorrectly mounted
sanding belts can become loose during oper-
ation and be thrown from the machine.
Do not operate the power tool with wet or
moist hands.
Before putting into operation, check the
power connection and the power plug for
damage.
Recommendation: The tool should always be
supplied with power via a ground fault cir-
cuit interrupter (GFCI) with a rated current
of 30 mA or less.
To minimize the unwanted intake of these
materials:
– Use dust extraction matched appropri-
ately for the developing dust.
– Use personal protective equipment, such
as a P2 filter-class dust protection mask.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
place.
The risk from inhaling dusts depends on
how often these materials are worked.
Materials containing asbestos may only be
worked on by specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust
CAUTION
can cause spontaneous com-
bustion or explosions.
Hot mixtures of sanding dust and paint/var-
nish remainders or other chemical materials
in the filter bag or the vac filter can self-ignite
under unfavorable conditions, such as spark-
ing from sanding metal, continuous sunlight
or high ambient temperatures. To prevent
this:
– Avoid overheating the material being
sanded and the power tool.
– Empty the dust collector/container in
time.
– Observe the material manufacturer's
working instructions.
– Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials being worked.
