4.3 Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturer's recommen-
dations when selecting sanding paper. Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may cause snag-
ging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
4.4 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.
4.5 Safety Warnings Specific for Wire
Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive load
to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate
light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work load
and centrifugal forces.
4.6 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!
Accessories must be stored and handled with care
in accordance with the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
Ensure that accessories are installed in accord-
ance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The tool continues running after the machine has
been switched off.
When sanding and working with the lambskin
polishing disc with cord drive always work with the
hand protection guard installed.
Do not use separate reducing bushings or
adapters to adapt tools with a large hole.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured
against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large work-
pieces must be sufficiently supported.
If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the
end of the spindle may not touch the base of the
hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread
in the accessory is long enough to accommodate
the full length of the spindle. The thread in the
accessory must match the thread on the spindle.

See page 2 and chapter 16 Technical Specifica-
tions for more information on the spindle length
and thread.
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.
Use of a fixed extractor system is recommended.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead,
some wood species, minerals and metal may be
harmful. 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
such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunc-
tion with additives for wood conditioning (chro-
mate, wood preservative). Material containing
asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
- Where the use of a dust extraction device is
possible it shall be used.
- The work place must be well ventilated.
- The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is
recommended.
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 remove the battery
pack (use non-metallic objects) and avoid
damaging internal components.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be
used.
A damaged or cracked additional handle must be
replaced. Never operate a machine with a defec-
tive additional handle.
Only use the machine if the protective cover is in
place.
Always guide the machine with both hands on the
handles provided
4.7 Safety instructions for battery packs:
Protect battery packs from water and
moisture!
Do not expose battery packs to naked
flame!
Do not use faulty or deformed battery packs!
Do not open battery packs!
Do not touch or short-circuit battery packs!
