Please note the included General Safety Notes and the
following safety notes to avoid malfunctions, damage or
physical injury:
• Please read these operating instructions carefully and use
the unit only in accordance with these instructions.
• Use protective equipment including safety goggles and hea-
ring protection when operating the unit. If operation of the unit causes
discomfort, stop work immediately and investigate the cause.
• Dispose of unused packaging material or store it in a place inaccessible
to children. There is a danger of suffocation!
• Persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities must not
use the appliance unless they are supervised and instructed by a carer.
• Before switching on the grinder, make sure that the locking button is not
activated. Accidental starting of the grinder can cause serious injury.
• Only use the unit for dry grinding. Do not work on wet materials or damp
surfaces. The grinder is not suitable for wet grinding work. Do not use
the appliance for any other purpose.
• Do not use abrasives with precision-moulded ceramic grain. There is a
risk of electric shock.
• Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when sanding. Wear suita-
ble clothing. Take off jewellery and tie up long hair before working. Wear
ear protection.
• Use the dust collection bag when sanding non-metallic materials, espe-
cially when working on materials that produce dust that is hazardous to
health.
• Do not use the dust collection bag when machining metallic workpie-
ces. Using the dust collection bag when machining metal creates a fire
hazard that can damage the tool and cause serious injury.
• Ensure adequate ventilation when machining plastics, paints, varnishes,
etc. Material containing asbestos must not be machined. Harmful/toxic
dusts are produced when sanding e.g. lead-containing paints, some
types of wood and metals. Dust and chips produced can be hazardous
to health, flammable or explosive. Take appropriate protective measures.
