WARNING!
Risk of severe injuries.
Always wear safety goggles.
¾
▸
Use flexible underlays if these are supplied with
the abrasive and when they are required.
▸
Observe the instructions of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect the wheels and discs from
grease and run-out!
▸
Accessories must be stored and handled with
care in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
▸
The workpiece must be resting on a stable sur-
face and secured to prevent slipping, e.g. using
clamping devices.
▸
Large workpieces must be adequately sup-
ported.
▸
During machining, particularly of metals, con-
ductive dust can become deposited inside the
device. This can result in electrical energy being
transmitted to the device housing. This can pose
a transient risk of electric shock. It is therefore
necessary to regularly, frequently and thoroughly
blow out the device with compressed air through
the rear ventilation slots with the device running.
Hold the device firmly while doing so.
▸
We recommend the installation of a stationary
extractor system and a residual-current circuit
breaker (RCD). When the polisher is shut down
via the RCD, the device must be checked and
cleaned.
▸
The ventilation openings must remain clear when
working in dusty conditions. Should it become
necessary to remove the dust, the electric tool
must first be disconnected from the electricity
supply network (use non-metallic objects) and
avoid damaging internal parts.
▸
Damaged or vibrating tools or tools with run-out
must not be used.
▸
Pull the plug out of the plug socket before
carrying out any adjustments, retooling or
maintenance.
▸
Replace a damaged or cracked auxiliary
handle. Do not operate the device with a defec-
tive auxiliary handle.
Special safety instructions
▸
A damaged or cracked hand guard must be
replaced. Do not operate the device with a
defective hand guard.
▸
Particulates that arise when working with this de-
vice may contain substances, which could cause
cancer, allergic reactions, respiratory illnesses,
birth defects or other mutagenic effects.
▸
Typical of these substances are lead (in lead-con-
taining paint), mineral dust (from bricks, con-
crete, etc.), wood treatment additives (chromate,
wood preservative), some types of wood (oak or
beech dust), metals, asbestos.
▸
The risk depends on how long the user or per-
sons in the vicinity are exposed to the load.
▸
Do not swallow or inhale particles.
▸
To reduce the loading from these substances,
ensure good ventilation of the place of work and
wear suitable protective equipment, e.g. dust
masks that are capable of filtering out micro-
scopic small particulates.
▸
Observe the directives applicable for your ma-
terial, personnel, application and place of use
(e.g. health and safety regulations, disposal).
▸
Capture the particulates generated at the place
of origin, do not allow them to be deposited in
the surroundings.
▸
Use accessories suitable for special work. This
will reduce the uncontrolled escape of particu-
lates into the surroundings.
▸
Use a suitable dust extraction system.
▸
Reduce the dust load by:
— Ensuring the escaping flow of particulates
and exhaust air from the device is not directed
towards yourself or towards other persons in the
vicinity or towards settled dust.
— Use an extractor system and/or an air cleaner,
— Provide good workplace ventilation and keep
clean by vacuuming. Sweeping or blowing
swirls up dust.
— Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not
blow, hit or brush.
