the tool from seizing. Corners, sharp edges
or a jump back tend to cause the rotating tool
to catch, thus leading to a loss of control or a
kickback.
Special safety instructions for fi ne sanding
– Do not use excessively large sanding discs
when fine sanding. Observe the specifications
of the manufacturer when selecting abrasive
discs. A sanding disc that is too large and
protrudes over the sanding pad represents a
cutting injury hazard and can cause catching,
disc tears or kickbacks.
Additional warning notes
– Hold the machine firmly with both hands and
assume a stable stance when performing work.
Hold the machine with both hands to guide more
securely.
– If potentially explosive or self-igniting dust
is produced during sanding, the processing
instructions of the material manufacturer must
be observed under all circumstances.
– Harmful/toxic dusts can be produced during
your work (e.g. lead-containing paint, some
types of wood and metal). Contact with these
dusts, especially inhaling them, can represent a
hazard for operating personnel or persons in the
vicinity. Comply with the safety regulations that
apply in your country. Connect the electric power
tool to a suitable extraction system. To protect
your health, wear a P2 protective mask.
– Never use machines with a damaged cable.
Do not touch damaged cables and pull the
plug from the mains power supply if the cable
becomes damaged during work. Damaged
cables increase the risk of electric shock.
– Use a maximum of two extension pipes on the
machine.

Health hazard by dust

Various dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other con-
struction activities contains chemicals known (to
the State of California) to cause cancer, birth de-
fects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
– Lead from lead-based paints,
– Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products,
– Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber.
The risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals work in a well ventilated
area and use approved safety equip-
ment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to fi lter out mi-
croscopic particles. Wash hands after
handling.
