adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the
rated air-pressure range.
b.Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible
gases or any bottled gas as an air source for
the tool. Such gases are capable of explosion
and serious injury to persons.
Danger from ejected parts
– In the event the workpiece, accessory or ma-
chine parts break parts may be ejected at high
speed.
– Wear impact-resistant protective goggles.
– Wear a helmet when doing overhead work. Also
assess the risks for other people.
– Secure the workpiece. Use clamping devices or
a vice to hold the workpiece fi rmly.
Risk of getting caught
– Wear suitable protective clothing! Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. They can be caught
by moving parts. Wear a hair net if you have long
hair.
Risks during operation
– Wear protective gloves.
– Operating and maintenance personnel must
be physically strong enough to handle the size,
weight and power of the machine.
– Hold the machine correctly. Prepare to coun-
teract normal or sudden movements - hold the
machine with both hands.
– Avoid abnormal posture. Ensure secure stance
and keep your balance at all times.
– Enable the command device for starting and
shutting down in case of an interruption to the
energy supply.
– The machine can only be operated with abra-
sives which were developed for this purpose.
– Wear protective goggles, protective gloves and
protective clothing.
– Check sanding pad before each use. Do not use
the sanding pad if it is torn, broken or has fallen.
– Avoid direct contact with the sanding pad. Wear
suitable gloves as protection.
– Never use without an abrasive.
– Risk of an electrostatic discharge if the com-
pressed air tool is used on plastic and other
non-conductible materials.
– Potentially explosive atmosphere: If explosive or
self-igniting dust is produced during sanding of
certain materials, the processing instructions
of the material manufacturer must be observed
under all circumstances.
Risk through repeated movements
– The use of the compressed air tool may cause
unpleasant sensations in the hands and arms of
the operator, as well as in the neck and shoulder
area or other body parts.
– Adopt a comfortable posture. Change posture if
working continuously.
– If symptoms such as malaise, complaints, throb-
bing, pain, tingling, numbness, burning or stiff-
ness occur inform your employer and consult a
doctor.
Risk as a result of accessory parts
– Disconnect the compressed air hose from the
compressed air supply. In the event of non-use
of the compressed air tool, before maintenance
and when changing insertion tools.
– Avoid contact with the insertion tool during and
after use.
– Always use original accessories.
– Grinding wheels and cutting-off wheels are not
permitted.
– The permissible rotational speed of the acces-
sory must be at least 1,000 rpm higher than the
maximum speed specifi ed on the machine. Ac-
cessories that rotate faster than the permissible
level can rupture.
– Self-adhesive abrasives must be attached con-
centrically on the sanding pad.
Risk at work station
– Slipping and tripping hazard! Pay attention to
slippery surfaces and tripping hazards as a
result of air pressure hoses.
– Not intended for use in explosive atmospheres
and not insulated against contact with electrical
power sources.
– Proceed with caution in unfamiliar surround-
ings that may contain electrical or other supply
cables that harbour hidden dangers. Ensure that
there are no electrical cables, gas pipelines or
similar that, if damaged, could pose a hazard
when the machine is used.
Hazard as a result of dust and va-
– If hazardous dust is produced during sanding,
the machine should be connected to an ap-
propriate ex-tractor and the safety regulations
that apply to the working material should be
observed.
