2.1 instructions for power safety
• This machine may be connected ONLY to sockets
that provide the operating voltage displayed on
the machine's identification label, and that are
grounded in accordance with all applicable regula-
tions.
• Make sure the power switch is in the OFF posi-
tion before you insert the power connector into
the power socket.
• Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, stoves and refrigerators.
There is a high risk of receiving an electric shock if
your body is grounded.
• Do not allow the scouring machine to come into
contact with water, e.g. rain or other wetness or
dampness. Water that seeps in could cause the
machine to short-circuit, and damage it irrepara-
bly. Furthermore, this poses the risk of an electric
shock for the user.
• Keep the power cable away from the scouring
head so that no damage is caused to the cable's
insulation. Never attempt to make alterations to
the plug connector or other machine parts with
electrical contact.
• Should you need to use an extension cable, it
must have an adequate conductor cross-section
(2,5 mm
) to prevent voltage drop or overheat-
2
ing. If you intend to use the scouring machine
outdoors, the extension cable you use must also
be suitable for outdoor use.

• Do not use the power cable as a means of car-
rying or hanging the scouring machine. Do not
pull on the cable when you wish to disconnect the
scouring machine from the power supply. Keep
the cable away from sharp edges, heat and oil.
• If the power cable is damaged, have it replaced
by a trained professional. Do not attempt to use
the scouring machine when there are signs of
damage to the cable.
2.2 Safety in your working environment
• Ensure that your place of work is always well-
aired and well-lit so as to avoid potential accidents.
In order to minimise dust levels, attach a compat-
ible industrial vacuum cleaner to the sander.
• Should there be risk of an explosion in your
place of work (e.g. due to dust, flammable liquids
or gases), it is essential that you do not operate
the scouring machine. Should sparks be produced,
the consequences could be fatal.
• Ensure that there are no other people in your
working environment (children in particular) who
could distract you while scouring.
• If you do not intend to attach an industrial
vacuum cleaner to the scouring machine, you
should make sure your place of work is properly
aired so as to reduce dust levels.
