• Switch off the power tool immediately if it
produces unusual noises or if you feel unusual
vibration; make sure to contact MENZER Service
immediately.
• Machine operation may generate hazardous/
toxic dusts (e.g. when sanding specific types
of wood or mineral substances). Inhaling or
skin contact with these types of dust may be
hazardous for the machine operator and any
other person within the work area.
Take note of the safety requirements applicable
in your country.
Connect the power tool to an appropriate dust
extraction system.
• The following safety measures must be ad-
hered to when sanding mixed dusts with metal
content (e.g. lacquer processing in the automo-
tive sector). The same applies if sanding in a
moist environment is unavoidable:
– Upstream integration of a fault current (FI,
PRCD)
circuit breaker.
– Connection of an appropriate dust extractor to
the machine.
– Regular use of compressed air to clean the
motor
housing interior of dust deposits.
• Take extra care when working in corners, along
sharp edges, etc. (see also chapter 4.4)
• Prevent sharp impacts and entanglements of
the accessory parts on the workpiece. (see also
chapter 4.4)
• Wear a P2 respiratory mask to protect your
health.
• Always wear protective goggles to protect your
eyes while sanding.
• Caution! Fire hazard! Clean oil-soaked work
materials (e.g. sanding pads or polishing felt
pads) with water and set them out flat to dry. Oil-
soaked work materials can spontaneously ignite.
• Caution! Fire hazard! Avoid overheating of the
workpiece and the sander. Always empty the
dust collection container before taking a work
break. Sanding dust in the filter bag or filter of
the dust extractor can spontaneously ignite
in unfavourable conditions. The fire hazard
increases if the sanding dust mixes with varnish
or polyurethane residues or other chemical
components and the workpiece heats up after an
extended work session.
• Keep the grips and grip areas dry, clean and
free from oil or grease.
4.3 Working environment
• Ensure that there are no other persons at your
workplace or that there is a sufficient safety dis-
tance between you and the next person.
• Any nails, bolts or other metal objects must be
removed from or fully countersunk into the work
surface to prevent damage to the driving disc. This
measure will help prevent power tool damage,
jamming and recoil.
• Attach an appropriate industrial dust extractor
to reduce the dust load.
• Working with electric power tools can negatively
impact your hearing. Wear hearing protection!
• Sanding dust and flying fragments from the
abrasive or the workpiece are a hazard for your
eyesight. Wear protective goggles!
• Sanding dust poses a hazard to airways and
lungs. Wear a protective mask (e.g. a P2 respira-
tory mask)!
• Keep your hands, hair, feet and loose-fitting
clothing away from the driving disc and/or ad-
ditionally protect these.
• Avoid physical contact with grounded surfaces
like radiators or pipes, cookers and refrigerators.
• Wear non-skid work boots.
• Ensure secure footing (good ground contact and
balance) and avoid working too far overhead, as
you might lose your balance.
