not precisely mounted to the power tool will
run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may
cause loss of control.
When using application tools with a threaded
insert, take care that the thread in the application
tool is long enough to hold the spindle length of
the power tool. The thread in the application tool
must match the thread on the spindle. Incorrectly
mounted application tools can loosen during
operation and cause injuries.
Off-set sanding sheets must be mounted in such a
manner that their sanding surface does not pro-
ject beyond the plane of the wheel guard edge. An
improperly mounted sanding sheet that projects
beyond the plane of the wheel guard edge can-
not be adequately covered off.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself,
other persons or animals. Danger of injury from
sharp or hot application tools.
Do not machine any material containing asbestos.
Asbestos is cancerogenic.
Use a stationary extraction system, blow out ven-
tilation slots frequently and connect a residual
current device (RCD) on the line side. When wor-
king metal under extreme operating conditions,
it is possible for conductive dust to settle in the
interior of the power tool. The total insulation
of the power tool can be impaired.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs
onto the power tool. If the insulation is damaged,
protection against an electric shock will be inef-
fective. Adhesive labels are recommended.
Always work using the auxiliary handle. The auxi-
liary handle ensures reliable guidance of the
power tool.
Before putting into operation, check the mains
connection and the mains plug for damage.
Recommendation: Always operate the power tool
via a residual current device (RCD) with a rated
residual current of 30 mA or less.
Handling hazardous dusts
For work procedures with this power tool
where material is removed, dusts develop that
can be hazardous to one's health. Contact with
or inhaling some dust types, e.g. asbestos and
asbestos-containing materials, lead-containing
coatings, metal, some wood types, minerals, sili-
cate particles from materials containing stone,
paint solvents, wood preservatives, antifouling
paints for vessels, can trigger allergic reactions to
the operator or bystanders and/or lead to respi-
ratory infections, cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. The risk from inhaling dusts
depends on the exposition. Use dust extraction
matched appropriately for the developing dust,
as well as personal protective equipment and
provide for good ventilation of the workplace.
Leave the processing of asbestos-containing
materials to specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of san-
ding dust and chemical materials can self-ignite
under unfavourable conditions or cause an
explosion. Avoid sparking in the direction of the
dust collector as well as overheating of the
power tool and the materials being sanded,
empty the dust collector/container in time,
observe the material manufacturer's working
instructions, as well as the relevant regulations in
your country for the materials being worked.
