4. Intended use
The grinder/sander is a combination device for the
coarse and fine grinding/sanding of metals, woods
of all kinds and other materials using the appropriate
grinding/sanding wheel or belt.
The machine may only be used with grinding/sanding
wheels or belts which are suitable for it and comply
with the characteristic data in these instructions. The
machine is allowed to be used only for it intended
purpose! Even when the equipment is used as pre-
scribed it is still impossible to eliminate certain residual
risk factors. The following hazards may arise in con-
nection with the machine's construction and layout:
• Contact with the grinding wheel where it is not cov-
ered.
• Catapulting parts out of damaged grinding wheels.
• Catapulting of workpieces and parts of workpieces.
• Damage to hearing if essential ear-muffs are not
used.
• Harmful emissions of wood dust when used in
closed rooms.
• The rotating parts of the device cannot be covered
for functional reasons. Therefore you must exercise
care and hold the workpiece firmly to prevent it slip-
ping which could result in your hands coming into
contact with the grinding/sanding belt.
The equipment is allowed to be used only for its pre-
scribed purpose. Any other use is deemed to be a case
of misuse. The user/operator and not the manufacturer
will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind re-
sulting from such misuse.
Please note that our equipment has not been designed
for use in commercial, trade or industrial applications.
Our warranty will be voided if the equipment is used in
commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equiv-
alent purposes.
5. Safety information
General power tool safety warnings
m WARNING!
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra-
tions and specifications provided with this power
tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future ref-
erence.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat-
ed (cordless) power tool.
1. Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at-
mospheres, such as in the presence of flam-
mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create
sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while op-
erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Nev-
er modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec-
tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con-
ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords in-
crease the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of
a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.
