d) Take special care when working near corners,
sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the accessory
tool to bounce back from the workpiece or
jam. The rotating accessory tool is more likely
to jam in corners or sharp edges or if it
bounces. This can cause a loss of control or
kickback.
e) Do not use chains or toothed saw blades.
Such accessories often cause a kickback or loss
of control over the power tool.
Special safety instructions
for sanding
a) Use only the sanding accessories approved for
your power tool and the appropriate blade
guard for these sanding tools. Sanding tools
which are not designed for the power tool
cannot be sufficiently shielded and are unsafe.
b) Offset sanding discs must be fitted so that the
sanding surface does not protrude over the
edge of the blade guard. An improperly fitted
sanding disc which protrudes over the edge of
the blade guard cannot be properly guarded.
c) The blade guard must be securely mounted
on the power tool and adjusted to ensure
maximum safety so that the smallest possible
amount of the sanding tool is exposed to the
operator. The blade guard is designed to
protect the operator from fragments, accidental
contact with the sanding tool and sparks that
could ignite clothing.
d) Sanding tools should only be used for the
recommended applications.
For example: Never sand with the side
surface of a cutting disc. Cutting discs are
designed to remove material with the edge of
the disc. Any lateral application of force on
these sanding tools can lead to a breakage.
e) Always use an undamaged clamping flange
of the correct size and shape for the selected
sanding disc. Suitable flanges support the
sanding disc and reduce the risk of a disc
breakage. Flanges for cutting discs can be
different to flanges for other sanding discs.
PWBS 180 B3
f) Do not use worn sanding discs from larger
power tools. Sanding discs for larger power
tools are not designed for the higher rotational
speeds of smaller power tools and can break.
Additional safety instructions
for sandpaper sanding
a) Do not use oversized sanding sheets: follow
the manufacturer's instructions regarding
sanding sheet size. Sanding sheets that
protrude beyond edge of the sanding disc can
cause injury, blockage, tearing of the sanding
sheets or kickback.

WARNING!
Always wear safety goggles.
WARNING!
Always wear a dust mask!
■
Use a suitable detector to locate hidden utility
lines or consult your local utility company.
Contact with electrical lines can cause fires or
electric shocks. Damage to a gas pipeline can
lead to an explosion. Drilling into a water pipe
will cause damage to property and may cause
electric shock.
■
Unlock the On/Off switch and move it to the
off position if the power supply is interrupted,
e.g. due to a power failure or unplugging of
the mains plug. This prevents an uncontrolled
restart.
■
Use the appliance only for dry sanding.
Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
■
Always switch on the electrical power tool
before applying it to the workpiece and do
not switch it off until you have lifted it off the
workpiece. The power tool can move suddenly.
■
Ensure that nobody can be endangered by
flying sparks. Remove all flammable material
from the vicinity. Grinding metal creates flying
sparks.
