• The battery can be damaged by pointed
objects such as nails or screwdrivers or by
force applied externally. An internal short circuit
may occur, causing the battery to burn, smoke,
explode or overheat.
• Protect the battery against heat, e.g. against
continuous intense sunlight, fire, dirt, water
and moisture. There is a risk of explosion and
short-circuiting.
Safety information for chargers
• Keep the charger away from rain and wet.
The risk of electric shock increases if water pene-
trates a charging device.
• Keep the charging device clean. Soiling
involves the danger of an electric shock.
• Check the charging device, cable and plug
before each use. Do not use the charging device
if you detect any damage.
• Do not open the charging device yourself and
only have it repaired by qualified profession-
als and only with original spare parts. Dam-
aged charging devices, cables and plugs
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the charging device on easily flam-
mables items (e.g. paper, textiles etc.) or in
combustible atmospheres. There is a danger of
fire due to the heating of the charging device dur-
ing the charging process.
• Supervise children and make sure that they do
not play with the charger. Children and per-
sons with mental or physical restrictions may
only use the charger under supervision or
after having been instructed how to use it.
Careful instruction reduces the risk of incorrect
operation and injuries.
Safety information for random orbital sanders
• This electrical tool is to be used as a sander.
Observe all safety information, instructions,
illustrations and data you receive with the
electrical tool. Non-observance of the following
instructions can lead to electric shock, fire and/or
serious injuries.
• Do not use any accessory that has not been
provided and recommended by the manufac-
turer specially for this electrical tool. Just
because the accessories can be fixed on your
electrical tool, no secured use is ensured.
• Use the electrical tool for dry sanding only.
The risk of electric shock increases if water pene-
trates an electrical product.
• Warning – risk of fire! Avoid overheating of
the sander and the material being processed.
Always empty the dust container before
breaks. Grinding dust in the dust container (or in
the filter of the suction unit) can automatically
ignite in unfavourable conditions.
• Inform yourself with regard to the surface to
be sanded and the dusts and vapours poten-
tially arising. If in any doubt, do not inhale
even small amounts of arising dusts or
vapours. Harmful/toxic dusts may arise when
sanding certain surfaces (various metals, miner-
als or woods as well as weather protection coat-
ings), which can cause severe allergic reactions
28
or serious illness. Do not inhale these dusts and
vapours and avoid contact. Materials containing
asbestos may only be processed by specialists.
Special safety notes regarding sandpaper
sanding
• Do not use over dimensioned sanding sheets,
instead following the manufacturer's instruc-
tions regarding size. Sanding sheets that pro-
trude beyond the sanding plate may cause inju-
ries, jamming and tearing of the sheets or cause
kickback.
Special safety notes regarding polishing
• Do not permit parts of the polishing hood to be
loose, in particular, fixing cords. Conceal or
shorten fixing cords. Loose, rotating fixing
cords may catch your fingers or get trapped in the
work piece.
Additional safety information
• Prevent uncontrolled starting up. Switch the
product off or pull out the plug if the power supply
is interrupted, e.g. due to a power failure.
• Secure the workpiece. The workpiece can be
protected from rebounding or from being flung
away uncontrollably by a clamping mechanism or
a vice (e.g. if the tool becomes jammed).
• Keep the workplace clean. Mixed contamina-
tion by different substances is particularly danger-
ous. Light metal dust (e.g. aluminium) can easily
ignite or explode.
• Do not use the electrical tool with a damaged
cable. Never touch a damaged cable and
immediately pull out the plug. Damaged
cables increase the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid overheating the device and workpiece.
Excess heat can damage both tool and product.
• Keep the handles dry and free from grease.
Slippery handles can cause accidents.
• Always heed the applicable national and inter-
national safety, health and labour regula-
tions. Before commencing work, inform yourself
regarding the regulations valid at the location
where the product is to be used.
• Remember that moving parts may also be located
behind ventilation and venting slots.
• Remember that moving parts may also be located
behind ventilation and venting slots.
Dust extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing paint,
some types of wood, minerals and metal may be
harmful to health. Touching of inhaling the dusts can
cause allergic reactions and/or ailments of the res-
piratory tract of the user or persons in the vicinity.
Certain dusts such as oak or beech dust are consid-
ered carcinogenic, particularly in combination with
wood treatment additives (chromate, wood preserva-
tives). Materials containing asbestos may only be
processed by experts.
– Always use a dust extraction facility.
– Make sure the workplace is well ventilated.
– Always wear a dust protection mask.
– Observe the regulations valid in your country for
the materials to be processed.
