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 working with
wire brushes
• Please note that wire brushes will loose wire
bristles during normal operation. Do not over-
load the wires by applying too high a pres-
sure. Flying wire bristles may easily pass through
very thing clothing and/or skin.
• If a protective good is recommended, make
sure that the hood and the wire brush do not
make contact. Wheel and cup brushes may
increase in diameter as a result of pressure and
centrifugal forces.
Additional safety notes
• Prior to starting work, use appropriate tool to
determine whether there are any hidden sup-
ply lines are located on the area you are work-
ing in. If in doubt, ask the relevant supply ser-
vices. Contact with power lines may cause fire
and electrical shock. Damaging a gas pipe may
cause an explosion. Damaging a water pipe leads
to considerable property damage and may cause
electrical shock.
• Secure the work piece. Use tensioning equip-
ment or a vice to secure the work piece to help
prevent kickback or uncontrolled flying of the work
piece (e.g. when getting jammed in the work
piece).
• Keep your workplace clean. Mixed contamina-
tion by various materials is particularly danger-
ous. Light metal dust (e.g. aluminium) can ignite
or explode easily.
• Inform yourself about the surface to be
sanded and any dusts and vapours that may
be generated. If in doubt, do not breath in even
small amounts of the generated dusts and
vapours. When sanding certain surfaces (vari-
ous metals, minerals or woods as well as weather
protecting paints) damaging/poisonous dusts may
be generated which can cause allergic reactions
or serious illness. Do not breathe these dusts and
vapours in and avoid all contact. Materials con-
taining asbestos may only be processed by spe-
cialists.
• Never use the power too with a damaged
cable. Do not touch a damaged cable and pull
out the power plug. Damaged cables increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Prevent overheating of the device and the
work piece. Excess heat may damage the tool
and the device.
• Shortly after being used, the tool may be very
hot. Allow a hot tool to cool down. Touching a
hot tool may cause burns.
• Never clean a hot tool with flammable liquids.
There is a risk of fire and explosion.
• Keep the handles dry and free of grease. Slip-
pery handles can lead to accidents.
