• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools
with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-
related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a sec-
ond.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable,
from the power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool acciden-
tally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check
for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If dam-
aged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly main-
tained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.

• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unex-
pected situations.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
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
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).
