• Warning: Danger of fire! Avoid overheating
the workpiece and the sander. Always empty
the dust collector before taking a break from
work. Sanding dust in the dust bag, microfilter,
paper bag (or in the filter bag or vacuum cleaner
filter) can spontaneously combust under certain
conditions, for example if flying sparks are cre-
ated when sanding metals. This risk is increased
if the sanding dust is mixed with paint or polyure-
thane residue or with other chemical substances
and if the workpiece is hot as a result of prolonged
work.
• Water entering a power tool increases the risk
of electric shock. Do not treat the surface you
will be working on with any fluids that contain sol-
vents.
• Poisonous vapours may develop due to the
materials heating up when being scraped.
Take particular care when handling scrapers and
blades.
• The application tools are very sharp. Danger
of injury.
• You should also ensure good ventilation of the
workplace.
• We also recommend wearing a protective mask.
• Observe the regulations that are applicable in
your country with regard to the materials to pro-
cessed.
• Use a dust extraction system if possible. Reg-
ularly blow the ventilation slots clean. When
processing metals, conductive dust may become
deposited into the power tool. This may influence
the protective insulation of the power tool.
Additional safety notes
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces when performing an operation where
the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring or
its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live"
and shock the operator.
• 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. A work piece secured
using clamps or a vice is held more safely than
one held by hand.
• 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.
• Never use the power tool with a damaged
cable. Do not touch a damaged cable and pull
out the power plug immediately. 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.
• Always comply with the all applicable domes-
tic and international safety, health, and work-
ing regulations. Inform yourself before you start
work about the regulations that apply at the site of
the device.
• Remember that moving parts may also be located
behind ventilation and venting slots.
• Symbols appearing on your device may not be
removed or covered. Signs on the device that are
no longer legible must be replaced immediately.
Read and observe the instructions for use
before using the product for the first time.
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.
Risks caused by vibrations
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to vibra-
tions! Vibrations may, in particular for per-
sons with circulation problems, cause dam-
age to blood vessels and/or nerves.
If you notice any of the following symptoms,
stop working immediately and consult a doc-
tor. Numbness of body parts, loss of sense
of feeling, itching, pins and needles, pain,
changes in skin colour.
The vibration values specified in the technical data
represent the main uses of the device. The actual
existing vibrations during use may deviate from these
as a result of the following factors:
• Incorrect use of the product;
• Unsuitable tools inserted;
• Unsuitable material;
• Insufficient maintenance.
You can reduce the risks considerably by following
the tips below:
– Maintain the device in accordance with the
instructions in the operating instructions.
– Avoid working at low temperatures.
– When it is cold, make sure your body and your
hands, in particular, are kept warm.
– Take regular breaks and move your hands at the
same time to promote circulation.
