• 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.
Shared safety notes regarding grinding,
sandpaper sanding, working with wire brushes,
polishing and abrasive cutting.
• This power tool is to be used as an sandpaper
grinder, sandpaper sander, wire brush, pol-
isher and abrasive cutting tool. Observe all
the safety notes, instructions, representations
and data received with the power tool. If you
do not observe the following instructions, electri-
cal shock, film and/or serious injuries may be the
result.
• Do not use accessories that have not been
designed and recommended by the manufac-
turer for this specific power tool. Just because
you are able to attach an accessory to your power
tool this does not guarantee that it is safe to use.
• The permitted revolutions of the tool must be
at least as high as the highest revolutions
specified on the power tool. Accessories that
rotate faster than they are permitted to may break
and fly.
• The external diameter and thickness of the
tool must match the dimensional specification
of your power tool. Incorrectly dimensioned
tools cannot be sufficiently shielded or controlled.
• Sanding discs, flanges, sanding plates or
other accessories must fit precisely to the
sanding spindle of your power tool. Tools that
do not fit precisely to the sanding spindle of the
power tool will rotate unevenly, vibrate heavily
and may cause loss of control over the device.
• Do not use damaged tools. Before each use,
check tools like sanding discs for chips and
tears, sanding plates for tears, wear or heavy
use, wire brushes for loose or broken bristles.
If the power tool or the tool itself are dropped,
check to see whether it is damaged or use an
undamaged tool. When you have checked and
inserted the tool, ensure that you and any
other people in the vicinity are out of the
sphere of influence of the rotating tool and
operate the power tool for a minute at the
highest revolutions. Damaged tools will usually
break within this test period.
• Wear personal safety gear. Depending on the
work you are doing, wear a full-face visor,
visor or protective goggles. If appropriate,
wear a dust mask, ear defenders, protective
gloves or a special apron designed to keep
sanding and material particles away from
you. Your eyes should be protected from the fly-
ing objects that may be generated during various
applications. Dust or breathing masks must be
capable of filtering the dust generated during
operation. If you are exposed to loud noise for
extended periods, you may suffer a loss of hear-
ing.
