• 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 instructions for belt grinders
• 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.
• Only hold the device by the insulated gripping
areas, as the grinding belt can hit its own
power cable. Contact with a cable that carries
power will subject the metal parts of the device to
current and will lead to electrical shock.
• Use the electrical tool for dry sanding only.
The risk of electric shock increases if water pene-
trates an electrical product.
• Only hold the electrical tool to the workpiece
when it is switched on and only switch it off
after lifting the tool off the workpiece. The
electrical tool may suddenly move.
• Never touch the running grinding belt. Risk of
injury.
• Make sure that no persons are endangered by
flying sparks. Move flammable materials from
the vicinity. Sparks are generated during the
grinding of metals.
• Do not use worn, torn or badly damaged sand-
ing belts. Damaged grinding belt can tear, be
flung away and injure someone.
• 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.
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.
