b. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which the tool is de-
signed.
c. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn
the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
d. Disconnect the tool from the air source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing the tool. Such preventive safety mea-
sures reduce the risk of starting the tool uninten-
tionally.
e. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach of chil-
dren and other untrained persons. A tool is dan-
gerous in the hands of untrained users.
f. Maintain the tool with care. Keep a cutting tool
sharp and clean. A properly maintained tool, with
sharp cutting edges reduces the risk of binding
and is easier to control.
g. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condi-
tion that affects the tool's operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many acci-
dents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
h. Use only accessories that are identified by the
manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of
an accessory not intended for use with the spe-
cific tool model, increases the risk of injury to
persons.
4 SERVICE
a. Tool service must be performed only by quali-
fied repair personnel.
b. When servicing a tool, use only identical re-
placement parts. Use only authorized parts.
c. Use only the lubricants supplied with the tool or
specified by the manufacturer.
5 AIR SOURCE
a. Never connect to an air source that is capable of
exceeding 200 psi. Over pressurizing the tool is
able to result in bursting, abnormal operation,
breakage of the tool or serious injury to persons.
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at
the rated pressure or within the rated pressure
range as marked on the tool. Always verify prior
to using the tool that the air source has been ad-
justed to the rated air pressure or within the rated
air-pressure range.
b. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible
gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the
4
tool. Such gases are capable of explosion and se-
rious injury to persons.
Danger from ejected parts
– In the event the workpiece, accessory or machine
parts break parts may be ejected at high speed.
– Wear impact-resistant protective goggles.
– Wear a helmet when doing overhead work. Also
assess the risks for other people.
– Secure the workpiece. Use clamping devices or a
vice to hold the workpiece firmly.
Risk of getting caught
– Wear suitable protective clothing! Do not wear
loose clothing or jewellery. They can be caught by
moving parts. Wear a hair net if you have long
hair.
Risks during operation
– Wear protective gloves.
– Operating and maintenance personnel must be
physically strong enough to handle the size,
weight and power of the machine.
– Hold the machine correctly. Prepare to counter-
act normal or sudden movements - hold the ma-
chine with both hands.
– Avoid abnormal posture. Ensure secure stance
and keep your balance at all times.
– Enable the command device for starting and
shutting down in case of an interruption to the
energy supply.
– The machine can only be operated with abrasives
which were developed for this purpose.
– Use only lubricants recommended by the manu-
facturer.
– Check sanding pad before each use. Do not use
the sanding pad if it is torn, broken or has fallen.
– Avoid direct contact with the sanding pad. Wear
suitable gloves as protection.
– Never use without an abrasive.
– Risk of an electrostatic discharge if the com-
pressed air tool is used on plastic and other non-
conductible materials.
– Potentially explosive atmosphere: If explosive or
self-igniting dust is produced during sanding of
certain materials, the processing instructions of
the material manufacturer must be observed un-
der all circumstances.
Risk through repeated movements
– The use of the compressed air tool may cause
unpleasant sensations in the hands and arms of
