Safety Instructions
J
When working outdoors, use only extension
cords which are certified for use outdoors. The
use of an extension cable suitable for employ-
ment outdoors reduces the risk of electrical shock.
J
Warning! - Never open the appliance.
Arrange for repair or component replacement
work to be carried out by the service centre or
specialists for electrical repairs.
Safety of Personnel
J
Always be alert and aware of what you are
doing. Work sensibly with an electrical hand
tool. Do not use the appliance if you are unable
to concentrate or tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication. Just a simple
lapse of attention while using an electrical
hand tool is sufficient to lead to serious injuries.
J
Wear personal protective gear and
always wear safety goggles. De-
pending on the use of the electrical
appliance, wearing personal protective
equipment, such as dust masks, anti-slip safety
shoes, protective gloves, safety helmet, and ear
protection may reduce the risk of injuries.
J
Avoid accidental start of the appliance. Ensure
the switch is in the "OFF" position before
inserting the plug into the power socket. Never
touch the ON / OFF switch while carrying
the appliance, never switch the appliance on
before connecting it to the power supply - this
may cause an accident.
J
Do not overestimate yourself. Ensure you position
yourself securely and you are balanced at all
times. This allows much better control over the
appliance, especially in unexpected situations.
J
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Wear a hair net if you
have long hair. Loose clothing and clothing that
is not tight against the body, as well as jewellery
and hair can be caught by moving parts.
J
Use dust vacuuming and collecting equipment if
these can be attached to the appliance. Please
note that the vacuums used must be suitable
for this special application. The correct use of
8
GB/IE
this equipment reduces risks caused by dust.
There is a risk of fire when working with electrical
appliances that are equipped with dust bags
or which can be connected to an appropriate
appliance with a dust suction attachment! Under
unfavourable conditions, such as flying sparks,
grinding of metal or metal remnants in wood,
the wood dust in the dust bag (or in the filter
bag of a vacuum cleaner) can ignite. This can
happen especially if the wood dust has paint
particles on it or is mixed with other chemical
substances and the sanded material is hot after
extensive working. Therefore, avoid overheat-
ing both, the part which is being sanded and
the appliance, and always empty the dust bag
or the filter bag of the vacuum before work
pauses.
Carefull Handling and Use of
Electrical Hand Tools
J
Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct
electrical tool for your work. With the correct
electrical tool, you will work better and more
safely within the specified performance range.
J
Never use an electrical tool with a defective
switch. An electrical tool that can no longer be
switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
J
Pull the plug out of the power socket before mak-
ing adjustments to the appliance, changing ac-
cessories or putting away the appliance. These
precautionary measures prevent accidental
starting of the appliance.
J
Store unused electrical tools outside the reach
of children. Do not allow persons to operate
the appliance, if they are not familiar with the
use of the tool or if they have not read these
instructions. Electrical tools are dangerous if
used by inexperienced persons.
J
Take good care of the appliance. Check whether
moving appliance parts are functioning correctly
and do not stick, whether parts are broken or
damaged and that the functioning of the ap-
pliance is not impaired. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the appliance. Many
