d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfamil-
iar with the power tool or these instruc-
tions to operate the power tool. Power tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc. in accordance with these instruc-
tions, taking into account the working con-
ditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situ-
ation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Machine-specific
Safety Warnings
B Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held more
secure than by hand.
B Do not work materials containing asbestos.
Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
B Take protective measures when dust can
develop during working that is harmful to
one's health, combustible or explosive. Exam-
ple: Some dusts are regarded as carcinogenic.
Wear a dust mask and work with dust/chip extrac-
tion when connectable.
B Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials
are particularly dangerous. Dust from light alloys
can burn or explode.
B Never use the machine with a damaged cable.
Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the
mains plug when the cable is damaged while
working. Damaged cables increase the risk of an
electric shock.

B Connect machines that are used in the open
via a residual current device (RCD).
B Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetra-
tion of water into the machine increases the risk of
an electric shock.
B Caution, fire hazard! Avoid overheating the
object being sanded as well as the sander.
Always empty the dust collector before taking
breaks. In unfavourable conditions, e. g., when
sparks emit from sanding metals, sanding debris in
the dust bag, micro filter or paper sack (or in the fil-
ter sack or filter of the vacuum cleaner) can self-
ignite. Particularly when mixed with remainders of
varnish, polyurethane or other chemical materials
and when the sanding debris is hot after long peri-
ods of working.
