Do not machine any material containing asbes-
tos. Asbestos is cancerogenic.
To prevent injuries, always keep your hands,
clothing, etc. away from rotating swarf. The
swarf can cause injuries. Always use the chip-
ping protector.
Do not attempt to remove the application tool if
it does not turn. This can lead to serious injuries.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs
onto the power tool. If the insulation is dama-
ged, protection against an electric shock will be
ineffective. Adhesive labels are recommended.
Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the power
tool manufacturer. Safe operation is not ensu-
red merely because an accessory fits your
power tool.
Handling hazardous dusts
When working with power
WARNING
tools, such as when grinding,
sanding, polishing, sawing or for other work pro-
cedures where material is removed, dusts deve-
lop that are both hazardous to one's health and
can spontaneously combust or be explosive.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types can
trigger allergic reactions to the operator or
bystanders and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions, cancer, birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm.
Examples of such materials and therein con-
tained chemicals, where hazardous dusts can
develop when working them, are:
– Asbestos and materials containing asbestos;
– Lead-containing coatings, some wood types
such as beech and oak;
– Minerals and metal;
– Silicate particles from bricks, concrete and
other materials containing stone;
– Solvent from solvent-containing paint/varnish;
– Arsenic, chromium and other wood pre-
servatives;
– Materials for pesticide treatment on boot
and ship hulls.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power
tool at regular intervals using non-metal tools.
The blower of the motor draws dust into the
housing. An excessive accumulation of metal-
lic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
when performing an operation where the cut-
ting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a "live"
wire will make exposed metal parts of the
power tool '"live" and shock the operator.
With a tool inserted, the motor may not move
downward by itself. Readjust hexagon nut
(790) as required. Before readjusting, pull the
mains plug from the socket outlet and
remove the cover (950). Pay attention to the
sensitive electronics below the cover!
See exploded view.
Before putting into operation, check the mains
connection and the mains plug for damage.
To minimise the unwanted intake of these
materials:
– Use dust extraction matched appropriately
for the developing dust.
– Use personal protective equipment, such as
a P2 filter-class dust protection mask.
– Provide for good ventilation of the workplace.
The risk from inhaling dusts depends on the
frequency how often these materials are wor-
ked. Materials containing asbestos may only
be worked by specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust can
CAUTION
cause spontaneous combustion
or explosions.
Hot mixtures of sanding dust and paint/varnish
remainders or other chemical materials in the
filter bag or the vac filter can self-ignite under
unfavourable conditions, such as sparking from
sanding metal, continuous sunlight or high
ambient temperatures. To prevent this:
– Avoid overheating the material being san-
ded and the power tool.
– Empty the dust collector/container in time.
– Observe the material manufacturer's wor-
king instructions.
Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials being worked.
