Hazards caused by flying parts
■ If a workpiece or accessory or even part of the
machine tool itself breaks, parts can be flung
out at high speeds.
■ When operating the sanding machine for sanding
sheets or the polisher or when exchanging acces-
sories on the device, always wear eye protection.
The degree of necessary protection must be evalu-
ated separately for each individual task.
■ Wear a safety helmet if working above head
height.
■ In this case, the risks for other persons should
also be assessed.
■ You must ensure that the workpiece has been
securely fixed.

Hazards caused by entanglement

■ Suffocation, scalping or and/or cut wounds can
occur if loose clothing, jewellery, necklaces, hair
or gloves are not kept away from the machine
and its accessories.

Hazards during operation

■ When using the machine, the operator's hands
can be subject to hazards such as cuts, grazing
and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect your
hands.
■ The operator and maintenance personnel must
be physically capable of handling the size,
mass and power of the machine.
■ Hold the machine correctly: be ready to coun-
teract any normal or sudden movements - have
both hands ready.
■ Ensure that your body is balanced and that you
have a secure standing position.
■ Release the start/stop control in case of a dis-
ruption of the energy supply.
■ Use only lubricants recommended by the manu-
facturer.
■ Protective goggles must be worn. It is recom-
mended to wear protective gloves and protec-
tive clothing.
■ Check the sanding disc before every use. Do
not use if this is cracked, broken or has been
dropped.

■ Avoid direct contact with the movable sanding
disc to avoid squashing or cutting your hands or
other parts of the body. Always wear suitable
gloves to protect your hands.
■ Never use the machine without an abrasive
attachment.
■ There is a risk of electrostatic discharge if the
machine is used on plastic and other non-
conductive materials.
■ Dust and vapours created by the sanding and
sanding can cause a potentially explosive at-
mosphere. Always use a dust extraction or sup-
pression system suitable for the material being
worked.

Risks due to repetitive movements

■ When using a sanding machine for sanding
sheets or a polisher to perform work-related
activities, operators may experience uncomfort-
able sensations in their hands and arms, as well
as in the neck and shoulders or other parts of
the body.
■ When using a sanding machine for sanding
sheets or a polisher, the operator should adopt
a comfortable posture whilst ensuring a secure
hold and avoiding awkward postures or posi-
tions in which it is difficult to maintain balance.
The operator should change positions during
the course of long-lasting tasks. This can be
helpful in the prevention of discomfort and
fatigue.
■ If the operator notices symptoms such as persis-
tent or recurring illness, discomfort, throbbing,
pain, tingling, burning or stiffness, these indica-
tions should not be ignored.
In this case, the operator should consult a suitably
qualified physician.

Hazards caused by accessories

■ Disconnect the sanding machine for sanding
sheets or the polisher from the power supply
before fitting or replacing the machine tools or
accessories.
■ Avoid direct contact with the machine tool during
and after use, since this can have heated up or
have become sharp.
