m General Safety Rules
When using electric tools basic safety precautions should al-
ways be followowed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock
and personal injury.
• Keep guards in place and in working order.
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Form the habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
removed from the machine before turning it on.
• Keep the working area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
• Don't use in a dangerous environment. Don't use power
tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
Keep work area well lighted.
• Keep children away. All visitors should be kept at a safe
distance from the work area.
• Make your workshop kid proof. Lock your workshop.
Tools not used should be kept in a dry place, inacces-
sible for children.
• Don't force the tool. It will do the job better and safer
at the rate for which it was designed.
• Use the right tool. Don't force the tool or attachment
to do a job for which is was not designed.
• Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.
• Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing,
gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which
may get caught in moving parts. Nonslip shoes are rec-
ommended. Wear protective hair covering to contain
long hair. Roll your sleeves up to above the elbows.
• Protect your eyes by safety goggles. Everyday eyeglasses
offer only little protection. They are no safety glasses.
Wear a face or dust mask when working in a dusty en-
vironment.
• Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to hold work, when
practical. It is safer than using your hand, and it frees
both hands to operate the tool.
• Don't overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean
for best and safest performance. Follow the instructions
for lubricating, and changing accessories.
• Always disconnect the machine before servicing, and
when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cut-
ters, and the like.
• Only use recommended accessories. Consult the operat-
ing instructions for the recommended accessories. The
use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to
persons.
• Never stand on the machine. Serious injury could oc-
cur if the machine is tipped or if the cutting tool is
unintentionally contacted.
• Check for damaged parts. Before further use of the tool,
a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully
checked to determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for alignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting,
and any other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be prop-
erly repaired or replaced.
• Direction of work. Push the workpiece towards the saw-
blade or cutter only in the moving direction of the tool.
• Never leave the machine unattended while it is running.
Wait until the tool has come to an absolute standstill,
before you leave the machine.
• Use the correct power connection. Do not pull the pow-
er plug to stop the machine during work. Never remove
the plug from the socket by pulling the extension cord.
• Always stay attentive to what you are doing, even when
using the machine regularly. Bear in mind that a frac-
tion of a second is sufficient to cause an injury.
• Keep your safety in mind. Safety is a combination of
common sense and staying alert as long as the machine
is switched on.
• When used in enclosed rooms, the machine must be
connected to a dust extractor unit to remove wood chips
and sawdust. The air flow rate at the suction connector
must be 20 m/s.

WARNING: Do not use your machine until it is completely
assembled and installed according to the instructions.
• If you are not familiar with the operation of the sanding
machine, ask the head of the department, your teacher,
or any other qualified person.
• ATTENTION: This machine has only been designed for
sanding wood or similar materials. The sanding of other
materials can cause fire, injuries, or damage the prod-
uct.
• Always wear safety goggles.
• This machine may only be operated indoors.
• IMPORTANT: Mount and use the machine on a horizontal
surface. A non-horizontal surface can damage the mo-
tor.
• If the machine tends to tilt or walk (especially when
sanding long and heavy panels), it must be fastened to
a solid surface of sufficient carrying force.
• Firmly hold the workpiece when sanding.
• Do not wear gloves. Do not hold the workpiece with a
cloth during sanding.
• Never sand workpieces too small to be held safely.
• Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip
could cause your hand to touch the sanding belt or
disc.
• When sanding a large piece of material, provide an ad-
ditional support at table height.
• Never sand an unsupported workpiece. Secure the
workpiece with the table or the fence. Exceptions are
the sanding of curved workpieces on the outside of the
sanding disc.
• Always clear the table, fence or sanding belt of scraps
or other objects, before turning the machine on.
• Do not perform any layout assembly or set-up work on
the table while the sanding machine is in operation.
• Switch the machine off and pull the power plug from
the socket when fitting or removing accessories.
• Never leave the working area of the sanding machine
while the tool is running, or as long as it has not come
to an absolute standstill.
• Always place the work piece on the grinding table. To
sharpen bent tools with the grinding disc, place them
securely on the table.
