trial safety regulations (e.g. in Germany: BGV
A2, BGR 500).

Use safety glasses, protective gloves and
hearing protection. As appropriate, wear a
dust mask and shop apron capable of pro-
tecting you against grinding and work piece
particles. The safety glasses must be capa-
ble of protecting against flying particles
generated by the various different opera-
tions. The dust mask or respirator must be capa-
ble of filtering particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause loss of hearing.
While working, do not wear loose clothing, jewel-
lery, open or long hair. Loose objects can be
caught in moving parts despite protective
devices, and lead to injuries.
Do not use worn, torn or heavily clogged grinding
belts. Handle grinding belts with care and store
them in accordance with the instructions of the
manufacturer. Do not bend or crease grinding
belts! Damaged grinding belts can tear apart and
be thrown from the machine resulting in possi-
ble personal injury.
Do not use grinding belts or other accessories
which are not specifically designed and recom-
mended by the power tool manufacturer. Safe
operation is not ensured merely because a
grinding belt or accessory fits your machine.
Always use the protective devices of the machine.
The protective devices must be securely mounted
to the machine and positioned for maximum
safety. The protective devices help to protect
the operator from flying grinding particles and
unintentional contact with the grinding belt.
Caution! Danger of fire and explosion! When grind-
ing metals (e. g. aluminium or magnesium), dust
develops that can be combustible or explosive. Do
not operate the machine in the vicinity of combus-
tible materials. Sparks can ignite such materials.
Caution! Danger of fire! When grinding metals, red
hot metal and grinding belt particles develop and
are collected in the dust collector. Before empty-
ing, the contents of the dust collector must have
cooled sufficiently and may be disposed only in
suitable containers.
Pay attention that persons are not harmed by
sparking. Remove combustible materials in the
direct area. Sparks develop when grinding met-
als.
