Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
Safety Warnings specific for Wire Brushing operations u Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush The wire
bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or
brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.
Additional safety warnings Wear safety goggles.
Wear protective gloves.
Switch the power tool off when the power supply is interrupted, e.g. as a result of a power cut or the mains
plug being pulled. This prevents uncontrolled restarting.
Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Switch the power tool on before making contact with the workpiece and only switch the power tool off after you
have removed it from the workpiece. The power tool can move suddenly.
Never touch the grinding tool when it is running. This poses a risk of injury.
Ensure that no persons are at risk due to flying sparks.
Remove combustible materials from the surrounding area. Flying sparks are created when sanding metals.
Do not use any worn, torn or severely clogged sanding belts. Damaged sanding belts can tear, fly off and injure
someone.
Clean the air vents on your power tool regularly. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and
excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by
hand.
Always wait until the power tool has come to a complete stop before placing it down. The application tool can
jam and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
Warning: Danger of fire! Avoid overheating the workpiece and the sander. Always empty the dust collector
before taking a break from work. Sanding dust in the dust bag, microfilter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or
vacuum cleaner filter) can spontaneously combust under certain conditions, for example if flying sparks are
created when sanding metals. This risk is increased if the sanding dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane
residue or with other chemical substances and if the workpiece is hot as a result of prolonged work.
Products sold in GB only:
Your product is fitted with an BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (ASTA approved to BS 1362).
If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an
authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.
The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains
socket elsewhere.
