Safety instructions
WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all
instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injuries. Save all
warnings and instructions for future
reference.
This power tool is intended to function
as a sander. Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Operations such as grinding, wire
brushing, or for polishing and cut-off
are not recommended to be performed
with this power tool.
Operations for which the power tool
was not designed may create a hazard
and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool,
it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the accessory must
be at least equal to the maximum speed
marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their
rated speed can break and fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness
of your accessory must be within the
capacity rating of your power tool.
Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
Threaded mounting of accessories must
match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the
arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange.
Accessories that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will
run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheels for chips and cracks,
backing pad for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked
wires. If power tool or accessory is
dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. After inspecting
and installing an accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the
plane of the rotating accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for
one minute.
Damaged accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As
appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or
workpiece fragments.
The eye protection
must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust
mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away
from work area. Anyone entering the
work area must wear personal protective
equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury
beyond immediate area of operation.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool “live” and shock the operator.
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.
Never lay the power tool down until the
accessory has come to a complete stop.
The spinning accessory may grab the
surface and pull the power tool out
of your control.
Do not run the power tool while carrying
it at y our sid e. Accidental contact with the
spinning accessory could snag your
clothing, pulling the accessory into your
body.

GE 5/GE 5 R/GSE 5/GSE 5 R
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 flam-
mable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
Do not use accessories that require liquid
coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may
result reesult in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched
or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad,
brush or any other accessory. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the
rotating accessory which in turn causes the
uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direction opposite of the accessory’s
rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is
snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the
edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the
material causing the wheel to climb out or
kick out. The wheel may either jump toward
or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel’s movement at the
point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse
and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions as given below.
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool
and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces.
Always use auxiliary handle, if provided,
for maximum control over kickback
or torque reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating
accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area
where power tool will move if kickback
occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction
opposite to the wheel‘s movement at the
point of snagging.
Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have
a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving
blade or toothed saw blade.
Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Special safety instructions for sanding
Do not use excessively oversized
sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting
sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond
the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing
of the disc or kickback.
Additional safety instructions
Use only extension cables permitted
for outdoor use.
It is not recommended to sand lead paint.
Lead paint should be removed
by a specialist only.
If plaster board or plaster is sanded,
this may cause static electricity to build
up on the tool. To ensure your safety,
the wall sander is earthed.
Remove dust with an earthed dust
extractor only.
Do not work on materials which release
hazardous substances (e.g. asbestos).
Take precautions if hazardous, combustible or explosive dust is likely to occur.
Wear protective dust mask.
Use dust extraction system.
Damage to property!
The mains voltage and the voltage speci-
fications on the rating plate must correspond.
