• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack,
picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or
energizing power tools that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool
may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better con-
trol of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous
and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect
the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions
and the work to be performed. Use of the
power tool for operations different from those
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of
the power tool is maintained.
Shared safety notes regarding grinding,
sandpaper sanding, working with wire brushes,
polishing and abrasive cutting.
• This power tool is to be used as an sandpaper
grinder, sandpaper sander, wire brush and
abrasive cutting tool. Observe all the safety
notes, instructions, representations and data
received with the power tool. If you do not
observe the following instructions, electrical
shock, film and/or serious injuries may be the
result.
• This electrical tool is not suitable for polishing. Applications for which the power tool are
not intended may cause risks and injuries.
• Do not use accessories that have not been
designed and recommended by the manufacturer for this specific power tool. Just
because you are able to attach an accessory to
your power tool this does not guarantee that it is
safe to use.
• The permitted revolutions of the tool must be
at least as high as the highest revolutions
specified on the power tool. Accessories that
rotate faster than they are permitted to may
break and fly.
• The external diameter and thickness of the
tool must match the dimensional specification of your power tool. Incorrectly dimen-
sioned tools cannot be sufficiently shielded or
controlled.
• Sanding discs, flanges, sanding plates or
other accessories must fit precisely to the
sanding spindle of your power tool. Tools
that do not fit precisely to the sanding spindle of
the power tool will rotate unevenly, vibrate heavily and may cause loss of control over the device.
• Do not use damaged tools. Before each use,
check tools like sanding discs for chips and
tears, sanding plates for tears, wear or heavy
use, wire brushes for loose or broken bristles.
If the power tool or the tool itself are dropped,
check to see whether it is damaged or use an
undamaged tool. When you have checked
and inserted the tool, ensure that you and any
other people in the vicinity are out of the
sphere of influence of the rotating tool and
operate the power tool for a minute at the
highest revolutions. Damaged tools will usually
break within this test period.
• Wear personal safety gear. Depending on the
work you are doing, wear a full-face visor,
visor or protective goggles. If appropriate,
wear a dust mask, ear defenders, protective
gloves or a special apron designed to keep
sanding and material particles away from
you. Your eyes should be protected from the fly-
ing objects that may be generated during various
applications. Dust or breathing masks must be
capable of filtering the dust generated during
