Safety
Read this manual carefully before starting or using the
device. Always store the manual in the immediate vicinity
of the device or its site of use!
Warning
Observe all the safety warnings, instructions,
illustrations and technical data provided with this
power tool.
Failure to follow the instructions below may result in
electric shock, fire and/ or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term power tool used in the safety warnings refers to both
mains-operated and battery-powered electric tools (with/
without power cable).
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Work area
safety
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a residual current device(RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Personal
safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
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.
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Electrical
safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify
the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with
earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and
matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of
electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,
pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
• 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
energising 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 control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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. The use of a dust
extraction system may reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool
safety principles. A careless action can cause severe
injury within a fraction of a second.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – 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.
EN 2
belt sander PBSS 10-600
• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and / or
the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories carefully. 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.
• Keep handles and gripping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and gripping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings – 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.
Safety Warnings for Grinding
• This power tool is intended to function as a grinder.
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.
• 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.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, backing pads and abrasive belts for
cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brushes 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 workshop 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 the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contacting a live wire might energize exposed metal parts
of the device and lead to an electric 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.
• 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 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.
• Only use the power tool for dry sanding. Water entering
an electrical appliance increases the risk of electric shock.
• Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces,
as the grinding surface could hit the connecting cable.
Damaging a live wire might energize metal parts of the
power tool and lead to an electric shock.
• Secure the workpiece. The grip of tensioning devices or a
vice is more secure than holding the workpiece only by
hand.
• During operation hold onto the power tool with both
hands. Make sure that you stand firmly on the ground. It is
safer to handle the power tool with two hands.
• Never touch the abrasive belt while it is in motion. Risk
of injury.
• Do not use worn, torn or heavily contaminated
abrasive belts. Damaged abrasive belts can be torn apart,
catapulted away and so lead to personal injury.
• For processing wood, or in particular materials that
produce harmful dusts when sanded, connect the
power tool to an appropriate external exhaust system.
• Only hold the power tool against the workpiece when
the tool is switched on and running. If you are finished
with processing the workpiece, lift the power tool off
the workpiece before you switch it off.
• Make sure that nobody's safety is jeopardized by
flying sparks. Remove combustible materials from the
working environment. Grinding metal causes sparks to
fly.
• Using a power tool that comes equipped with a dust
collector or can be connected to the vacuum cleaner
by means of a dust extraction device involves a fire
hazard. In unfavourable conditions – e.g. in case of flying
sparks caused by grinding metal or metal remainders in
wood – the wood dust inside the dust collector (or in the
vacuum cleaner's dust collection bag) might self-ignite.
The risk is particularly high when the wood dust is mixed
with paint residues or other chemical substances and the
sanding material is hot after a longer period of work.
Therefore, avoid overheating of the workpiece and of the
power tool at all times and empty the dust collector or the
vacuum cleaner's dust bag before taking work breaks.
• Do not use the dust extraction system when grinding
metals.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
