General Power Tool Safety Warnings – Work area
safety
• 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 or power adapter 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 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.
• 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.

Warning
Fire hazard! Avoid overheating of the material to be
sanded and the sander. Before taking work breaks
always empty the dust container.
Unfavourable conditions such as flying sparks when
sanding metal render abrasive dust in the dust bag,
micro filter, paper bag (or in the filter bag or filter of the
vacuum cleaner) prone to self-ignition. The risk is
particularly high when the abrasive dust is mixed with
residues of paint, polyurethane or other chemical
substances and the sanding material is hot after a
longer period of work.
• Keep your hands out of the sawing area. Do not reach
underneath the workpiece. Risk of injury upon contact
with the saw blade.
• Use appropriate detection equipment to track down
concealed supply lines or consult the local utility
companies. Contact with electrical lines may result in fire
and electric shock. Damaging a gas line may lead to an
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property
damage and may cause an electric shock.

otherwise damaged saw blades could break.
• When sawing lightweight construction materials, make
sure to observe the legal regulations and
recommendations of the material manufacturers.
• Only soft materials such as plasterboard or the like may be
processed using the plunge-cutting method!
• Before sawing wood, chipboards, building materials etc.
with HCSblades, check the above for foreign objects, e.g.
nails, screws or similar. If required, remove the foreign
objects or use bi-metal saw blades.
• Use a narrow saw blade when sawing tight curves.
• The saw blade should not be longer than required for the
intended cut.
Cutting:
• Only use intact, flawless cutting blades. Bent, blunt or
otherwise damaged cutting blades could break.
• When cutting wall tiles, bear in mind that the insertion
tools are subjected to a high level of wear during longer
operation.
Scraping:
• Choose a high oscillation rate for scraping.
• On soft ground (e.g. wood) work at a shallow angle and
with only little contact pressure. Otherwise the scraping
knife could cut into the ground.
Sanding:
• Maintain a consistent grinding pressure to increase the
lifetime of the sanding sheets.
• Choose from the different sanding sheets (red for wood,
black for metal) in due consideration of the material to be
processed and the desired surface abrasion.
• Avoid the accumulation of dust at the workplace, always
use a dust extraction system when grinding.
• Use the coarse triangular sanding sheets (e.g. 60 grit) for
rough grinding and the fine ones (e.g. 240 grit) for fine and
finish grinding.
