g) If devices are provided for the connec-
tion of dust extraction and collection
facilities, ensure these are connected
and properly used.
Use of these devices
can reduce dust-related hazards.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons unfa-
miliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to
bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended
for the particular type of power tool,
taking into account the working condi-
tions and the work to be performed.
Use
of the power tool for operations differ-
ent from those intended could result in
a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qual-
ified repair person using only identical
replacement parts.
This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
Special safety instructions.
Wear protective equipment. Depending on the
application, wear face shield or safety gog-
gles. Wear dust mask and protective gloves.
Wear hearing protection.
The safety glasses
must be suitable to protect against the parti-
cles flung about from different operations.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable
of filtering the particles developing during
work. Continuous high exposure to noise can
lead to loss of hearing.
Hold power tool by insulated gripping sur-
faces, because the belt may contact its own
cord.
Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed
metal parts of the power tool “live” and could
give the operator an electric shock.
While working, do not wear loose clothing,
jewelry or open, long hair.
Despite protective
devices, loose objects can be snagged or
caught by moving parts and lead to injury.
Do not use worn, torn or heavily clogged sand-
ing belts. Handle sanding belts carefully and
store them according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Do not bend or fold sanding
belts!
Damaged sanding belts can tear, be
flung away and injure someone.
Never touch the running sanding belt.
Danger
of injury.
Hold the power tool firmly.
High reaction
torque can briefly occur.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or
signs onto the power tool.
If the insulation is
damaged, protection against an electric shock
will be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recom-
mended.
Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the
power tool manufacturer.
Safe operation is
not ensured merely because an accessory fits
your power tool.
Clean the ventilation slots of your power tool
regularly with non-metal tools. Frequently
blow out the ventilation opening with oil-free,
compressed air.
The motor fan draws dust
into the housing. Excessive accumulation of
metal dust can cause electrical hazards.
Recommendation: The tool should always be
supplied with power via a ground fault circuit
interrupter (g.f.c.i.) with a rated current of
30 mA or less.
