• Power tools that are not handled correctly
can cause hand/arm vibration syndrome.
• Keep power tools and accessories in good
condition to reduce the risk of vibration
related problems.
• Use vibration damping handles, gloves
etc. if power tools are to be used often
and/or for a long time.
• Do not work in temperatures less than
10°C. Plan the work so that exposure to
heavy vibrations is spread over a longer
period.
Harmful dust
• Sanding dust from some materials, for
example lead paint, some types of wood,
minerals and metals, can be harmful to
health and in some cases toxic.
• Wear safety glasses and a dust filter mask,
and always use dust extraction when
possible.
• Secure the workpiece with a clamp, clips
or vice. This is much safer than using your
hands and also means you have both
hands free to operate the tool.
• Never put your hands near or in front of
the power tool or the workpiece. The risk
of personal injury as a result of slipping,
or a momentary loss of balance, is
reduced if you keep your hands at a safe
distance. Pull out the plug from the power
point immediately if there is a risk of a
dangerous situation. The power cord
should be directed back behind the power
tool when working.
• Avoid contact with the sanding belt and
other moving parts.
• Do not work on wet surfaces or damp
material.
• Start the power tool and allow the
sanding belt to reach the set speed before
it is applied against the workpiece. Lift the
power tool off the workpiece after sanding
before switching it off.
• Hold the power tool firmly with both
hands during the work. Always maintain a
firm footing and good balance.
done. It can be dangerous to use power
tools for purposes other than those they
are intended to be used for.
Service
• Do not dismantle the product or attempt
to modify, or repair it.
• Any repairs must be carried out by
qualified personnel to avoid putting safety
at risk.
• Power tools must only be serviced by
qualified personnel using identical spare
parts. This will ensure that the power tool
remains safe to use.
Special safety instructions
• Remove all the packaging material from
the product before use.
• Hold the power tool by the insulated grips
when working in areas where the tool
could come into contact with concealed
electrical cables or its own power cord.
Contact with a live cable will cause the
metal parts on the power tool to also
become live – risk of electric shock.
• Fire risk as a result of sparks! Hot metal
particles (sparks) are produced when
grinding metal, which can ignite
flammable material. Keep onlookers,
especially children, and also pets at a safe
distance from sanding sparks, and keep
flammable materials away from the work
place and its surroundings.
• During prolonged work with wood, or if
the product is used for materials that
release toxic dust, the product must be
connected to a suitable dust extraction
device.
• Ensure good ventilation when working
with plastic, paint and varnish, etc.
• The product is only intended for dry
sanding of large sections of wood, plastic,
metal and plaster, and painted surfaces.
The product must only be used on dry
surfaces.
• Do not work with material that contains
asbestos. Asbestos is carcinogenic.
