GB/IE/CY

use the device if he or she is not famil-
iar with it or has not read the instruc-
tions and advice.

 Electrical power tools are 

dangerous when they are used by inexperienced 
people. 

e)

Look after the device carefully. Check 
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any 
parts that are broken or damaged 
enough to detrimentally affect the 
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use the 
device.

 Many accidents have their origins in 

poorly maintained electrical power tools.

f)  

Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.

Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp 
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are 
easier to control.

g)  

Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance 
with these instructions and advice, 
and the stipulations drawn up for this 
particular type of device. In doing 
this, take into account the working 
conditions and the task in hand.

 The 

use of electrical power tools for purposes other 
than those intended can lead to dangerous  
situations.

   Safety advice relating 

specifically to random 
orbital sanders

When working in outside areas, pro-
tect yourself against leakage current 
by fitting an FI protection switch with 
a max. activation rating of 30 mA.

 Use exclusively an extension cable 
that is certified for use outdoors

Secure the workpiece firmly.

 Use 

clamps or a vice to firmly hold the workpiece. 
This results in a safer grip than with your hand.

 Under no circumstances should you 
place your hands next to or in front of 
the appliance or on the area to be 
worked,

 you could be seriously injured if you 

slip or stumble.

 In event of danger, immediately re-
move the power plug from the socket.

 Always run the power cable away 
from the appliance to the rear.

Ensure that nobody is endangered by 
flying sparks. 

Remove combustible materials 

from the immediate vicinity. Flying sparks are pro-
duced when metals are ground.

   CAUTION! DANGER OF FIRE! 

Ensure that the material being 
ground and the grinder itself 

 do not overheat.

 Always empty the dust 

container before taking a break from work. 
Grinding dust in the dust sack, microfilter, paper 
sack (or in the filter sack or filter of the vacuum 
cleaner) can ignite automatically under unfa-
vour-able conditions such as flying sparks when 
metal is being ground. There is a par-ticular 
hazard if the grinding dust is mixed with paint 
or polyurethane residues or other chemical sub-
stances and the material being ground is hot af-
ter being worked on for a prolonged period.

WARNING!

 TOXIC VAPOURS!

 The working of materials that can produce harm-
ful /  toxic dusts presents a health risk for the oper-
ator and for people located in the close vicinity.  

 Wear safety glasses and a 
dust protection mask!

 When working for extended periods 
on wood and, in particular, materials 
that produce dusts that are hazardous 
to health, connect the appliance to an 
appropriate external suction device.

Provide for sufficient ventilation when 
working plastics, varnishes and paints.

Do not soak materials or surfaces to 
be worked with liquids containing  
solvents. 

The electric tool must only be used for 
dry grinding.

 The penetration of water into 

the electric device increases the risk of an elec-
tric shock. 

Avoid sanding lead-based paints or 
other materials that are hazardous to 
health.

Material containing asbestos may not 
be worked. 

Asbestos is considered to be a 

carcinogen.
