Safety advice relating
specifically to random
orbital sanders

When working in outside areas, protect your-
self against leakage current by fitting an FI pro-
tection switch with a max. activation rating of
30 mA.
J
Secure the workpiece firmly. Use clamps or a
vice to firmly hold the workpiece. This results
in a safer grip than with your hand.

FIRE HazaRD DUE To FLYING SPaRKS!
When sanding metals, there is a risk of flying
sparks. For this reason, always make certain
that no one is at risk and that no flammable
materials are located near the working area.
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!
J
When working for extended periods on wood
and, in particular, materials that produce dusts
that are hazardous to health, connect the appli-
ance to an appropriate external suction device.
J
Provide for sufficient ventilation when working
plastics, varnishes and paints.
J
Do not soak materials or surfaces to be worked
with liquids containing solvents. The heat gene-
rated during sanding can give rise to vapours
that are toxic or hazardous to health.
J
Avoid sanding lead-based paints or other
materials that are hazardous to health.
J
Material containing asbestos may not be worked.
Asbestos is considered to be a carcinogen.
J
Avoid contact with the moving sanding sheet.
J
Use the appliance only with a sanding sheet in
place.
J
Never use the appliance for purposes other
than those intended and only with original
components / accessories.
J
Introduce the appliance to the work piece with
it switched on. On task completion, lift the appli-
ance from the work piece and then switch it off.
J
Permit the switched off appliance to come to a
complete standstill before putting it down.
J
The appliance must always be kept clean, dry
and free of oil or grease.
