Hazards caused by flying parts

■

If a workpiece or accessory or even part of the 
machine tool itself breaks, parts can be flung 
out at high speeds.

■

When operating the sander or the polisher or 
when exchanging accessories on the appliance, 
always wear eye protection. The degree of nec-
essary protection must be evaluated separately 
for each individual task.

■

Wear a safety helmet if working above head 
height. In this case, the risks for others should 
also be assessed.

■

You must ensure that the workpiece has been 
securely fixed.

Hazards caused by entanglement

■

Suffocation, scalping and/or cut wounds  
can occur if loose clothing, jewellery, necklaces, 
hair or gloves are not kept away from the  
machine and its accessories.

Hazards during operation

■

When using the machine, the operator's hands 
can be subject to hazards such as cuts, grazing 
and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect your 
hands.

■

The operator and maintenance personnel must 
be physically capable of handling the size, 
mass and power of the machine.

■

Hold the machine correctly: be ready to coun-
teract any normal or sudden movements - have 
both hands ready.

■

Ensure that your body is balanced and that you 
have a secure standing position.

■

Release the start/stop control in case of a  
disruption to the electricity supply.

■

Use only the lubricants recommended by the 
manufacturer.

■

Suitable safety goggles must be worn; wearing 
protective gloves and safety clothing is recom-
mended.

■

Check the grinding disc before every use. Do 
not use if this is cracked, broken or has been 
dropped.

■

Avoid direct contact with the movable grinding 
disc, to avoid squashing or cutting your hands 
or other parts of the body. Always wear suit-
able gloves to protect your hands.

■

Never use the machine without an abrasive 
attachment.

■

There is a risk of electrostatic discharge if the 
machine is used on plastic and other non-con-
ductive materials.

■

Dust and vapours created by the grinding and 
sanding can cause a potentially explosive at-
mosphere. Always use a dust extraction or sup-
pression system suitable for the material being 
worked.

Risks due to repetitive movements

■

When using a sander or polisher to perform 
work-related activities, operators may experi-
ence uncomfortable sensations in their hands 
and arms, as well as in the neck and shoulders 
or other parts of the body.

■

When using a sander or a polisher, the opera-
tor should adopt a comfortable posture whilst 
ensuring a secure hold and avoiding awkward 
postures or positions in which it is difficult to 
maintain balance. The operator should change 
positions during the course of long-lasting tasks. 
This can be helpful in the prevention of discom-
fort and fatigue.
