Safety instructions
J Important! When using electric-powered tools
the following fundamental safety instructions
need to be observed for your protection against
electric shock, personal injury and the danger
of fire. Read and take note of these operating
instructions and the safety advice contained
therein before using the appliance. Non-observ-
ance of the following instructions could give you
an electric shock, cause a fire and / or incur seri
-
ous personal injury.
Working area safety
J Keep your working area clean and tidy. Ensure
good illumination of the working area. Untidy
and poorly lit working areas can lead to accidents.
6 GB/IE
Safety instructions
J Risk of Explosion! Do not work with
the appliance in areas subject to the risk
of explosions, those in which flammable liquids,
gases or dusts are located. Electrical tools
produce sparks, which could ignite the dust or the
vapours.
J Keep children and other third parties
at a distance when using electrical
hand tools.
If distracted, you could lose the control over the
appliance.
Electrical safety
Avoid mortal danger through
electric shock:
J The power plug of the appliance must fit
correctly into the wall socket. The plug may
not be altered in any way. Do not use adapter
plugs together with earthed appliances.
Non-modified plugs and appropriate wall sockets
reduce the risk of receiving an electric shock.
J Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces,
such as pipes, heaters, stoves and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electrocution if
your body is earthed.
J Protect the appliance from rain and
moisture. The permeation of water into
an electrical appliance increases the risk of you
receiving an electric shock.
J Do not misuse the power cable, e.g. to carry the
appliance, to hang it up or for pulling the plug
from the wall socket. Keep the power cable
away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving
appliance parts.
Damaged or tangled cables and defective plugs
increase the risk of you receiving an electric shock.
J Damaged appliances, power cables
and power plugs mean potentially
fatal risks from electric shock.
J Regularly check the condition of the appliance,
the power cable, the power plug and, if need be,
the charger and the battery pack.
J When working outdoors, use only extension
cables which are certified for use outdoors.
The use of an extension cable certified for use
outdoors reduces the risk of an electric shock.
J Do not take appliances into use that have
damaged components. In a case of emergency,
immediately disconnect the power supply.
J Warning! - Never open the appliance.
Arrange for repair or component replacement
work to be carried out by the service centre or
specialists for electrical repairs.
Personal safety
J Always be alert and be aware of what you are
doing. Use lots of common sense when working
with electrical appliances. Do not use such ap-
pliances when you are unconcentrated or tired,
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medi-
cations. Simply a few moments of inattention in
the use of an electrical appliance can lead to seri-
ous personal injuries.
J Wear personal protective gear and
always wear safety glasses. The
wearing of personal protective clothing
such as dust masks, anti-slip safety shoes, pro
-
tective gloves, hard helmet and hearing protec-
tion can, depending on the use of the electrical
appliance, reduce the risk of injuries.
J Avoid unintentional starting of the appliance.
Make certain that the switch is in the "OFF"
position before you insert the plug into the power
socket. If you have a finger on the ON / OFF
switch while carrying the appliance or the appli-
ance is already switched on when it is connected
to the power supply, this can result in accidents.
J Remove setup tools or screw keys before
switching the appliance on.
A tool or key in a spinning appliance component
can cause serious injuries.
J Do not overestimate yourself. Ensure you have
a secure positioning and are in balance at all
times. This allows you much better control over
the appliance, especially in unexpected situations.
J Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving components. Wear a hair net
if you have long hair. Loose clothing and clothing
that is not close against the body as well as
jewellery and hair can be caught by moving parts.
7 GB/IE
Safety instructions
J Use dust vacuuming and collecting equipment
if these can be attached to the appliance. Please
note that the vacuums used must be suitable for
this special application. The correct use of this
equipment reduces the risks from dust.
There is a risk of fire when working with electrical
appliances that have a dust sack or can be
connected to an appropriate appliance with a dust
suction attachment! Under unfavourable conditions,
such as flying sparks, grinding of metal or metal
remnants in wood, the wood dust in the dust
sack (or in the collection sack of a vacuum cleaner)
can ignite. This can happen especially if the
wood dust has paint particles on it or is mixed
with other chemical substances and the sanded
material is hot after extensive working. You
should therefore avoid an overheating of the
items being worked and of the appliance, and
always empty the dust sack or the filter sack of
the vacuum before work pauses.
Careful handling and use
of electrical tools
J Do not overload the appliance. Use the correct
electrical tool for the task in hand. With the most
suitable electrical hand tool you will work better
and safer within its predetermined area of
performance.
J Never use an electrical tool with a defective
switch. An electrical tool that can no longer be
switched on or off is dangerous and must be
repaired.
J Remove the plug from the power socket before
making adjustments to the appliance, changing
accessories or putting the appliance away. These
precautionary measures prevent accidental
starting of the appliance.
J Store unused electrical tools out of the reach of
children. Do not allow people to operate the tool
who are not familiar with the appliance or who
have not read these instructions. Electrical tools
are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
J Take good care of the appliance. Check to ensure
that moving appliance parts are functioning cor-
rectly and do not jam, that parts are not broken
or damaged and that the functioning of the
appliance is not impaired. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the appliance. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained electrical tools.
J Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Carefully
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
jam less often and are easier to guide.
J Use electrical hand tools, accessories or ancillary
components only in accordance
with these
instructions and in such a
manner as is detailed
for the particular types of appliance. Take heed
of the operating conditions and the activities to
be performed. The use of electrical tools for
purposes other than their intended applications
can result in dangerous situations.
Appliance-specific safety
instructions
J When working in outside areas, protect yourself
against leakage current by fitting an FI protection
switch with a max. activation rating of 30 mA.
J Only use an extension cable certified for use
outdoors.
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.
J 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.
J In event of danger, immediately remove the
power plug from the socket.
J Always run the power cable away from the
appliance to the rear.
J 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.
J m Warning! Toxic vapours!
The working of materials that can produce harmful /
toxic dusts presents a health risk for the operator
and for people located in the close vicinity.
