 Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable

you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations.

 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become
entangled in the moving parts.

 If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure

that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.

Power tool use and care

 Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what

you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context
for which it was designed.

 Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people

who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are
potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any

other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power
tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these

instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool
in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

Service

 Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare

parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 MACHINE-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

 Use the machine only for dry sanding. Penetration of water into the machine increases the

risk of an electric shock.

 Keep hands away from the sawing range. Do not reach under the workpiece. Contact with

the saw blade can lead to injuries.

 Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the

local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric
shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes
property damage or may cause an electric shock.

 When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a

secure stance. The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.

 Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held

more secure than by hand.

 Keep your workplace clean. Blends of materials are particularly dangerous. Dust from light

alloys can burn or explode.

 Wear protective gloves when changing application tools/accessories.
 Application tools/ accessories become hot after prolonged usage.
 Do not scrape wetted materials (e. g. wallpaper) or on moist surfaces. Penetration of water

into the machine increases the risk of an electric shock.
