Safety instructions
Wear protective glasses!
Wear suitable clothing!
Inspect the sanding disc before every use. Do
not use if it is torn, broken or has been dropped.
Avoid direct contact with the moving sanding
disc to prevent crushing or pinching the hands
or other body parts. Wear suitable gloves to
protect the hands.
Never use the machine without abrasives.
There is a risk of electrostatic discharge when
using the machine on plastic and other non-
conductive materials.
Dust and vapours created by grinding and
sanding can create a potentially explosive at-
mosphere. Always use a dust extraction or
suppression system suitable for the material
being worked on.
Hazards due to repetitive
motions
When using the sander or polisher for
work related tasks, the operator may
experience uncomfortable sensations
in hands, arms and the area of the neck
and shoulder or in other parts of the
body.
The operator should maintain a comfort-
able position whilst using this sander
or polisher, thereby ensuring a secure
grip and avoiding awkward positions
or positions making it difficult to main-
tain balance. The operator should change his
posture when working for longer, to help avoid
discomfort and fatigue.
If the operator experiences symptoms
such as persistently or repeatedly feel-
ing unwell, discomfort, palpitations,
pain, tingling, numbness, a burning
sensation or stiffness, these warning
signs should not be ignored. The opera-
tor should report these to the employer and
consult a qualified healthcare professional.
Risks associated with
accessories
Unplug the sander or polisher before you change
tools or accessories.
Only use the size and types of accessories and
consumables recommended by the manufac-
turer of the sander or polisher.
Please avoid direct contact with the machine
tool during and after use, as it could have
heated up or have sharp edges.
Only use tools and accessories for the sander
and polisher that are designated for use by
the manufacturer of the sander and polisher.
Do not use cutting discs and machines for cutting.
It must be checked that the maximum operating
speed of the machine tool (flap discs, sanding
belts, fleece discs) is higher than the nominal
speed of the machine.
Please make sure that you affix the self-adhe-
sive abrasive sheets can be concentrically to
the mounting plate.
Hazards in the work
environment
Slipping, tripping and falling are the
main causes of injuries at the work-
place. Keep in mind that surfaces may have
become slippery during machine use, and
remember tripping hazards caused by the air-
or hydraulic hose.
Proceed with caution in unfamiliar
surroundings. There may be hidden dangers
due to electrical cables or other supply lines.
These machines for sanding and
polishing are not suitable for use in
explosive environments and are not
insulated against contact with electri-
cal power sources.
Verify that there are no electrical lines,
gas lines, etc. that may result in a hazard in
the event of them becoming damaged during
machine use.
