4 SAFETY WARNINGS
Basic safety measures must be followed when using air tools to eliminate the risk of fire,
electric shock and personal injury. Be sure to read and follow the notices within these
operating instructions prior to using the equipment and store them in a safe location. The
manufacturer assumes no liability for damages or personal injury resulting from failure to
follow these operating instructions.
The hazards listed are foreseeable for general use of handheld air sanders and saws.
However, the user (or their employer) must also assess specific risks which may arise
from its different types of applications.

DANGER! Keep hands and other extremities away from the sawing, cutting or
sanding area of the multi-tool. Cuts may otherwise occur.
 Only use the equipment in areas of application for which it was designed!
 Never use hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide or other bottled gasses to power this
tool as doing so may result in an explosion and thus may cause severe injuries.

EXPLOSION HAZARD! Never use petrol or other flammable liquids to clean the air
tool! Sparks could ignite residual vapours inside the compressed air equipment
resulting in the compressed air equipment exploding. Do not use the tool in explosive
environments with flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Never work on materials which
are or could potentially be highly flammable or explosive.
 Always wear personal protective equipment and safety glasses. Wearing personal
protective equipment such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, hard hat or ear
protectors, depending on the type of air tool and its application, reduces the risk of
injuries.

BE CAREFUL WHEN PUTTING DOWN THE EQUIPMENT! Always put down the
device so it does not rest on the trigger. This could potentially result in inadvertent
activation of the tool, which in turn could result in hazards.
 DANGER! Avoid contact with live lines. This equipment is not insulated against
electric shock.
 Torn or deformed sheets must not be used.
 Check whether the sanding sheets are fixed correctly.
 Ensure that no braking of the disk occurs due to lateral counter-pressure.
 Ensure that, if any sparks are produced, they are dispersed in such a way that they
pose no danger.

Check whether the maximum operational speed of the machine tool is the same or
greater than the given speed of the appliance.
 Only use lubricants recommended by the manufacturer.
 Do not use the appliance if spare parts, which affect the safety of the user, are
defective.
 Do not modify this equipment in any way without the manufacturer‘s approval.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply after each use and when not in use.
 Discontinue use if the tool leaks or is in need of repair.
 Keep children and other persons away from the equipment during use. Distractions
can cause you to lose control of the equipment.
 Put down the trigger and equipment in the event of unexpected compressor failure.

Secure work pieces. Use clamps or a vice to secure the work piece. Holding the work
piece in your hand or pressing it against your body will not allow for safe use of the
equipment.
