Safety Instructions
JWhen working outdoors, use only extension cords which are certified for use outdoors. The use of an extension cable suitable for employ- ment outdoors reduces the risk of electrical shock.
JWarning! - Never open the appliance. Arrange for repair or component replacement work to be carried out by the service centre or specialists for electrical repairs.
Safety of Personnel
JAlways be alert and aware of what you are doing. Work sensibly with an electrical hand tool. Do not use the appliance if you are unable to concentrate or tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Just a simple lapse of attention while using an electrical hand tool is sufficient to lead to serious injuries.
JWear personal protective gear and
always wear safety goggles. De- pending on the use of the electrical
appliance, wearing personal protective equipment, such as dust masks,
JAvoid accidental start of the appliance. Ensure the switch is in the "OFF" position before inserting the plug into the power socket. Never touch the ON / OFF switch while carrying the appliance, never switch the appliance on before connecting it to the power supply - this may cause an accident.
JDo not overestimate yourself. Ensure you position yourself securely and you are balanced at all times. This allows much better control over the appliance, especially in unexpected situations.
JWear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose cloth- ing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Wear a hair net if you have long hair. Loose clothing and clothing that is not tight against the body, as well as jewellery and hair can be caught by moving parts.
JUse 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 risks caused by dust. There is a risk of fire when working with electrical appliances that are equipped with dust bags
or which 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 bag (or in the filter bag 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. Therefore, avoid overheat- ing both, the part which is being sanded and the appliance, and always empty the dust bag or the filter bag of the vacuum before work pauses.
Carefull Handling and Use of Electrical Hand Tools
JDo not overload the appliance. Use the correct electrical tool for your work. With the correct electrical tool, you will work better and more safely within the specified performance range.
JNever 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.
JPull the plug out of the power socket before mak- ing adjustments to the appliance, changing ac- cessories or putting away the appliance. These precautionary measures prevent accidental starting of the appliance.
JStore unused electrical tools outside the reach of children. Do not allow persons to operate the appliance, if they are not familiar with the use of the tool or if they have not read these instructions. Electrical tools are dangerous if used by inexperienced persons.
JTake good care of the appliance. Check whether moving appliance parts are functioning correctly and do not stick, whether parts are broken or damaged and that the functioning of the ap- pliance is not impaired. Have damaged parts repaired before using the appliance. Many
