General safety advice for electrical power tools

use the device if he or she is not famil- iar with it or has not read the instruc- tions and advice. Electrical power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced people.

e)Look after the device carefully. Check that moving parts are working prop- erly and move freely. Check for any parts that are broken or damaged enough to detrimentally affect the functioning of the device. Have dam- aged parts repaired before you use the device. Many accidents have their origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools.

f)Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

g)Use the electrical power tool, accesso- ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions and advice, and the stipulations drawn up for this particular type of device. In doing this, take into account the working conditions and the task in hand. The use of electrical power tools for purposes other than those intended can lead to dangerous situations.

Safety advice relating specifically to random orbital sanders

When working in outside areas, pro- tect yourself against leakage current by fitting an FI protection switch with a max. activation rating of 30 mA.

Use exclusively an extension cable that is certified for use outdoors Secure the workpiece firmly. Use clamps or a vice to firmly hold the workpiece. This results in a safer grip than with your hand. 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.

In event of danger, immediately re- move the power plug from the socket. Always run the power cable away from the appliance to the rear. Ensure that nobody is endangered by flying sparks. Remove combustible materials from the immediate vicinity. Flying sparks are pro- duced when metals are ground.

CAUTION! DANGER OF FIRE! Ensure that the material being ground and the grinder itself

do not overheat. Always empty the dust container before taking a break from work. Grinding dust in the dust sack, microfilter, paper sack (or in the filter sack or filter of the vacuum cleaner) can ignite automatically under unfa- vour-able conditions such as flying sparks when metal is being ground. There is a par-ticular hazard if the grinding dust is mixed with paint or polyurethane residues or other chemical sub- stances and the material being ground is hot af- ter being worked on for a prolonged period.

WARNING! TOXIC VAPOURS!

The working of materials that can produce harm- ful / toxic dusts presents a health risk for the oper- ator and for people located in the close vicinity.

Wear safety glasses and a dust protection mask!

When working for extended periods on wood and, in particular, materials that produce dusts that are hazardous to health, connect the appliance to an appropriate external suction device.

Provide for sufficient ventilation when working plastics, varnishes and paints. Do not soak materials or surfaces to be worked with liquids containing solvents.

The electric tool must only be used for dry grinding. The penetration of water into the electric device increases the risk of an elec- tric shock.

Avoid sanding lead-based paints or other materials that are hazardous to health.

Material containing asbestos may not be worked. Asbestos is considered to be a carcinogen.
