General Safety Rules

Read all instructions. Failure to
WARNING
follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious per-
sonal injury.
Save these instructions.
1) Safety instructions for the sander with the
vacuum cleaner
Keep the vacuum cleaner
away from rain and moisture.
Do not vacuum liquids and
use the sander only for dry
sanding. Water entering the
vacuum cleaner increases the
risk of an electric shock.
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite acci-
dents.
b) Keep children and other persons away
while operating the sander. Distractions can
cause you to lose control over the machine.
c) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when working with the
sander. Do not use the machine while tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating the machine may result in serious per-
sonal injury.
d) Wear personal protective equipment and
always wear safety goggles. Depending on
the type of sander and the application, the wear-
ing of personal protective equipment such as a
dust mask, protective gloves, or hearing protec-
tion, reduces the risk of injuries.
e) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
f) Store the idle sander and vacuum cleaner
out of the reach of children. Do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the equipment or
who have not read the instructions to use
the sander and vacuum cleaner. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
g) Do not use the vacuum cleaner when the
mains cable is damaged. Do not touch the
damaged cable and pull the mains plug
when the cable is damaged while working.
Damaged cables increase the risk of an electric
shock.
h) Do not work materials containing asbes-
tos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
i) Connect vacuum cleaners that are used in
the open via a residual current device
(RCD).

j) Make sure that the switch of the sander is
in the "0" position before switching on the
vacuum cleaner. This safety measure prevents
unintended starting of the sander.
k) Do not use the sander if its "On/Off"
switch is defective. A machine that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
l) Caution, fire hazard! Avoid overheating the
object being sanded as well as the sander.
Always empty the dust collector before
taking breaks. In unfavourable conditions,
e. g., when sparks emit from sanding metals,
sanding debris in the dust bag, micro filter or
paper sack (or in the filter sack or filter of the
vacuum cleaner) can self-ignite. Particularly
when mixed with remainders of varnish, poly-
urethane or other chemical materials and when
the sanding debris is hot after long periods of
working.
m)Use the sander, accessories and tool
inserts, etc., according to these instruc-
tions and as prescribed for this specific
machine type. Take the working conditions
and procedure into account. Use of the
sander for applications other than intended for
can lead to hazardous situations.
n) Switch the vacuum cleaner off before per-
forming adjustments on the machine,
changing accessory parts or placing down
the sander. This safety measure prevents unin-
tended starting of the sander.
o) Maintain the sander and the vacuum
cleaner with care. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that may
affect the operation of the machine. Have
damaged parts repaired before using the
machine. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
p) Have the sander and the vacuum cleaner
repaired only through qualified specialists
and only using original spare parts. This
ensures that the safety of your machine is main-
tained.
2) Safety instructions for the sander
a) Do not allow children to use the vacuum
cleaner without supervision. Children can
injure themselves.
b) Keep the vacuum cleaner away from rain
and moisture. Water entering the vacuum
cleaner increases the risk of an electric shock.
