number *1), comply with all relevant requirements of
the directives *2) and standards *3). Technical file
at *4) - see page 3.

2. Specified Use

The machine is designed for glazing, tarnishing,
texturing, polishing and smoothing metal pipes
without the use of water.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage

3. General safety instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. Pass on your electrical tool only
together with these documents.

4. Special Safety Instructions

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, because the sanding surface
maycontact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
Flying sparks are created when sanding metal.
Ensure that no persons are in danger. Due to the
risk of fire, all combustible materials must be
removed from the work area (area affected by flying
sparks).
-
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
Wear tight-fitting protective gloves and clothing. Do
not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair
and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
10
Wear protective gloves.
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Wear a suitable dust protection mask (filter
class 3).
Secure the workpiece against slipping, e.g. with the
help of clamping devices.
Always guide the machine with both hands on the
machine housing and on the handles provided.
Loss of control can cause personal injury.
Check that the additional handles (9) are secure,
and tighten them with screws if necessary.
Never place your hand near rotating parts of the
device or near the rotating sanding belt.
Remove sanding dust and similar material only
when the machine is not in operation.
The rated speed of the sanding belt must be at least
equal to the belt speed in idling marked on the
power tool. A sanding belt running faster than its
rated speed can break and fly apart.
Check prior to each use that the sanding belt is
correctly attached and is completely on the rollers.
Carry out a trial run: Allow the machine to run at
idling speed for 30 seconds in a safe location. Stop
immediately if significant vibrations occur or if other
defects are noted. If such a situation occurs, check
the machine to determine the cause.
Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING - Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead-based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
