Special safety instructions
Operations such as rough grinding or cut-off
grinding are not recommended to be per-
formed with this power tool. Operations for
which the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs
onto the power tool. If the insulation is dam-
aged, protection against an electric shock will
be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recom-
mended.
Wear personal protective
Depending on the application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropri-
ate, wear dust mask, hearing protection,
gloves and shop apron capable of protecting
you against flying debris from the accessory
or workpiece. The eye protection must be
capable of protecting against flying particles
generated by the various different operations.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtering particles generated by your operation.
Prolonged exposure to high-intensity noise may
cause loss of hearing.
The rated speed of the polishing accessory must
be at least equal to the maximum speed marked
on the power tool. Polishing accessories running
faster than their rated speed can fly apart.
Do not use accessories which are not specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the
power tool manufacturer. Safe operation is not
ensured merely because an accessory fits your
power tool.

For Your Safety

Do not use accessories that require liquid cool-
ants. Using water and other liquid coolants
may result in electrocution or shock injuries.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your
polishing accessory must be within the capac-
ity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
polishing accessories cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
The arbour size of the polishing accessory,
flanges, sanding plates and any other acces-
sory must properly fit the spindle of the power
tool. Polishing accessories with arbour holes
that do not match the spindle of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and
may cause loss of control.
Do not use damaged polishing accessories.
Before each use inspect application accessories
such as sanding plates, polishing discs, polish-
ing sponges, wire brushes for chips and cracks,
polishing plates for cracks, tears or excess wear
and wire brushes for loose or broken wires. If
the power tool or the polishing accessory is
dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged polishing accessory. After inspect-
ing and installing a polishing accessory, position
yourself and bystanders away from the plane of
the rotating polishing accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one
minute. Damaged polishing accessories will nor-
mally break apart during this test time.
equipment.
Make absolutely sure that the polishing acces-
sory is mounted in accordance with the man-
ufacturer's instructions. The mounted polish-
ing accessory must be able to rotate freely.
Incorrectly mounted polishing accessories can
loosen during operation and fly off.
Always work using the auxiliary handle or the
gear housing cover. The auxiliary handle or
the gear housing cover ensures reliable guid-
ance of the power tool.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool
at regular intervals. The motor blower draws dust
into the housing. An excessive accumulation of
metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
Keep bystanders away from the working
area. Anyone entering the working area must
wear personal protective clothing/equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken polishing
accessories can fly out and also cause injuries
to persons outside the actual working area.
