Special safety notes regarding polishing
• Do not permit parts of the polishing hood to be
loose, in particular, fixing cords. Conceal or
shorten fixing cords. Loose, rotating fixing
cords may catch your fingers or get trapped in the
work piece.
Additional safety information
• Prevent uncontrolled starting up. Switch the
product off or pull out the plug if the power supply
is interrupted, e.g. due to a power failure.
• Secure the workpiece. The workpiece can be
protected from rebounding or from being flung
away uncontrollably by a clamping mechanism or
a vice (e.g. if the tool becomes jammed).
• Keep the workplace clean. Mixed contamina-
tion by different substances is particularly danger-
ous. Light metal dust (e.g. aluminium) can easily
ignite or explode.
• Do not use the electrical tool with a damaged
cable. Never touch a damaged cable and
immediately pull out the plug. Damaged
cables increase the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid overheating the device and workpiece.
Excess heat can damage both tool and product.
• Keep the handles dry and free from grease.
Slippery handles can cause accidents.
• Always heed the applicable national and inter-
national safety, health and labour regula-
tions. Before commencing work, inform yourself
regarding the regulations valid at the location
where the product is to be used.
• Remember that moving parts may also be located
behind ventilation and venting slots.
• Symbols appearing on your product may not be
removed or covered. Information on the product
that are no longer legible must be replaced imme-
diately.
Read and observe the operating instruc-
tions before commissioning.
Dust extraction
Dusts from materials such as lead-containing paint,
some types of wood, minerals and metal may be
harmful to health. Touching of inhaling the dusts can
cause allergic reactions and/or ailments of the res-
piratory tract of the user or persons in the vicinity.
Certain dusts such as oak or beech dust are consid-
ered carcinogenic, particularly in combination with
wood treatment additives (chromate, wood preserva-
tives). Materials containing asbestos may only be
processed by experts.
– Always use a dust extraction facility.
– Make sure the workplace is well ventilated.
– Always wear a dust protection mask.
– Observe the regulations valid in your country for
the materials to be processed.
Risks caused by vibrations
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to vibra-
tions! Vibrations may, in particular for
persons with circulation problems, cause
damage to blood vessels and/or nerves.
If you notice any of the following symp-
toms, stop working immediately and con-
sult a doctor. Numbness of body parts,
loss of sense of feeling, itching, pins and
needles, pain, changes in skin colour.
The vibration values specified in the technical data
represent the main uses of the device. The actual
existing vibrations during use may deviate from these
as a result of the following factors:
• Incorrect use of the product;
• Unsuitable tools inserted;
• Unsuitable material;
• Insufficient maintenance.
You can reduce the risks considerably by following
the tips below:
– Maintain the device in accordance with the
instructions in the operating instructions.
– Avoid working at low temperatures.
– When it is cold, make sure your body and your
hands, in particular, are kept warm.
– Take regular breaks and move your hands at the
same time to promote circulation.
– Always wear a dust protection mask. We recom-
mend wearing a dust protection mask which
meets filter class P2.
