• The machine may only be used, maintained, and op-
erated by persons familiar with it and instructed in its
operation and procedures. Arbitrary alterations to the
machine release the manufacturer from all responsi-
bility for any resulting damages.
• The machine may only be used with original acces-
sories and tools made by the manufacturer.
• The machine may not be operated with sanding belts.
5. General safety instructions for power
tools
• WARNING Read all warnings and instructions.
Failure to apply all warnings and instructions can lead
to electrical shock, re and/or serious injury.
• Keep all warnings and instructions handy for fu-
ture consultation.
• The term “power tool” used in the warnings refers to
power tools that are connected to a source of electri-
cal energy (with an electrical cable)
1) Workplace safety
a) Keep your working area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dimly lit workspaces can lead to accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in areas where explosions
could take place, or in which ammable liquids, gases
or dust are present. Power tools can create sparks,
which can cause dust or fumes to ignite.
c) Keep children and bystanders away from the power
tool when it is being used. Distractions could cause
you to lose control over the equipment.
2) Electrical safety
a) The terminal plug of the tool must t into the outlet.
The plug may not be modied in any way. Do not use
an adaptor plug together with grounded power tools.
The original plugs and the appropriate outlets reduce
the risk of an electrical shock.
b) Avoid contact with grounded surfaces, such as
pipes, radiators, stoves and refrigerators. There is
an increased risk of electrical shock, if your body is
grounded.
c) Keep power tools away from rain or wet conditions.
Penetration of water into the power tool increases the
risk of electrical shock.
d) Do not use the cable for any purpose other than that
for which it was made. Do not use it to carry the tool,
hang it up, or to pull the plug out of the outlet. Keep
the cable away from heat, oil, sharp corners or parts
of the equipment that move. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electrical shock.
e) When operating the power tool outdoors, only use
extension cords that are suitable for outdoor use. The
use of an appropriate extension cord reduces the risk
of an electrical shock.
f) If the power tool must be used in a damp environment,
use a residual current protective device. The use of
such a device reduces the risk of electrical shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Be attentive, watch what you are doing and use the
power tool sensibly. Do not use power tools when you
are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or
medicines. One moment of inattention while using a
power tool can result in serious injury.
b) Wear personal protective equipment and always
wear protective glasses. Wearing personal protec-
tive equipment, such as a dust mask, slip-free safe-
ty shoes, protective headwear or ear protection, de-
pending on the type and use of a power tool reduces
the risk of injury.
c) Avoid unintentional start-ups. Make sure that the
power tool is shut off before it is connected to the
power supply, or is carried. If you have your nger
on the switch of the tool while carrying it, or have the
tool turned on, or connected to a power supply, this
behaviour can lead to accidents.
d) Remove the adjustment aides or the spanners be-
fore turning on the power tool. A tool or wrench that
is located in a rotating part of the machine, can lead
to injuries.
e) Avoid abnormal posture. Make sure that the operator
is standing rmly and can maintain balance. This al-
lows the operator to maintain control over the power
tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose cloth-
ing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away
from the moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or
long hair can get caught in the moving parts.
g) If dust vacuums or catching systems can be installed
on the tool, make sure that these are correctly con-
nected and assembled. The use of a dust exhaust unit
can reduce hazards caused by dust.
4) Use and treatment of the power tool
a) Do not overtax the tool. Use the appropriate tool for
the work that is to be done. With the correct power
tool, you can work better and more safely.
b) Do not use a power tool where the switch is defec-
tive. A power tool that cannot be turned on and off is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the wall outlet before you
make adjustments to the tool, change parts or put
the tool away. This precaution prevents inadvertent
start-ups of the tool.
d) Store power tools that are not in use out of reach of
children. Do not let anyone use the tool who does not
have experience with it, or who has not read these in-
structions. Power tools can be dangerous when they
are used by inexperienced people.
e) Take good care of your power tools. Make sure that
movable parts function properly and do not jam, see
that parts which inuence the use of the machine are
not broken or damaged. Repair damaged parts be-
fore operating the tool. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting edges sharp and clean. Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges jam less
often and are easier to control.
