Safety regulations
m WARNING ! Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all in-
structions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite acci-
dents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Dis-
tractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any
way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of elec-
Intended use/Safety regulations

12
tric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,
radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or un-
plugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.
• Recommendation that the tool always be supplied via a residual cur-
rent device having a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
3) Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position
before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch
or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may
result in personal injury.
Safety regulations

13
•Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
•Dress properly. 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.
•If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
•Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of power tools allow
you to become complacent and ignore power tool safety principles.
A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a sec-
ond.
4) Power tool use and care
•Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your ap-
plication. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
•Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is danger-
ous and must be repaired.
•Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the
battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing parts of insert tools, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
•Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not al-
low persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
•Maintain power tools and insert tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
Safety regulations

14
•Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier
to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and
grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5) Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the pow-
er tool is maintained.
• Warning! This electric tool generates an electromagnetic field during
operation. This field can impair active or passive medical implants un-
der certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly
injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult
with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior
to operating the electric tool.
• Additional safety rules for the belt and disc sanding machine
• Warning: Do not use your machine until it is completely assembled and
installed according to the instructions.
• If you are not familiar with the operation of the sanding machine, ask
the head of the department, your teacher, or any other qualified per-
son.
• Attention: This machine has only been designed for sanding wood or
similar materials. The sanding of other materials can cause fire, injuries,
or damage the product.
• Always wear safety goggles.
• This machine may only be operated indoors.
• Important: Mount and use the machine on a horizontal surface. A
non-horizontal surface can damage the motor.
Safety regulations

15
• If the machine tends to tilt or walk (especially when sanding long and
heavy panels), it must be fastened to a solid surface of sufficient carry-
ing force.
• Make sure the sanding belt runs in the correct direction – see arrows at
the back of the belt.
• Make sure the sanding belt is running correctly so that it cannot come
off the drive pulleys.
• Make sure the sanding belt is not twisted or loose.
• Firmly hold the workpiece when sanding.
• Always use the fence when using the sanding machine in horizontal
position.
• Always hold the workpiece firmly to the table when using the sanding
disc.
• Always hold the workpiece to the side of the sanding disc running
downwards, in order to maintain the workpiece pressed to the table.
By using the upward-running side of the sanding disc, the workpiece
could be ejected and cause injury to persons.
• Always keep a minimum distance of about 1.5 mm or less between the
table or fence and the sanding belt or disc.
• Do not wear gloves. Do not hold the workpiece with a cloth during
sanding.
• Use sanding belt or disc of the correct grit corresponding with the
wood.
• Never sand workpieces too small to be held safely.
• Avoid awkward hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your
hand to touch the sanding belt or disc.
• When sanding a large piece of material, provide an additional support
at table height.
• Never sand an unsupported workpiece. Secure the workpiece with the
table or the fence. Exceptions are the sanding of curved workpieces on
the outside of the sanding disc.
• Always clear the table, fence or sanding belt of scraps or other objects,
before turning the machine on.
• Do not perform any layout assembly or set-up work on the table while
the sanding machine is in operation.
Safety regulations

16
• Switch the machine off and pull the power plug from the socket when
fitting or removing accessories.
• Never leave the working area of the sanding machine while the tool is
running, or as long as it has not come to an absolute standstill.
Residual risks
The machine has been built using modern technology and in accordance
with recognized safety rules.
Some hazards, however, may still remain.
• The grinding wheel poses a danger of injury to fingers and hands by
improper feeding or placement of tools.
• Danger of injury from thrown tools due to improper holding or feed-
ing.
• The use of incorrect or damaged mains cables can lead to electrical
injuries.
• Although having regarded all considerable rules there may still remain
not obvious remaining hazrds.
• Minimize remaining hazards by following the instructions in ”Safe-
ty regulations”, ”Use only as authorized” and in the entire operating
manual.
