attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol!
WARNING - Reading the operating instructions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING - Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all safety
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for future reference. Ensure all users of

4. Special Safety Instructions
4.1 Safety Warnings Common for the use of Rotary Impact Tool Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a Rotary Impact Tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Only Rotary Impact Surface Preparation operations shall be performed with this
power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Only use MontiPower®MBX®Belts and MontiPower®Adaptor Systems with this tool.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool
does not assure safe operation.
d) Do not use a damaged MBX®Belt or Adaptor System, inspect before use.
e) After replacement of the MBX®Belt, check Adapter System for correct assembly
f) After fitting accessories such as the Adapter System and MBX®Belt, always remove
Allen key / Torx wrench. Always ensure the Allen key / Torx wrench is removed prior
to switching on the tool.
g) When placing the tool on a bench or on the floor, the label must always point upward.
h) When not in use, disconnect the tool from the power supply and store in a suitable,
dry place to prevent unintentional or unauthorised use.
i) Always hold the tool by the body and the vertical handle when in operation
j) Use MBX®Belt in the correct operating direction (Figure 3).
k) The MBX®Belt can produce sparks when machining hard surfaces.
l) If the tool suddenly feels different (level of vibration) or produces a different noise
(pitch), the tool should be shut down immediately and the accessories such
as the Adapter System, MBX®Belt checked for damage.
m) Wear personal protective equipment. Always use a face shield,
safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,
gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece
fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated
by operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtering
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.

n) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work
area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of
a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond the immediate area of
operation
o) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only when performing an operation
where the MBX®Belt may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. The MBX®
Belt contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could cause an electric shock.
p) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The
spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
q) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the
spinning MBX®Belt could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
r) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents (Figure 2). The motor’s fan will draw
the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may
cause electrical hazards. The air vent cap may be removed for cleaning,
use non-metallic objects only.
s) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
t) Do not use any liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
4.2 Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a rotating wheel which can cause rapid stalling of
the rotating MBX®Belt which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced
in the direction opposite of the MBX®Belt’s rotation.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and arm to allow
you to resist kickback forces. Use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum
control over kickback or torque reaction during start-up. The operator can
control torque reactions or kickback forces if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating MBX®Belt. Accessory may
kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs.
Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the MBX®Belt’s movement at
the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and
snagging the MBX® Belt. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating MBX®Belt and cause loss of control or kickback, damage to the MBX®
Belt and even breakage of the tooth belt.
e) Do not attach any other belt or belt Adaptor System than that provided by the
manufacturer.

4.3 Additional Safety Instructions
WARNING – Always wear protective goggles.
• Accessories must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
• The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against slipping, e.g. using clamps.
Large workpieces must be sufficiently supported.
• We recommend connecting a residual current circuit-breaker (FI) upstream.
When the tool is shut down via the FI circuit-breaker, it must be checked and
cleaned. See Chapter 9 for more information on cleaning the motor.
• Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used.
• Disconnect the tool from the mains power supply before making any
adjustments, converting or servicing the machine.
• A damaged or cracked handle must be replaced. Never operate a machine with
a defective handle.
• A damaged or cracked hand guard must be replaced. Never operate a machine
with a defective protective cap.

Reducing dust exposure:
WARNING – Depending on the surface to be treated, some dust created by the
MontiPower®MBX®surface preparation process may contain chemicals known
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Examples of such
chemicals could include:
• 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 the surfaces being treated and
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to chemicals work in a well
ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment, such as 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 and asbestos. It may also lead to allergic reactions and respiratory
disease. 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 and avoid deposits in the surrounding
area. Use suitable accessories for special work to ensure fewer particles enter the
environment in an uncontrolled manner.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
• do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby
persons or on dust deposits,
• use an extraction unit and/or air puriers,
• ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean using a vacuum cleaner as
sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
• vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush.
