d) Look after the device carefully. Check that
moving parts are working properly and
move freely. Check for any parts that are
broken or damaged enough to detrimen-
tally affect the functioning of the device.
Have damaged parts repaired before
you use the device. Many accidents have their
origins in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
e) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Care-
fully maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edg-
es are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
f) Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this
particular type of device. In doing this,
take into account the working condi-
tions and the task in hand. The use of
electrical power tools for purposes other than
those intended can lead to dangerous situations.

General safety advice
WArnIng!
tOXIC VAPOUrS!
The working of materials that can produce harm-
ful / toxic dusts presents a health risk for the oper-
ator and for people located in the close vicinity.
Wear safety glasses and a dust
protection mask!
J
When working for extended periods on wood
and, in particular, materials that produce dusts
that are hazardous to health, connect the appli-
ance to an appropriate external suction device.
J
Provide for sufficient ventilation when working
plastics, varnishes and paints.
J
Do not soak materials or surfaces to be worked
with liquids containing solvents. The heat gene-
rated during sanding can give rise to vapours
that are toxic or hazardous to health.
J
Avoid sanding lead-based paints or other
materials that are hazardous to health.
J
Material containing asbestos may not be worked.
Asbestos is considered to be a carcinogen.
J
Avoid contact with the moving sanding sheet.
J
