Grasp/hold the power tool in such a safe man-
ner that your body never comes in contact
with the application tool, particularly when
working with application tools pointing
toward the gripping area, such as with saw
blades or cutting tools. Touching sharp cut-
ting edges or edges can lead to injury.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depend-
ing on application, 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 work piece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping
flying debris generated by various operations.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable
of filtrating particles generated by your oper-
ation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
Handling hazardous dusts.
When working with power
WARNING
tools, such as when grinding,
sanding, polishing, sawing or for other work
procedures where material is removed, dusts
develop that are both hazardous to one's
health and can spontaneously combust or be
explosive.
Contact with or inhaling some dust types can
trigger allergic reactions to the operator or
bystanders and/or lead to respiratory infec-
tions, cancer, birth defects or other reproduc-
tive harm.
Examples of such materials which contain
chemicals that can produce hazardous dusts,
are:
– Asbestos and materials containing asbes-
tos;
– Lead-containing coatings, some wood
types such as beech and oak;
– Minerals and metal;
– Silicate particles from bricks, concrete and
other materials containing stone;
– Solvent from solvent-containing paint/
varnish;
– Arsenic, chromium and other wood pre-
servatives;
– Materials for pesticide treatment on boat
and ship hulls;
– Stainless steel dust, metal dust and non-
ferrous metal dust;
Do not direct the power tool against yourself,
other persons or animals. Danger of injury
from sharp or hot application tools.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or
signs onto the power tool. If the insulation is
damaged, protection against an electric shock
will be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recom-
mended.
Clean the ventilation openings on the power
tool at regular intervals using non-metal
tools. The blower of the motor draws dust
into the housing. An excessive accumulation
of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
Before putting into operation, check the
power connection and the power plug for
damage.
Recommendation: The tool should always be
supplied with power via a ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) with a rated current of
30 mA or less.
To minimize the unwanted intake of these
materials:
– Use dust extraction matched appropriately
for the developing dust.
– Use personal protective equipment, such
as a P2 filter-class dust protection mask.
– Provide for good ventilation of the work-
place.
The risk from inhaling dusts depends on how
often these materials are worked. Materials
containing asbestos may only be worked on
by specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust can
CAUTION
cause spontaneous combus-
tion or explosions.
Hot mixtures of sanding dust and paint/var-
nish remainders or other chemical materials
in the filter bag or the vac filter can self-ignite
under unfavorable conditions, such as spark-
ing from sanding metal, continuous sunlight
or high ambient temperatures. To prevent
this:
– Avoid overheating the material being
sanded and the power tool.
– Empty the dust collector/container in time.
– Observe the material manufacturer's
working instructions.
– Observe the relevant regulations in your
country for the materials being worked.
