Safety instructions for table-top grinding ma-
chines
a)
Do not use damaged tool inserts. Check in-
sert tools such as grinding discs for chipping
and cracks before each use. Once you have
checked and used the tool attachment, ensure
that you and all other persons in the vicinity
remain outside the plane of the rotating tool
attachment and allow the device to run for 1
min. at the maximum speed. Damaged tool at-
tachments usually break during this test period.
b)
The permissible rotational speed for tool at-
tachments must be at least as high as the max-
imum speed cited on the electric tool. Accesso-
ries that rotate faster than permitted can break and
fly off at high speed.
c)
Never grind on the side surfaces of the grind-
ing disc. Grinding on the side surfaces can cause
the grinding disc to break and fall apart.
m WARNING! This electric tool generates an electro-
magnetic field during operation. This field can impair
active or passive medical implants under certain con-
ditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly
injuries, we recommend that persons with medical im-
plants consult with their physician and the manufactur-
er of the medical implant prior to operating the electric
tool.
Additional safety rules for the Oscillating edge-,
belt- and spindle sanders
WARNING: Do not use your machine until it is com-
pletely assembled and installed according to the in-
structions.
• If you are not familiar with the operation of the sand-
ing machine, ask the head of the department, your
teacher, or any other qualified person.
• 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 hori-
zontal surface. A non-horizontal surface can dam-
age the motor.
• 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 carrying force.
• Firmly hold the workpiece when sanding.
26 | GB
• Do not wear gloves. Do not hold the workpiece with
a cloth during sanding.
• 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 oper-
ation.
• 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 ma-
chine while the tool is running, or as long as it has
not come to an absolute standstill.
• Always place the work piece on the grinding table.
To sharpen bent tools with the grinding disc, place
them securely on the table.
Remaining hazards
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 fin-
gers and hands by improper feeding or placement
of tools.
• Danger of injury from thrown tools due to improper
holding or feeding.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use
of improper electrical connection cables.
• Although having regarded all considerable rules
there may still remain not obvious remaining hazrds.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "safety in-
structions" and the "Proper use" are observed along
with the whole of the operating instructions.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the oper-
ating button may not be pressed when inserting the
plug in an outlet.
