General safety advice
instructions and advice. Electrical power
tools are dangerous when they are used by
inexperienced people.
e) Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use
the device. Many accidents have their origins
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
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
conditions and the task in hand. The
use of electrical power tools for purposes other
than those intended can lead to dangerous
situations.
Appliance-specific Safety
Instructions
To avoid the risk of injury or fire as well
as health risks:
J When working outdoors, connect the appli-
ance via a residual current circuit-breaker with
a maximum breaking current of 30 mA.
J Only use an extension cord certified for use
outdoors.
J Secure the workpiece firmly. Use clamps / vices
to firmly hold the workpiece. It is thus better
secured than just with your hand.
J Never support your hands next to or in front of
the device or on the surface being worked as
there is a risk of injury in the event of slipping.
J In case of danger, immediately pull the power
plug from the socket.
J Always run the power cord away from the
appliance to the rear.

DANGER OF FIRE FROM FLYING
SPARKS! Abrading metal creates
flying sparks. For this reason, always
make sure that nobody is placed in any danger
and that there are no inflammable materials
near the working area.
J
WARNING!
NOXIOUS FUMES!
Any harmful / noxious dusts generated from
sanding represent a risk to the health of the
person operating the device and to anyone
near the work area.
J
WARNING!
DUST HAZARD!
When sanding
wood and in particular when work
ing
on materials that give rise to dusts that are haz-
ardous to health, the sander must be connected
to a suitable external dust extraction device.
Wear protective glasses and a dust
mask!
J Ensure sufficient ventilation when working on
plastics, paints, lacquers, etc.
J Do not soak materials or surfaces to be worked
with liquids containing solvents.
J Avoid sanding of lead-based paints or other
materials that are hazardous to health.
J Material containing asbestos may not be worked
on. Asbestos is considered a carcinogen.
J The appliance is designed for dry surface
sanding of wood, plastic, metal and smoothing
compounds as well as painted surfaces.
J Never work on moistened materials or wet
surfaces.
J Always hold the appliance firmly with two
hands while working (see also Fig. D, E).
J Always switch off the appliance and allow
the sanding pad

to come to a stop before
setting down the oscillating sander.
J Always pull the power plug out of the socket
for all work pauses, before any work on the
appliance (e.g. changing the sanding paper)
and when not in use.
J The appliance must always be kept clean, dry
and free of oil or lubricating greases.
J Always stay alert! Always pay attention to
what you are doing and act with common
sense. Never use the appliance when you are
distracted or don’t feel well.
