14 enFor your safety.Read all safety warnings and allinstructions. Failure to follow thewarnings and instructions may result in electric shock,fire and/or serious injury.Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.Do not use this power tool before you have thor-oughly read and completely understood thisInstruction Manual and the enclosed “GeneralSafety Instructions” (document number3 41 30 054 06 1). The documents mentioned should bekept for later use and enclosed with the power tool,should it be passed on or sold.Please also observe the relevant national industrial safetyregulations.Intended use of the power tool:Hand-guided belt file for dry sanding and polishing ofmetal materials with belts, in weather-protected environ-ments using the application tools and accessories recom-mended by FEIN.This power tool is also suitable for use with AC genera-tors with sufficient power output that correspond to theStandard ISO 8528, design type G2. This Standard is par-ticularly not complied with when the so-called distortionfactor exceeds 10 %. When in doubt, please refer to thegenerator instruction/specification guide.Special safety instructions.Wear protective equipment. Depending on the applica-tion, wear face shield or safety goggles. Wear dust maskand protective gloves. Wear hearing protection. Thesafety glasses must be suitable to protect against the par-ticles flung about from different operations. The dustmask or respirator must be capable of filtering the parti-cles developing during work. Continuous high exposureto noise can lead to loss of hearing.Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, becausethe belt may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wiremay make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”and could give the operator an electric shock.While working, do not wear loose clothing, jewellery oropen, long hair. Despite protective devices, loose objectscan be snagged or caught by moving parts and lead toinjury.Do not use worn, torn or heavily clogged sanding belts.Handle sanding belts carefully and store them accordingto the manufacturer’s instructions. Do not bend or foldsanding belts! Damaged sanding belts can tear, be flungaway and injure someone.Never touch the running sanding belt. Danger of injury.Secure the workpiece firmly. A work piece that is grippedtightly in a clamping device or vice, is more secure than ifheld by hand.Hold the power tool firmly. High reaction torque canbriefly occur.Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto thepower tool. If the insulation is damaged, protectionagainst an electric shock will be ineffective. Adhesivelabels are recommended.Do not use accessories which are not specificallydesigned and recommended by the power tool manufac-turer. Safe operation is not ensured merely because anaccessory fits your power tool.Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at regu-lar intervals using non-metal tools. The blower of themotor draws dust into the housing. An excessive accu-mulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.Before putting into operation, check the mains connec-tion and the mains plug for damage.Recommendation: The tool should always be suppliedwith power via a residual current device (RCD) with arated current of 30 mA or less.Handling hazardous dustsFor work procedures with this power tool where mate-rial is removed, dusts develop that can be hazardous toone’s health.Contact with or inhaling some dust types, e. g. asbestosand asbestos-containing materials, lead-containing coat-ings, metal, some wood types, minerals, silicate particlesfrom materials containing stone, paint solvents, woodpreservatives, antifouling paints for vessels, can triggerallergic reactions to the operator or bystanders and/orlead to respiratory infections, cancer, birth defects orother reproductive harm. The risk from inhaling dustsdepends on the exposition. Use dust extraction matchedappropriately for the developing dust, as well as personalprotective equipment and provide for good ventilation ofthe workplace. Leave the processing of asbestos-contain-ing materials to specialists.Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of sanding dustand chemical materials can self-ignite under unfavourableconditions or cause an explosion. Avoid sparking in thedirection of the dust collector as well as overheating ofthe power tool and the materials being sanded, empty thedust collector/container in time, observe the materialmanufacturer’s working instructions, as well as the rele-vant regulations in your country for the materials beingworked.Hand/arm vibrationsThe vibration emission level given in this informationsheet has been measured in accordance with a standard-ised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compareone tool with another. It may be used for a preliminaryassessment of exposure.The declared vibration emission level represents themain applications of the tool. However if the tool is usedfor different applications, with different accessories orpoorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ.This may significantly increase the exposure level overthe total working period.An estimation of the level of exposure to vibrationshould also take into account the times when the tool isswitched off or when it is running but not actually doingthe job. This may significantly reduce the exposure levelover the total working period.Identify additional safety measures to protect the opera-tor from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tooland the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisationof work patterns.WARNINGOBJ_BUCH-0000000010-002.book Page 14 Tuesday, October 5, 2010 10:38 AM
