The eye protectionmust be capable of stopping flying debris generated byvarious operations. The dust mask or respirator must becapable of filtrating particles generated by your opera-tion. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise maycause hearing loss.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.Before switching on, make sure that no workpiece isinserted in the cylindrical grinding device. The work-piece can be thrown from the machine and cause seriousaccidents.Never touch the running grinding belt. Danger ofinjury.In situations of danger, immediately press the safetypushbutton. The machine runs on for approx. 50 sec-onds.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.The mains plug of the machine may be mounted only bya qualified electrician. The protective conductor in themains socket outlet must be connected with the protec-tive earthing of the mains supply.Pull out the mains plug for maintenance and repair!Switching the machine on unintentionally can lead toserious injuries.Have the electrical safety of the machine checked regu-larly in accordance with statutory regulations. Formachines that have not been checked, there may be dan-ger of electrical shock!Check the rotation direction of the motor before startingthe operation of the machine for the first time. If the rota-tion direction of the motor is incorrect, the workpiececan be thrown from the machine and cause an accident.The rotation direction may be changed only by a quali-fiedelectrician.Always work with great care and attention, especiallywhen inserting and removing the material. If your atten-tion fades, your hands may be seriously injured.The surface being worked can become very hot. Do nottouch it with your hands.Be careful when working short or thin material. Wheninserting and removing, your hands may be caught by thegrinding belt or brake wheel, causing serious injury.For longer pipes and round stock, we recommend theusing the pipe guide GXIS-1/GXIS-2.Exercise caution after switching off. The machine runs onfor approx. 50 seconds. Carry out adjustments and main-tenance only when the grinding belt is stopped.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 grinding 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.OBJ_BUCH-0000000308-001.book Page 12 Friday, May 25, 2018 11:29 AM
