Before starting any grinding or sanding operation, it is recommended to carry out a risk assessment and select appropriate personal protective equipment according to the application and the material being sanded. Dust from the workpiece material may be generated during use, so national regulations for dust exposure limits must be taken into account.

• Respiratory protection: Use suitable respiratory protective equipment when dust formation cannot be adequately controlled by local exhaust or extraction.
• Hand protection: Wear protective gloves to reduce the risk of mechanical injury and skin contact with dust.
• Eye and face protection: Wear safety goggles or a face shield to protect against airborne particles.
• Hearing protection: Use appropriate hearing protection when working with power sanders that generate high noise levels.
• Body protection: Wear suitable protective clothing to prevent contamination of personal garments and reduce skin exposure to dust.
