5. Service

General safety advice for grinding, sanding, wire brushing, polishing and disc-cutting:
a) This electrical power tool is intended for use as a grinding, sanding and disc-cutting machine. Observe all the safety advice, instructions, information in figures and all other information you received with this device. If you do not observe the following advice it could lead to electric shock, fire and / or serious injury.
b) Normative statement / advice for this tool is not applicable.
c) Do not use any accessory not specifically intended by the manufacturer for this electrical power tool. Although an accessory may fit on your electrical power tool, this does not on its own guarantee that it can be safely used.
d) The maximum permitted speed of an attachment must be at least as high as the maximum speed indicated for the electrical power tool. An accessory rotating faster than its permitted speed could disintegrate or fly off.
e) The external diameter and the thickness of the attachment must be compatible with the dimensions of your electrical power tool. Attachments that are not dimensionally compatible cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Grinding discs, flanges, grinding wheels or other accessories must fit exactly on to the spindle of your electrical power tool. Attachments that do not exactly fit on the spindle turn unevenly, vibrate severely and could lead to loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged attachments. Before every use check attachments such as grinding discs for loose fragments and cracks, grinding wheels for cracks, deterioration or excessive wear and wire brushes for loose or broken wires. If the electrical power tool or attachment is dropped, inspect for damage or change the attachment for an undam-aged one. When you have inspected and inserted the attachment, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating attachment and run the device at maximum speed for one minute. Damaged attachments will usually break apart during this test.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Use a full face visor, safety goggles or safety glasses, depending on the application. Wear a dust mask, hearing protectors, safety gloves or special apron capable of stopping particles of the grinding medium or workpiece, as appropriate for the task. Eyes must be protected from the flying debris which can arise from some operations. Dust or breathing masks must be capable of filtering out the dust generated by the application. Prolonged exposure to loud noise can lead to hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders at a safe distance from your work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the work-piece or of a broken attachment could fly off and cause injury beyond the immediate working area.
j) Hold the device by the insulated handle surfaces when you are undertaking work where there is the danger of the attachment striking hidden electricity cables or the device’s mains lead. Contact with a live wire could cause metal parts of the device to become live and lead to electric shock.
k) Keep the mains lead away from rotating attachments. If you lose control of the device the mains lead may become severed or trapped and your hand or arm may be pulled into the rotating attachment.
I) Never lay the electrical power tool down until after the attachment has come to a complete standstill. The rotating attachment may snag when it comes into contact with the surface and cause you to lose control of the device.
m) Do not have the electrical power tool running while you are carrying it. Your clothing could become trapped by unintentional contact with the rotating attachment and the tool could be pulled into your body.
n) Clean the ventilation slots on your electrical power tool regularly. The motor’s fan draws dust into the housing. A build-up of metal dust could give rise to an electrical hazard.
o) Never use the electrical power tool near inflammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) . not use attachments that require the use of coolants. The use of water or other liquid coolants could result in electric shock.
Safety advice relating to kickback
Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating attachment, such as a grinding doe .n a.,4, wire brush etc. Pinching or snagging results in the rotating attachment coming to an abrupt stop. This causes the electrical power tool (ifOTtrolled) to move in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the attachment at the point of constraint. If, for example, a grinding disc is pinched or snags in a workpiece, this can cause the edge of the grinding disc to penetrate the workpiece, become trapped there and either free itself or kickback. The grinding disc moves towards or away from the operator, depending on the direction of movement of the disc at the point of constraint. The grinding disc could also break. Kickback occurs as a result of incorrect use or misuse of the electrical power tool. It can be prevented by taking the appropriate precautions as described below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the electrical power tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use the auxiliary handle, if provided, to exercise the greatest possible control over kickback forces or reaction torques as the device builds up to full speed. By taking suitable precau-tions the operator can control kickback and reaction forces.
b) Do not place your hands near a rotating attachment. If kickback occurs the attachment could move over your hand.
c) Avoid positioning your body in the area into which the electrical power tool would move in the event of a kickback. A kickback moves the electrical power tool in the opposite direction to the direction of movement of the grinding disc at the point of constraint.
d) Work particularly carefully in the area of corners, sharp edges etc. to avoid the attachment bouncing or snagging on the workpiece. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating attachment. This causes loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not use saw-chain woodcarving discs or toothed discs. Such attachments create frequent kickback and loss of control of the electrical power tool.
Special safety advice relating to grinding and disc-cutting
a) Always use the guard designed for the type of abrasive consumable you are using. Always use abrasive consumables approved for use with your electrical power tool. Abrasive consumables not approved for use with your electrical power tool cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) To ensure the highest level of operational safety, the disc guard cover must be attached to the electrical power tool and set in such a way that the smallest possible area of the abrasive consumable is exposed to the operator. The disc guard cover is there to protect the operator from pieces breaking off and acci- dental contact with the abrasive consumable.
c) Abrasive consumables must be used only for their recommended purposes, For example: never grind with the side face of a cutting disc. Cutting discs are intended for removing material using the edge of the disc. Sideways forces on these abrasive consumables can cause them to break.
d) Always use an undamaged mounting flange of the correct size and shape for your selected grinding disc. Suitable flanges support the grinding disc and reduce the chance of it breaking. Flanges for cutting discs are different from the flanges for other abrasive discs.
e) Never use worn down abrasive consumables intended for larger electrical power tools. Abrasive consumables intended for larger electrical power tools are not designed for the faster rotational speeds of these smaller electrical power tools and could break.
Further special safety advice for disc-cutting
a) Avoid snagging the cutting disc and do not use too much contact pressure. Do not attempt to make excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc increases the load and the tendency of the disc to twist or snag in the cut, making kickback or disc breakage more likely.
b) Avoid the area in front of or behind the rotating cutting disc. If the cutting disc is moving away from you at the point of constraint in the workpiece, then, in the event of a kickback, the electrical power tool and the rotating disc may be thrown towards you.
c) If the cutting disc jams or you stop work for a while, switch the device off and hold it until the disc comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to pull the still rotating cutting disc out of the cut as this could cause kickback. Determine and rectify the reason for the jamming.
d) Do not switch on the device if the cutting disc is in the workpiece. Allow the cutting disc to reach full speed before carefully continuing with the cut. Otherwise the disc could snag, jump out of the workpiece or cause a kickback.
e) Support boards or workpieces whilst cutting to reduce the risk of kickback caused by a jammed cutting disc. Large workpieces may bend under their own weight. The workpiece must be supported to both sides of the cutting disc and particularly near the cutting disc and at the workpiece edge.
f) Be particularly careful when pocket cutting in existing walls or other areas where you cannot see what you are cutting into. The cutting disc plunged into the surface could cut through gas or water pipes, electricity cables or other objects and cause kickback.
Special safety advice for abrading using sandpaper
Do not use over-sized sanding sheets. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for sanding sheet size. Sanding sheets that project beyond the backing pad could cause injury in addition to jamming, tearing of the sheet or kickback.
Special safety advice for polishing
Do not use the polishing bonnet if it has any loose parts, in particular the fastening cords. Tuck the fastening cords away or trim them. Loose fastening cords rotating with the attachment could catch your fingers or become trapped in the workpiece.
