Safety matters regarding the power tool

Warning! Read all safety warnings, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to do so may result in electric shock, fire or serious injury. Keep all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” used in warnings applies to all tools driven by power both wired and wireless tools.

Workplace safety
Keep the workplace well-lit and clean. Disorder and poor lighting can be causes of accidents. Do not work with power tools in an environment with an increased risk of explosion, containing flammable liquids, gases or vapors. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite dust or fumes. Children and third persons should not be allowed to enter the workplace. Loss of concentration an result in loss of control.

Electrical safety
The plug of the electric cable must match the power socket. You must not modify the plug in any way. Do not use any plug adapters with earthed power tools. An unmodified plug that fits the outlet reduces the risk of electric shock. Avoid contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators and coolers. Grounding the body increases the risk of electric shock. Do not expose power tools to contact with atmospheric precipitation or moisture. Water and moisture that gets inside the power tool increases the risk of electric shock. Do not overload the power cable. Do not use the power cord to carry, pull or unplug the power plug from the power outlet. Avoid contact of the power cable with heat, oils, sharp edges and moving parts. Damage or entanglement of the power cord increases the risk of electric shock. In the case of working outside closed rooms, use extension cords intended for work outside closed rooms. The use of an extension cord adapted for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
When using a power tool in a humid environment is unavoidable as a protection against supply voltage use a residual current device (RCD). The use of RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety
Stay alert, pay attention to what you do and keep common sense while working with the power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or medication. Even a moment of inattention while working can lead to serious personal injury. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. The use of personal protective equipment such as dust masks, anti-slip safety shoes, helmets and hearing protection reduces the risk of serious personal injury. Prevent accidental operation. Make sure that the electric switch is in the “off” position before connecting to the power supply and/or battery, lifting or moving the power tool. Moving the power tool with the finger on the switch or powering the power tool, when the switch is in the “on” position can lead to serious injuries. Before turning on the power tool remove any keys and other tools that were used to adjust it. The key left on the rotating parts of the power tool can lead to serious injuries. Do not reach and do not lean too far. Keep the right attitude and balance all the time. This will allow easier control over the power tool in case of unexpected work situations. Dress accordingly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts of the power tool. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught by moving parts. If the devices are fitted for the connection of dust extraction or dust collection, make sure that they are connected and used properly. The use of dust extraction reduces the risk of dust hazards. Do not let the experience acquired from frequent use of the tool resulted in carelessness and ignoring safety rules. Carefree action can cause serious injuries in a fraction of a second.

Use and care of the power tool

Do not overload the power tool. Use the power tool appropriate for the selected application. The right power tool will provide a better and safer job if used according to the designed load. Do not use the power tool, if the electric switch does not allow switching on and off. Power tool, which cannot be controlled by means of a power switch is dangerous and must be returned for repair. Disconnect the plug from the power socket and/or remove the battery if it is detachable from the power tool before adjusting, changing accessories or storing the tool. Such preventive measures will allow you to avoid accidentally turning on the power tool. Keep the tool out of the reach of children, do not let people who do not know how to operate the power tool or these instructions use a power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check the tool for mismatches or jams of moving parts, damage to parts, and any other conditions that may affect the operation of the power tool. Damage must be repaired before using the power tool. Many accidents are caused by incorrectly maintained tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp edges are less prone to jamming and are easier to control when working. Use power tools, accessories and inserted tools etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the type and conditions of work. The use of tools for work other than designed is likely to result in a dangerous situation. Handles and gripping surfaces must be dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and gripping surfaces do not allow for safe operation and control of the tool in dangerous situations

Repairs

Operation of the tool

Mounting the inserted tool
Attention! The steps described in this chapter should be carried out only when the power supply is disconnected. Pull the plug of the tool out from the socket!
During the installation of the inserted tool equipped with sharp edges, be careful and use personal protective equipment, in particular protective gloves. Lift, and then turn for 180 degrees the lever of the quick installation mechanism (Il). Install the inserted tool which is designed for the selected type of work. Mount the inserted tool holder on the spindle handle so that the work was as easy as possible, yet safe. Attention! It is prohibited to assemble at the place, where the working part of the inserted tool (blade) would be directed towards the tool operator. Make sure, that the holes of the tool are inserted in line with the pins of the handle spindle (III). Attention! It is prohibited to mount the tool of the place where the inserted tool will be mounted with less than two pins. Attention! It is possible to install the inserted tools with open or closed mounts. The lever of mechanism for rapid installation is equipped with protection, which protects the operator’s fingers against being trapped by the descending lever. Before you completely lower the lever you should move the protection to the position which is enabling to close the lever (IV). Turn the lever of the quick installation mechanisms for 180 degrees, allowing the inserted tool to be mounted int spindle handle. Push the lever of the quick installation, so as o protect it from accidental opening during its operation (IV)
Attention! Adapter for grinding may be provided with a pad located in the mounting hole, before mounting the adapter for grinding, the pad should be removed from the opening, for example by a small screwdriver.

Mounting the abrasive sheet (V)
When you select as an inserted tool the adapter for grinding, before starting the work you need to install a sanding sheet on it. The adapter is equipped with a velcro pad, to which the sanding sheet should be attached in such a way so the edges of the sheet would be covered with the adapter edges. For adapters that are equipped with holes for dust extraction, you should apply sanding sheets with holes. While attaching the sheet to the adapter, you should ensure that the holes in the sheet would cover the holes in adapter.

Dust extraction (VII)
The tool is equipped with the attached dust extraction system. Dust extraction fulfills its role only in the case of work performed with the grinding adapter. The dust extraction should be installed before installing the grinding adapter. The front part of the exhaust should be translated through the spindle so, the catches would be blocked on the protrusions of tool housing. The rear part of the dust extraction should be secured with a clamp engaging at the bottom row of the rear air vents. The dust extraction outlet should be connected to an external dust extraction system. In the case of using an external installation of dust extraction, you should follow the instructions supplied with these installations.

Installation of the auxiliary handle (VIII)
The tool enables for a two-handed grip, even without a mounted auxiliary handle, but where the handle will not interfere with the work, e.g. due to lack of space, it should be installed by firm screwing to the hole in the housing on the left or right side.

Preparation for work
Remove the plug of the power supply cable from the socket. Before any work with the tool, it is required to make sure the housing and the connection cord with the plug are not damaged. In case any damage is detected, it is prohibited to connect the tool to the mains! Insert the insertion tool designed for the given kind of work. Wear eye and hearing protectors and working gloves. Make sure the switch is, OFF”, and then insert the plug of the power supply cable to the mains socket. Adopt an adequate position, which guarantees stability during work and turn the tool on using the switch.

Using the tool
Commence work applying the insertion tool to the material to be processed. During work do not exert excessive pressure against the material being processed and do not make sudden movements, so as to avoid any damage to the insertion tool or the abrasive sheet. Due to the level of vibration noise and dust generated by the tool, it is necessary to make regular breaks during work. Avoid overloading the tool, the temperature of the external surfaces at any time must not exceed 60°C. Always use individual protection means: working gloves, safety goggles and hearing protection. Remove accumulated dust from the abrasive sheet from time to time. In order to do so turn the tool off and slightly tap the foot of the grinder. Do not process different materials using the same abrasive sheet! Once the work has concluded turn the tool off, remove the plug of the power supply cable from the mains socket, and begin maintenance and inspection of the tool. The declared total value of vibration has been measured through a standard measurement method and may be used to compare different tools. The declared total value of vibration may be used for the purpose of a preliminary evaluation of exposure. Attention! The actual vibration while operating the tool may vary from the declared value, depending on the use of the tool. Attention! It is required to specify the safety measures to protect the operator, which are based upon the evaluation of exposure under actual conditions of work (including all the stages of the working cycle, e.g. the periods when the tool is off or is idling and the periods of active operation)

Maintenance and Overhaul

ATTENTION! Before any adjustment, technical service or maintenance operations unplug the tool. Once the operations have been finished, the technical conditions of the tool must be assessed by means of external evaluation and inspection of the following elements: body and handle, conductor with a plug and deflection functioning of the electric switch, patency of ventilation slots, sparking of brushes, the noise level of functioning of bearings and gears, start-up and smoothness of operation. During the guarantee period, the user cannot dismantle the electric tools or change any sub-assemblies or elements, since it will cancel any guarantee rights. All irregularities detected at overhaul or during the functioning of the tools are a signal to have the tool repaired at a service shop.
