GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION FOR POWER TOOLS

WARNING!

Read all instructions
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

• Store all safety notes and safety instructions for future reference. The term power tool in all of the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.

SAFETY AT WORK

• Keep work area clean and well lit.
  Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.

• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.
  Distractions can cause you to lose control.

PERSONAL SAFETY

• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.
  A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used.
  Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.

POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

• Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

• Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

• Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained electrical tools.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
  Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed.
  Use of the power tool for operations different from intended could result in hazardous situation.

SERVICE

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

SHARED SAFETY NOTES REGARDING GRINDING, SANDPAPER SANDING, WORKING WITH WIRE BRUSHES, POLISHING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING.

• This power tool is to be used as a sandpaper grinder, sandpaper sander, wire brush, polisher and abrasive cutting tool. Observe all the safety notes, instructions, representations and data received with the
  power tool. If you do not observe the following instructions, electrical shock, film and/or serious injuries may be the result.

• Do not use accessories that have not been designed and recommended by the manufacturer for this specific power tool. Just because you are able to attach an accessory to your power tool this does not guarantee that it is safe to use.

• The permitted revolutions of the tool must be at least as high as the highest revolutions specified on the power tool. Accessories that rotate faster than they are permitted to may break and fly.

• The external diameter and thickness of the tool must match the dimensional specification of your power tool.
  Incorrectly dimensioned tools cannot be sufficiently shielded or controlled.

• Sanding discs, flanges, sanding plates or other accessories must fit precisely to the sanding spindle of your power tool. Tools that do not fit precisely to the sanding spindle of the power tool will rotate unevenly, vibrate heavily and may cause loss of control over the device.

• Do not use damaged tools. Before each use, check tools like sanding discs for chips and tears, sanding plates for tears, wear or heavy use, wire brushes for loose or broken bristles. If the power tool or the tool itself is dropped, check to see whether it is damaged or use an undamaged tool.
  When you have checked and inserted the tool, ensure that you and any other people in the vicinity are out of the sphere of influence of the rotating tool and operate the power tool for a minute at the highest revolutions. Damaged tools will usually break within this test period.

• Wear personal safety gear. Depending on the work you are doing, wear a full- face visor, visor or protective goggles. If appropriate, wear a dust mask, ear defenders, protective gloves or a special apron designed to keep sanding and material particles away from you. Your eyes should be protected from the flying objects that may be generated during various applications. Dust or breathing masks must be capable of filtering the dust generated during operation. If you are exposed to loud noise for extended periods, you may suffer a loss of hearing.

• Ensure that other people are kept a safe distance from your workplace.
  Anyone entering the workplace must wear personal protective gear. Pieces of the work piece or broken tools may fly away and cause injuries even outside the direct working area.

• Hold the device by the insulated surfaces only when carrying out work during which it is possible that the tool may come across hidden power cables or its own cable. Contact with a cable that carries power will subject the metal parts of the device to current and will lead to electrical shock.

• Keep the power cable away from rotating tools. If you lose control over the power tool, the power cable may be cut or caught and your hand or arm may be pulled into the rotating tool.

• Never set the power tool down before the tool has come to a completed standstill. The rotating tool may come into contact with the surface and cause you to lose control over the power tool.

• Never operate the power tool when you are carrying it. Your clothing may be caught as a result of accidental contact with the rotating tool causing the tool to injure you.

• Clean the ventilation slots of your power tool regularly. The motor fans draw dust into the housing and a large deposit of metal dust can cause electrical hazards.

• Never use power tool near flammable materials. Sparks may set fire to these materials.

• Do not use tools that require a liquid cooling agent. The use of water or other liquid cooling agents may lead to electrical shock.

KICKBACK AND THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY NOTES

Kickback is a sudden reaction caused as a result of a jammed or blocked rotating tool, for example, a sanding disc, sanding plate, wire brush etc.

Jamming or blocking causes the rotating tool to come to an abrupt stop.
This causes an uncontrolled power tool to accelerate against the direction of rotation of the tool at the blocked point.
For example, if a grinding disc becomes stuck or blocked in a work piece, the edge of the grinding disc that dips into the work piece may get caught and the grinding disc will break away or cause kickback. The grinding disc will then move towards the operator or away from them in accordance with the direction of rotation of the disc at the blocked point.
This may also cause grinding discs to break.

A kickback is a consequence of incorrect or faulty use of the power tool.
It can be pre-vented by the use of suitable measures, as described below:

• Hold the power tool securely with both hands and position your body and arms in such a way that you are able to absorb any kickback. Always use the additional handle, if there is one avail-able, in order to ensure you have the greatest possible control over kickback forces or reaction torque when the tool is at top speed. The operator is able to master kickback or reaction forces if they take the appropriate care

• Never put your hand close to the rotating tool. The tool may move over your hand in the event of kickback

• Keep your body out of the area that the power tool would jump to in the event of kickback. Kickback pushes the power tool in the opposite direction to the movement of the sanding disc at the blocked point.

• Be especially careful around corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid tools bouncing off work pieces and becoming jammed. The rotating tool will tend to jam at corners, sharp edges or when it bumps against something.
  This will lead to a loss of control or kickback.

• Do not use chained or toothed saw blades. Such tools will often cause kick-back of the loss of control over the power tool.

SPECIAL SAFETY NOTES REGARDING GRINDING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING

• Only use grinding tools permitted for use with your power tool and the protective hood designed for use with these tools. Grinding tools that have not be designed for use with the power tool cannot be sufficiently
  shielded and are thus unsafe.

• Grinding tools may only be used for the purposes recommended. For example: Never use the side surface of a cutting disc to grind. Cutting discs are designed to be used to remove material with the edge of the disc. Lateral forces on these tools may break them

• Always used undamaged tensioning flanges in the correct size and shape for the cutting disc you have selected.
  Suitable flanges support the cutting disc and thus reduce the risk of the disc breaking. Flanges for cutting discs may differ from flanges for other grinding discs

• Do not use worn grinding disc from larger power tools. Grinding discs for larger power tools are not designed to cope with the higher revolutions of smaller power tools and may break

FURTHER ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTES REGARDING ABRASIVE CUTTING.

• Avoid jamming the cutting disc or applying too high a pressure. Do not carry out any excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc increases the pressure and the tendency to tilt or block and thus increases the risk of kick-back or of the disc breaking.

• Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotating disc. If you operate the device in such a way that the cutting disc in the work piece is moved away from you, in the event of kickback, the power tool and the rotating disc may be thrown towards you.

• If the cutting disc is jammed or you need to interrupt your work, switch the power tool off, and hold it motionless until the disc has come to a standstill. Never attempt to pull a still operating cutting disc out of the
  cut as this may cause kickback. Investigate and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the jam.

• Do not switch the power tool back on as long as it remains stuck in the work piece. Allow the cutting disc to achieve the full revolutions before you continue to cut carefully. Otherwise, the disc may get caught, jump out of the work piece or cause kickback.

• Support panels or large work pieces to minimize the risk of kickback caused by a trapped disc. Large work pieces may bend under their own weight. The work piece must be supported on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge.

• Be very carefully when making plunge cuts in existing walls or in other areas that are difficult to see. The plunging disc may cut into gas or water pipes, electrical cables or other objects and cause kickback.

SPECIAL SAFETY NOTES REGARDING SAND-PAPER SANDING

• Do not use over dimensioned sanding sheets, instead following the manufacturer’s instructions regarding size. Sanding sheets that protrude beyond the sanding plate may cause injuries, jamming and tearing of the sheets or cause kickback.

SPECIAL SAFETY NOTES REGARDING POLISHING

• Do not permit parts of the polishing hood to be loose, in particular, fixing cords. Conceal or shorten fixing cords. Loose, rotating fixing cords may catch your fingers or get trapped in the work piece.

SPECIAL SAFETY NOTES REGARDING WORKING WITH WIRE BRUSHES

• Please note that wire brushes will lose wire bristles during normal operation.
  Do not overload the wires by applying too high a pressure. Flying wire bristles may easily pass through very thing clothing and/or skin.

• If a protective good is recommended, make sure that the hood and the wire brush do not make contact. Wheel and cup brushes may increase in diameter as a result of pressure and centrifugal forces.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTES

• Prior to starting work, use appropriate tool to determine whether there are any hidden supply lines are located on the area you are working in.
  If in doubt, ask the relevant supply services. Contact with power lines may cause fire and electrical shock. Damaging a gas pipe may cause an explosion. Damaging a water pipe leads to considerable property damage and may cause electrical shock.

• Avoid uncontrolled restarting. Switch the tool off when the power supply is interrupted, for example, by a power failure or pulling the plug.

• Secure the work piece. Use tensioning equipment or a vice to secure the work piece to help prevent kickback or uncontrolled flying of the work piece (e.g. when getting jammed in the work piece.)

• Keep your workplace clean. Mixed contamination by various materials is particularly dangerous. Light metal dust (e.g. aluminum) can ignite or explode easily.

• Inform yourself about the surface to be sanded and any dusts and vapors that may be generated. If in doubt, do not breathe in even small amounts of the generated dusts and vapors. When sanding certain surfaces (various
  metals, minerals or woods as well as weather protecting paints) damaging/poisonous dusts may be generated which can cause allergic reactions or serious illness. Do not breathe these dusts and vapors in and avoid all contact. Materials containing asbestos may only be processed by specialists.

• Never use the power too with a damaged cable. Do not touch a damaged cable and pull out the power plug. Damaged cables increase the risk of electric shock.

• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
  Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

• Prevent overheating of the device and the work piece. Excess heat may damage the tool and the device.

• Shortly after being used, the tool may be very hot. Allow a hot tool to cool down. Touching a hot tool may cause burns.

• Never clean a hot tool with flammable liquids. There is a risk of fire and explosion.

• Keep the handles dry and free of grease. Slippery handles can lead to accidents.

• Always comply with the all applicable domestic and international safety, health, and working regulations.
  Inform yourself before you start work about the regulations that apply at the site of the device.

• Remember that moving parts may also be located behind ventilation and venting slots.

• Symbols appearing on your product may not be removed or covered. Signs on the product that are no longer legible must be replaced immediately.

Read and observe the instructions for use before using the product for the first time.
