Technical Data
Wear ear protectors!
The values stated are emission values and as such do not necessarily
constitute values which are safe for the workplace. Although there is a
correlation between emission levels and environmental impact levels, whether
further precautions are necessary cannot be derived from this. Factors in
uencing the actually present environmental impact level in the workplace
include the characteristics of the work area and other noise sources, i.e. the
number of machines and other neighbouring work processes. The permitted
workplace values can likewise vary from country to country. This information
is intended to assist the user in estimating hazards and risks.
WARNING
The noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardized test given in EN 62841 and may be used to
compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared noise emission level represents the main applications of the
tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, noise emission may differ. This may
significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to noise should also take into account
the times when the tool
is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may
significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects
of noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories and organization of
work patterns.
Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Read and understand the operating instructions before using the appliance.
Familiarise with the control elements and how to use the appliance properly.
Abide by all the safety measures stated in the service manual. Act responsibly
toward third parties. The operator is responsible for accidents or risks to
third parties.The operator is responsible for
accidents or risks to third parties.
Persons over 16 years of age can only work on the appliance. An exception
includes youngsters trained in order to reach knowledge under supervision of
the trainer during occupational education.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term „power tool“
in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-
operated (cordless) power tool.
-
Work area safety
- Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases 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.
-
Electrical safety
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded..
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
- When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
-
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 personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
-
Prevent unintentional starting.
Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising 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 jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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 dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
-
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
-
-
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 and/or the battery pack from the power tool 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 and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power 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, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
-
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow
for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

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.
Bench grinder safety warnings
- Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use, inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
- The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
- Never grind on the sides of a grinding wheel. Grinding on the side can cause the wheel to break and fly apart.
Risk of injury!
- Keep body parts and clothes away from rotating parts of the device.
- Only transport the device when the mains plug has been disconnected.
- Always ensure that the device is adequately stable and secured.
- Carry out a visual inspection before switching the appliance on.
