Special Safety Information
4.1 Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing, Polishing or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder. 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.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, polishing or cutting-off are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) 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.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hard ware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged accessory. 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.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use
face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust
mask, hearing protectors, gloves and a workshop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable
of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask
or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
I) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grap the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
4.2 Kickback and Related Warnings:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position your body and
arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start-up.
The operator can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.
4.3 Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Cutting-Off Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and
the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the
power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
b) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example:
do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are
intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may
cause them to shatter.
c) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing
the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different
from grinding wheel flanges.
d) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheels intended for
larger power tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and
may burst.
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been supplied with the abrasive and if required.
Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory manufacturer! Protect the
discs from grease or impacts!
Abrasives must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
The tool must lay flat and be secured against slipping, e.g. using clamps.
Large workpieces must be sufficiently supported.
For your own protection and for the protection of your power tool pay attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol!
Always wear protective goggles.
Do not grasp the rotating tool! Remove chips and similar matter only with the machine at standstill.
Prior to use, ensure that the coated abrasive is properly fitted and secured. Run the tool in idling for 30 seconds in a safe position and bring to a standstill immediately if there are significant vibrations or if other deficiencies are determined. If such a situation occurs, check the machine to determine the cause.
Ensure that sparks produced during work do not constitute a risk to the user or other personnel and are not able to ignite inflammable substances. Endangered areas must be protected with flame resistant covers. Make sure that fire-risk areas are always provided with suitable fire extinguishers.
Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful. Contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or bystanders. Certain kinds of dust are classified as carcinogenic such as oak and beech dust especially in conjunction with additives for wood conditioning (chromate, wood preservative). Material containing asbestos must only be treated by specialists.
– Where the use of a dust extraction device is possible it shall be used.
– The work place must be well ventilated.
– The use of a dust mask of filter class P2 is recommended.
Follow national requirements for the materials you want to work with.
Materials that generate dusts or vapours that may be harmful to health (e.g. asbestos) must not be processed.
When working in dusty conditions, ensure that ventilation openings are not blocked. If it becomes necessary to remove dust, first disconnect the power tool from the mains supply (use nonmetallic objects) and avoid damaging internal components.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used.

(sanding surfaces)
Kh,SG = Unsafe (vibration)
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration 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 vibration such as: maitain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
