WARNING!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized 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 and 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, the vibration and noise emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and 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 vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.

TYRE BUFFER SAFETY WARNINGS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

•  This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. 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.
•  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.
• 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.
• 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.
• The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle or collet of the power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
• Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or other accessories must be fully inserted into the collet or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
• 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.
•  Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and 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.
•  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.
•  Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. M12 FTB.
• Always hold the tool firmly in your hand(s) during the start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
• Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use your hand(s) to control the tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump toward you.
•  Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
• After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjustment devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
•  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.
•  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.
•  Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
•  Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

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.

• 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.

• 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.

• the cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the direction of this feed.

• When using rotary files, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When a rotary file, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool.

Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations:

• Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

• For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged
  wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder flange that are of correct size and length. Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.

• Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing
  the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

• Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your hand, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

• When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate
  and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

•  Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

•  Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.

•  Use extra caution when sawing into existing walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:

• Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:

• Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
• Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute before using them. During this time no one is to stand in front or in line with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the run-in time.
•  Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you. Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity during the use of these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.

Safety instructions for all operations
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Safety instructions when using long drill bits
Never operate at higher speed than the maximum speed rating of the drill bit. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury. Always start drilling at low speed and with the bit tip in contact with the workpiece. At higher speeds, the bit is likely to bend if allowed to rotate freely without contacting the workpiece, resulting in personal injury. Apply pressure only in direct line with the bit and do not apply
excessive pressure. Bits can bend causing breakage or loss of control, resulting in personal injury.

ADDITIONAL **SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

**

When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fire, no combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark flight zone). Do not use dust extraction. Avoid flying sparks and sanding dust hit your body. Only use properly fitting and undamaged open-end spanners. The insertion tools must run completely concentrically. Do not continue to use out-of-round insertion tools, instead, replace before continuing to work. Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running. Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running. Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to find out the cause. Make sure that the insertion tool comes to a complete stop before laying it down. Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with the arbour and vulcanized fibre grinding wheel), significant contamination can build up on the inside of the die grinder. Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots – danger of short circuit! Always use and store accessories according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
WARNING! Danger of burns! The wheel and workpiece will become hot during use. Wear gloves when changing discs or touching workpiece. Keep hands away from the grinding area at all times.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of fire, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in fluid or allow a fluid to flow inside them. Corrosive or conductive fluids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can cause a short circuit.
Do not use this tool to work on asbestos-containing products. Determine the composition of the workpiece before beginning work. Asbestos should only be removed by a qualified professional. The inner shank dimension L0 can be used to calculate the maximum permitted speed of the insertion tool from the specifications provided by manufacturer of the insertion tool. It must not be less than the maximum speed of the power tool. The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be steady. Never move the workpiece towards the rotating insertion tool by hand. Remove dust and debris from the collet body and clean the insertion tool mandrel before inserting it.
Insertion tools should be protected from:

• wetness and extreme humidity
• any type of solvent
• extreme changes in temperature
•  dropping and bumping Insertion tools should be stored:
•  in an organized way so the insertion tools can be removed without disturbing or damaging other insertion tools
•  with their safety information

Insertion tools should NOT be dropped, rolled or bumped.

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS

Installing Accessories

1. Remove dust and debris from the collet body before inserting accessory.
2. Insert the collet with the collet nut attached into the collet body. Thread the collet nut onto the spindle but do not tighten it yet.
3. Clean the accessory mandrel, then insert it a minimum of 1″ (25,4 mm) into the collet. The mandrel will overhang the collet and the accessory about 1/2″ (12,7 mm).
4. Hold the spindle shaft steady with a 1/2″ (12,7 mm) open end wrench and securely tighten the collet nut with an 11/16″ (17,5 mm) open end wrench.
5. Reverse the procedure when removing the accessory.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of injury, always securely tighten the collet to the grinders and clean mandrels before inserting them into the collet. Otherwise the high-speed rotation of the tool could force the accessory to fly out of the collet.

Operation

If you have just installed an accessory or are beginning a period of work, test it by letting it spin for one minute before applying it to the workpiece.
WARNING! Never use an accessory that has been dropped. Out-of-balance or damaged accessories can mar workpiece, damage the tool, and cause stress that may cause accessory failure. Use a clamp, vise or other practical means to hold your work. Allow accessory to come to full speed before beginning work.
Control pressure and surface contact between accessory and workpiece.
WARNING! Never bang accessories onto work. Too much pressure causes accesry failure or slows speed.

Make sure the tool comes to a complete stop before laying the tool down. If the tyre buffer begins vibrating, immediately stop the motor and check to see if the accessory is dull. Dull accessories will cause the tool to vibrate and could force the collet to fly off the tool. Always replace or sharpen dull accessories. Accessories are designed for specific uses. Only use points, cones, plugs, grinding wheels and cut-off wheels for applications for which they were designed. Follow manufacturer’s care and use instructions.
