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.
Operations such as polishing 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.
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.
Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder spindle thread. For
accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. 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.
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 testtime.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield,
safety goggles or safetyglasses. Where 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 or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control of the
power tool, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the spinning accessory.
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.
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 uncontrolledpower 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 startup. The operator
can control torque reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are
taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
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.
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.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control over the power tool.
Safety warnings specific for grinding and abrasive cutting-off operations
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.
The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the
plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the
plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not
grind with the side of the cutoff wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended
for peripheral grinding; side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
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.
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. Additional safety warnings specific for
abrasive cutting off operations
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 body in line with and behind the rotating wheel. When the
wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, 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 making a “pocket cut” 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.
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any
interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel or brush
may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.
Further safety warnings
Do not wear easily flammable clothing. Sparks could cause such clothing to
ignite.
Use elastic spacers/liners when these are provided with the grinding
accessory.
Offset grinding discs must be mounted in such a manner that their grinding
surface is 2 mm below the bottom edge the of the wheel guard. Grinding
accessories that do not meet these requirements cannot be adequately covered
off and are not permitted.
Make sure that the application tools are mounted in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions. The mounted application tools must be able to
rotate freely.
Incorrectly mounted application tools can become loose during operation and be
thrown from the machine.
Handle grinding accessories carefully and store them according to the
manufacturer’s instructions. Damaged grinding accessories can develop cracks
and burst during operation.
When using application tools with a threaded insert, take care that the thread
in the application tool is long enough to hold the spindle length of the power
tool. The thread in the application tool must match the thread on the spindle.
Incorrectly mounted application tools can loosen during operation and cause
injuries.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself, other persons or animals.
Danger of injury from sharp or hot application tools.
Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or water conduits. Check the
working area before commencing work, e. g. with a metal detector.
Use a stationary extraction system, blow out ventilation slots frequently and
connect a residual current device (RCD) on the line side. When working metal
under
extreme operating conditions, it is possible for conductive dust to settle in
the interior of the power tool. The total insulation of the power tool can be
impaired.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the power tool. If the
insulation is damaged, protection against an electric shock will be
ineffective. Adhesive labels are recommended.
Always work with the auxiliary handle. The auxiliar handle ensures reliable
guiding of the power tool.
After working gypsum-containing materials: Blow out the ventilation openings
of the power tool and the
switch element with dry and oil-free compressed air.
Otherwise, gypsum-containing dust can settle in the power tool housing and
switch element, which can harden in connection with humidity. This can impair
the switching mechanism.
Before putting into operation, check the mains connection and the mains plug
for damage.
Recommendation: The tool should always be supplied with power via a residual
current device (RCD) with a rated current of 30 mA or less.
Hand/arm vibrations
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: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
Handling hazardous dusts
For work procedures with this power tool where material is removed, dusts
develop that can be hazardous to one’s health. Contact with or inhaling some
dust types, e. g. asbestos
and asbestos-containing materials, lead-containing coatings, metal, some wood
types, minerals, silicate particles from materials containing stone, paint
solvents, wood preservatives, antifouling paints for vessels, can trigger
allergic reactions to the operator or bystanders and/or lead to respiratory
infections, cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. The risk from
inhaling dusts depends on the exposition. Use dust extraction matched
appropriately for the developing dust, as well as personal protective
equipment and provide for good ventilation of the workplace. Leave the
processing of asbestos-containing materials to specialists.
Wood and light-metal dust, hot mixtures of grinding dust and chemical
materials can self-ignite under unfavourable conditions or cause an explosion.
Avoid sparking in the direction of the dust collector as well as overheating
of the power tool and the materials being sanded, empty the dust
collector/container in time, observe the material manufacturer’s working
instructions, as well as the relevant regulations in your country for the
materials being worked.
Operating Instructions.
Press the locking button only when the motor isstopped (see page 5). Otherwise the power tool may be damaged.
Features
The soft start is used to reduce torque reaction forces when switching on and
running up the power tool to the no-load speed.
The restarting protection prevents the power tool from automatically
restarting if the power supply is interrupted during operation. In this case,
switch off the power tool, check the power supply and then switch the power
tool on again.
The blocking monitor reduces the risk of motor damage and the risk of
accidents when an application tool blocks. In this case, the power tool
switches off automatically. Afterwards, set the switch to the off position,
remove the power tool from the workpiece and check the application tool for
damage. Afterwards, switch the power tool on again.
The electronic speed preselection enables the speed to be adapted to the
respective application and the respective application tool.
The kickback monitoring reduces the risk of unexpected kickback of the power
tool. In this case, the ower tool switches off automatically. Afterwards, set
the switch to the off position, remove the power tool from the workpiece and
check the application tool for damage. Afterwards, switch the power tool on
again.
