SAFETY wARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING
AND ABRASIVE CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS
f
Use only wheel types that are recommended
for your power tool and the specific guard de
-
signed for the selected wheel.
Wheels for which
the power tool was not designed cannot be ade-
quately guarded and are unsafe.
f
The grinding surface of the center 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.
f
The guard must be securely attached to the
power tool and positioned for maximum safe-
ty, so the least amount of wheel is exposed to-
wards the operator.
The guard helps to protect
operator from broken wheel fragments, acciden-
tal contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite
clothing.
f
Wheels must be used only for recommended
applications. For example: do not grind with
the side of the cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding; side
forces applied to these wheels may cause them to
shatter.
f
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.
f
Do not use worn down reinforced 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
f
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply ex
-
cessive 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 possibili-
ty of kickback or wheel breakage.
f
Do not position your body in line with and be
-
hind 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.
f
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 at-
tempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the
cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise
kickback may occur.
Investigate and take correc-
tive action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
f
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.
f
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kick
-
back.
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.
f
Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut”
into existing walls or other blind areas.
The pro-
truding wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electri-
cal wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
SAFETY wARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR SANDING OP
-
ERATIONS
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturers recommenda-
tions, when selecting sanding paper.
Larger
sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad
presents a laceration hazard and may cause snag-
ging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.
SAFETY wARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR wIRE BRUSH
-
ING OPERATIONS
f
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 pen-
etrate light clothing and/or skin.
f
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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY wARNINGS
f
wear safety goggles.
f
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility
lines are hidden in the work area or call the lo-
cal utility company for assistance.
Contact with
electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock.
Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Pene-
trating a water line causes property damage or
may cause an electric shock.
f
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs before
they have cooled down.
The discs can become
very hot while working.
f
Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off
position when the power supply is interrupt-
ed, e. g., in case of a power failure or when the
mains plug is pulled.
This prevents uncontrolled
restarting.
f
Secure the workpiece.
A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure
than by hand.
CONNECTION TO THE POwER SUPPLY
Make sure the power supply information on the
machine’s rating plate are compatible with the
power supply you intend to connect it to.
This appliance is Class II* and is designed for con-
nection to a power supply matching that detailed
on the rating label and compatible with the plug
fitted. If an extension lead is required, use an ap
-
proved and compatible lead rated for this appli-
ance. Follow all the instruction supplied with the
extension lead.
*Double insulated: This product requires no
earth connection as supplementary insu-
lation is applied to the basic insulation to
