This equipment:
• While in use, has hot, electric and moveable parts;
• Has type B (fl at blade with ground) plug with ground conductor. For your safety, do not eliminate the
ground terminal and do not use adapter with only 2 terminals – electric shock risk;
• May cause mechanical or electrical interference on nearby sensitive equipments;
• Requires maintenance and proper PPE (personal protective equipment) to be operated, such as dust
glasses, gloves, ear protection and safety shoes. This reduces the risks against personal injury.
• Must be installed and operated in places that are ventilated and protected against moist presence
and water falling and must not operate in places where non-authorized people, children or animals
may have access to.
3.
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, the following is recommended:
• For protection against electric shock, it is recommended to install a residual current circuit breaker.
Consult an electrician to select and install this safety device;
• Do not use the equipment barefoot, in wet or very humid places, do not touch metal surfaces such
as pipes, motors, gutters, fences, windows, doors, metal gates, etc, this increases the risk of electric
shock;
• Do not perform maintenance with the equipment ON, or remove the accessories, clean or touch the
electric parts without fi rst disconnecting the equipment from the power supply;
• Never use conductor (extension cord) out of the specifi cations; the conductor must not contain spli-
ces. Do not make splices in the cord. If required, ask for a power cord replacement at the nearest
Schulz Authorized Dealer (The costs of power cable replacement are the sole responsibility of the
customer).
• Power outlet must be compatible to the tool plug. To reduce the risk of shock, do not change the plug
characteristics and do not use adapters. If required, replace the outlet with a plug suitable model.
• Never use the voltage selection switch with the plug conected in the grid.
• Do not use your electric equipment in explosive atmospheres (gas, fl ammable liquid or dust). The
motor and the grinding wheel generate sparks that may cause explosion;
• Make sure the power trigger is in the “off” position before connecting the equipment to the power
grid.
