Safety Notes
a)
This electric tool can be used as a grinder, and angle grinder. Please not all safety
advice, descriptions and data supplied with the unit. Disregarding these notes may lead
to electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b)
This electric tool is not suitable for use as sander, with a wire brush, or as polisher.
Using the tool in ways not intended by the manufacturer is dangerous and can cause
injury.
c)
Do not use attachments not especially designed for this device and recommended for
this device by the manufacturer. The fact that an attachment can be physically attached
to the tool does not ensure safe operation.
d)
The maximum allowed speed for an attachment must be at least as high as the no load
speed noted on the electric tool. Attachments spinning faster than allowed may be
destroyed.
e)
Outside diameter and thickness of the tool bit must correspond to the dimensions stated
on your electric tool. Attachments of the wrong size cannot be shielded and controlled
properly.
f)
Discs, flanges, and other attachments must precisely fit the spindle of your electric tool.
Tool bits which do not precisely fit the spindle turn irregularly, vibrate and can cause
loss of control.
g)
Do not use attachments which have been damaged in any way. Check attachments such
as grinding discs for missing bits and cracks. If the tool or the attachment has been
dropped, check it for damage or use an undamaged item. After the attachment has been
checked and attached, please keep yourself and other persons out of the rotating plane of
the attachment and let the machine run at full speed for one minute. Most damaged
attachments and tools will fail within that time.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment. Wear full face protection, eye protection, or safety
goggles as required. If necessary, wear a dust mask, ear protection, safety gloves or a
safety apron which protect you from flying fragments. The eyes must be protected from
flying debris, which are generated by many operations. Dust must be filtered out by the
dust mask or breath protection. If you are exposed to high levels of noise for extended
amounts of time, your hearing may be damaged.
i)
Keep other persons at a safe distance from your working area. Persons entering your
working area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the work piece or
the attachment may be thrown away and cause injuries outside the immediate working
area.
j)
Hold the unit only by the isolated handles while undertaking work during which the tool
or the attachment can touch hidden life wires or its own power cable. Contact with life
wires can cause metal parts of the housing to become life and can cause electric shock.
