WARNING
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.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all
instructions, including those given in the accompanying
brochure. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety warnings that are common for grinding, sanding,
wire brushing, pol ishing and abrasive cutting off
opera tions:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
sander, wire brush, polisher or cut-off tool. Read all
safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and

hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
f) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or
other accessories must be fully inserted into the collet
or chuck. The "overhang" or the length of the mandrel
from the wheel to the collet must be minimal. If the
mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the overhang of the
wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose
and ejected at high velocity.
g) 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.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop 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.
i) 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.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a "live" wire will
also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
k) Always hold the tool firmly in your hands during the
start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates
to full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
l) 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 both hands 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.
m) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
n) 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.
o) 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.
p) 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.
q) 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.
r) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
s) 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.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. The operator can control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken.
b) 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.
c) Do not attach a thin toothed saw blade. Such blades
create frequent kickback and loss of control.
d) Always feed the bit into the material in the same
direction as 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.
e) When using steel saws, 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 the steel saw, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide
cutter grab, it may jump from the groove and you could lose
control of the tool.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Do not "jam" a 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.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the
cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power
tool is restarted in the workpiece.
g) 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.
h) 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 Wire Brushing Operations:
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) 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.
