▶ Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.
▶ Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
▶ Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
▶ Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
▶ Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
▶ Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
2.2 Safety warnings for all operations
Safety warnings common for grinding or sanding operations:
▶ This power tool is intended to function as a grinder or sander. 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 wire brushing, polishing, hole cutting or cutting-off are not 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 convert this power tool to operate in a way which is not specifically designed and specified
by the tool manufacturer. Such a conversion may result in a loss of control and cause serious personal
injury.
▶ Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and specified 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.
▶ The dimensions of the accessory mounting must fit the dimensions of the mounting hardware of
the power tool. 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 test time.
▶ Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or
safety glasses. As 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 applications. The dust mask or respirator must be capable
of filtrating particles generated by the particular application. 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, the cord may be cut or snagged
and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
