• Due to our continuing program of research and devel-
opment, the specifications herein are subject to change
without notice.
• Note: Specifications may differ from country to country.
Intended use
The tool is intended for surface work with natural stone.
Power supply
The tool should be connected only to a power supply of
the same voltage as indicated on the nameplate, and can
only be operated on single-phase AC supply. They are
double-insulated in accordance with European Standard
and can, therefore, also be used from sockets without
earth wire.
Safety hints
For your own safety, please refer to the enclosed safety
instructions.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR TOOL
1. Always use eye and ear protection. Other per-
sonal protective equipment such as dust mask,
gloves, helmet and apron should be worn.
2. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged before carrying out any work on the
tool.
3. Accessories must be rated for at least the speed
recommended on the tool warning label. Wheels
and other accessories running over rated speed
can fly apart and cause injury. Maximum operat-
ing speed of accessories should be higher than
the highest no load speed marked on the tool's
nameplate.
4. Check the backing pad carefully for cracks, dam-
age or deformity before operation. Replace
cracked, damaged or deformed pad immediately.
5. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
6. Hold the tool firmly.
7. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
8. Make sure the abrasive disc is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
9. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
10. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate
after the tool is switched off.

11. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after
operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.
12. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or
badly polluted by conductive dust, use a short-
circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety.
13. Do not use the tool on any materials containing
asbestos.
14. Some material contains chemicals which may be
toxic. Take caution to prevent dust inhalation
and skin contact. Follow material supplier safety
data.
15. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working
with.
16. Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear
when working in dusty conditions. If it should
become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect
the tool from the mains supply (use non metallic
objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.
17. For additional protection against electric shock,
be sure to WEAR RUBBER GLOVES AND RUB-
BER BOOTS during operation.
18. When using the water feed, be careful not to let
water get into the motor. If water runs into the
motor, an electric shock hazard may result.
19. Never use the tool without an isolating trans-
former.

Important Notes about Mains Connection for
110 Volts, 50 – 60Hz
ENB078-3
Caution! Read and observe these precautions before
using the tool. Non-observance of these precautions may
lead to personal injuries and damage to the tool!
The tool was built according to the European Standards
EN50144-1 (safety of hand-held, motor-driven power
tools; here in particular section 20.19: power tools with
water connection) and EN60309-2 (plugs, receptacles
and couplings for industrial applications). When applying
these standards, the earth contact position of the plug-in
device may only be carried out in "12 o'clock position".
The tool has a plug-in device with a "12 o'clock" earth
contact position.
However, since the European Standard EN60309-2 does
not provide a differentiation regarding the supply voltage
and this earth contact position, there is the possibility to
confuse the connection to an isolating transformer with
another output voltage (e.g. 230 V). When connecting
the tool to an isolating transformer, make absolutely sure
to use the correct output voltage (110 V, 50

14 Inhalation vent
–
60 Hz).
