e) Avoid abnormal posture. Make sure that you
have secure footing and always maintain your
balance. This will allow you to better control the
electric tool in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide
clothing or jewellery. Keep hair and clothing
away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewel-
lery and long hair can be caught by moving parts.
g) If dust extraction and collection devices can
be mounted, these must be connected and
used properly. Using a dust extraction unit can
reduce hazards caused by dust.
h) Do not allow yourself to be lulled into a false
sense of security and do not ignore the safety
rules for electric tools, even when you have
used them many times and have become fa-
miliar with them. Careless actions can result in
serious injuries within a fraction of a second.
4) Using and handling the electric tool
a) Do not overload the electric tool. Use the elec-
tric tool intended for your work. The suitable
electric tool allows you to work better and more
safely in the indicated power range.
b) Do not use an electric tool whose switch is de-
fective. An electric tool that cannot be switched
on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the socket and/or take
out a removable battery before setting the
device, changing insertion tool parts or put-
ting the electric tool away. These precautionary
measures will prevent the electric tool for starting
unintentionally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach
of children. Do not let people use the electric
tool who are not familiar with it or who have
not read these instructions. Electric tools are
dangerous if they are used by inexperienced peo-
ple.
e) Maintain electric tools and tool attachments
with care. Check whether moving parts func-
tion properly and do not get stuck and wheth-
er parts are broken or are damaged and thus
adversely affect the electric tool function.
Have damaged parts repaired before using
the electric tool. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained electric tools.
f) Always keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges seize up less often and are easier to
guide.
g) Use electric tools, accessories, insertion tool,
etc. according to these instructions. Take the
working conditions and the activity to be car-
ried out into consideration. Using electric tools
for applications other than the intended uses can
lead to dangerous situations.

h) Keep the handles and gripping surfaces dry,
clean and free of oil and grease.
Slippery handles and gripping surfaces prevent
safe operation and control of the electrical tool in
unforeseen situations.
5) Service
a) Only have your electric tool repaired by qual-
ified specialists and only with original spare
parts. This ensures that safety of the electric tool
is maintained.
Safety instructions for table-top grinding ma-
chines
a) Do not use damaged tool inserts. Check in-
sert tools such as grinding discs for chipping
and cracks before each use. Once you have
checked and used the tool attachment, ensure
that you and all other persons in the vicinity
remain outside the plane of the rotating tool
attachment and allow the device to run for 1
min. at the maximum speed. Damaged tool at-
tachments usually break during this test period.
b) The permissible rotational speed for tool at-
tachments must be at least as high as the
maximum speed cited on the electric tool.
Accessories that rotate faster than permitted can
break and fly off at high speed.
c) Never grind on the side surfaces of the grind-
ing disc. Grinding on the side surfaces can cause
the grinding disc to break and fall apart.
m WARNING! This electric tool generates an elec-
tromagnetic field during operation. This field can im-
pair active or passive medical implants under certain
conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or
deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with
medical implants consult with their physician and the
manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operat-
ing the electric tool.
