SAFETY wARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR GRINDING
AND ABRASIVE CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS
Use only wheel types that are recommended for
f
your power tool and the specific guard designed
for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the pow-
er tool was not designed cannot be adequately
guarded and are unsafe.
The grinding surface of the center depressed
f
wheels must be mounted below the plane of the
guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that proj-
ects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be
adequately protected.
The guard must be securely attached to the power
f
tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the
least amount of wheel is exposed towards the op-
erator. The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with
wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended appli-
f
cations. For example: do not grind with the side of
the cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are in-
tended for peripheral grinding; side forces applied
to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of
f
correct size and shape for your selected wheel.
Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus re-
ducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges
for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding
wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down reinforced wheels from
f
larger power tools. Wheels intended for larger
power tools are not suitable for the higher speed
of a smaller tool and may burst.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY wARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR
ABRASIVE CUTTING OFF OPERATIONS
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
f
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive
depth of cut. Overstressing the wheel increases
the loading and susceptibility to twisting or bind-
ing of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of
kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and behind
f
the rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point
of operation, is moving away from your body, the
possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel
and the power tool directly at you.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
f
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.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the work-
f
piece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully
re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or
kickback if the power tool is restarted in the work-
piece.
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to mini-
f
mize 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 work-
piece on both sides of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into
f
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 SANDING OP-
ERATIONS
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
f
paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding pa-
per extending beyond the sanding pad presents a
laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing
of the disc, or kickback.
SAFETY wARNINGS SPECIFIC FOR wIRE BRUSH-
ING OPERATIONS
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
f
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.
If the use of a guard is recommended for wire
f
brushing, do not allow any interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work load
and centrifugal forces.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY wARNINGS
Wear safety goggles.
f
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines
f
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance. Contact with electric lines
can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas
line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line
causes property damage or may cause an electric
shock.
Release the On/Off switch and set it to the off po-
f
sition when the power supply is interrupted, e. g.,
in case of a power failure or when the mains plug
is pulled.
Do not touch grinding and cutting discs before
f
they have cooled down. The discs can become very
hot while working.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped with
f
clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure
than by hand.
CONNECTION TO THE POwER SUPPLY
Make sure the power supply information on the
machine's rating plate are compatible with the
power supply you intend to connect it to.
This appliance is Class II* and is designed for con-
nection to a power supply matching that detailed
on the rating label and compatible with the plug
fitted. If an extension lead is required, use an ap-
proved and compatible lead rated for this appli-
ance. Follow all the instruction supplied with the
extension lead.
*Double insulated
earth connection as supplementary insulation is
applied to the basic insulation to protect against
electric shock in the event of failure of the basic
insulation.
