Do not use this power tool before you have thor-
oughly read and completely understood this
Instruction Manual and the enclosed "General
Safety Instructions" (document number
3 41 30 054 06 1). The documents mentioned should be
kept for later use and enclosed with the power tool,
should it be passed on or sold.
Please also observe the relevant national industrial safety
regulations.
Intended use of the power tool:
hand-guided straight grinder for commercial use, for dry
grinding of metal with grinding accessories, for brushing,
polishing and optionally for drilling, in weather-protected
environments using the application tools and accessories
recommended by FEIN.
Safety warnings common for sanding, sanding with
sanding sheets, working with wire brushes,
polishing and cut-off grinding
This power tool is to be used as a grinder. Observe all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and data supplied with
the power tool. Non-observance of the following instruc-
tions can lead to electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
This power tool is not suitable for sanding with sanding
sheets, working with wire brushes, polishing and cut-off
grinding. Applications, for which the power tool is not
intended for, can lead to hazardous situations and injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed
and recommended 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 arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other
accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool.
Accessories with arbor holes that do not match the
mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of bal-
ance, 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
14
rotating accessory and run the power tool at maximum no-
load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will nor-
mally break apart during this test time.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on appli-
cation, 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 operations.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating
particles generated by your operation. Prolonged expo-
sure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Any-
one entering the work area must wear personal protective
equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken acces-
sory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
Hold 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 shock the operator.
Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you
lose control of the power tool, the cord may be cut or
snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the
spinning accessory.
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.
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.
Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan
will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive accu-
mulation of powdered metal may cause electrical haz-
ards.
Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.
Sparks could ignite these materials.
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 acces-
sory. 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 mate-
rial 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 incor-
rect operating procedures or conditions and can be
avoided by taking proper precautions as given below.
