Warning!
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized
test given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of
exposure.
The declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for
different applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may differ. This may
significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched
off or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working
period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool
and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organization of work patterns.
Grinding thin sheets of metal or other easily vibrating structures with a large surface can result in a total noise emission much
higher (up to 15 dB) than the declared noise emission values. Such workpieces should as far as possible be prevented from
emitting sound by suitable measures such as the application of heavy flexible damping mats. The increased noise emission is
also to be considered for both the risk assessment of noise exposure and selecting adequate hearing protection.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING!
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.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference.
The term „power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-opera-
ted (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark
areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmosphe-
res, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating
a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfa-
ces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed
or grounded.
b) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in
the off-position before connecting to power source and/
or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying
power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power
tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating
part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
lery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving
parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce
dust-related hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or
remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accesso-
ries, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) 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.
