Secure work. Use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using your hands and it frees both hands to operate the
tool.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
Wear proper clothing. Do not wear loose clothing, neck-ties or jewellery (ring, wristwatches etc.) to catch in moving parts.
Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear protective covering to contain long hair. Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
Use safety goggles (Head protection). Wear goggles approved to the relevant standards at all times. Normal spectacles only
have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses. Also, use face or dust mask if application is dusty and ear protectors
during all operations.
Sound levels. Some types of machines may have high sound levels when working. In such cases ear protection must be worn.
Vibration levels. Hand held power tools produce different vibration levels. You should always refer to the specifications and
the relevant Health and Safety guidelines.
Dust extraction. If your tool is fitted with a dust extraction facility, always ensure that it is connected and being used with a
dust extractor. Vacuum cleaners can be used if suitable for the material being extracted.
Check damaged parts. Before use, any blade guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, free running of
moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its operation. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre unless otherwise indicated in this
instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by an authorised service centre. Do not use the tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off.
Have your tool repaired by a qualified person. Use of this electric tool is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements.
Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise this may result in considerable

improperly mounted or used abrasive products is dangerous and can cause serious injuries.
Delivery, handling and storage. Abrasive products must be handled and transported with care. Abrasive products must be
stored in such a manner that they are not subjected to mechanical damaged and harmful environmental influences.
Selection of the abrasive product. Information on the label or the abrasive product stating restrictions of use, safety
indications or any other instructions must be followed. In case of doubt concerning the selection of abrasive products, the
user shall request information from the manufacturer or supplier.
Visual inspection and ring test. Abrasive products must be subjected to a visual inspection as received before mounting. In
addition, a ring test shall be executed for vitrified wheels with D>80mm. Damaged abrasive products shall be destroyed.
Mounting before starting and information for grinding. The mounting of abrasive products shall be carried out according to
the instructions provided by both the wheel and the machine manufacturer. Mounting of abrasive products must be carried
out by a qualified trained person. After initial mounting, the wheel must be test run for a reasonable time - the specified
maximum operating speed of the wheel shall not be exceeded.
