Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replace-
ment parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
power tool is maintained.
Shared safety notes regarding grinding,
sandpaper sanding, working with wire brushes,
polishing and abrasive cutting.
• This power tool is to be used as an sandpaper
grinder, sandpaper sander, wire brush, pol-
isher and abrasive cutting tool. Observe all
the safety notes, instructions, representa-
tions and data received with the power tool.
If you do not observe the following instructions,
electrical shock, film and/or serious injuries may
be the result.
• Do not use accessories that have not been
designed and recommended by the manufac-
turer for this specific power tool.
Just
because you are able to attach an accessory to
your power tool this does not guarantee that it is
safe to use.
• The permitted revolutions of the tool must be
at least as high as the highest revolutions
specified on the power tool.
Accessories that
rotate faster than they are permitted to may break
and fly.
• The external diameter and thickness of the
tool must match the dimensional specifica-
tion of your power tool.
Incorrectly dimen-
sioned tools cannot be sufficiently shielded or
controlled.
• Sanding discs, flanges, sanding plates or
other accessories must fit precisely to the
sanding spindle of your power tool.
Tools
that do not fit precisely to the sanding spindle of
the power tool will rotate unevenly, vibrate heav-
ily and may cause loss of control over the device.
• Do not use damaged tools. Before each use,
check tools like sanding discs for chips and
tears, sanding plates for tears, wear or heavy
use, wire brushes for loose or broken bris-
tles. If the power tool or the tool itself are
dropped, check to see whether it is damaged
or use an undamaged tool. When you have
checked and inserted the tool, ensure that
you and any other people in the vicinity are
out of the sphere of influence of the rotating
tool and operate the power tool for a minute
at the highest revolutions.
Damaged tools will
usually break within this test period.
• Wear personal safety gear. Depending on the
work you are doing, wear a full-face visor,
visor or protective goggles. If appropriate,
wear a dust mask, ear defenders, protective
gloves or a special apron designed to keep
sanding and material particles away from
you.
Your eyes should be protected from the fly-
ing objects that may be generated during various
applications. Dust or breathing masks must be
capable of filtering the dust generated during
operation. If you are exposed to loud noise for
extended periods, you may suffer a loss of hear-
ing.
• Ensure that other people are kept a safe dis-
tance from your workplace. Anyone entering
the workplace must wear personal protective
gear.
Pieces of the work piece or broken tools
may fly away and cause injuries even outside the
direct working area.
• Hold the device by the insulated surfaces
only when carrying out work during which it
is possible that the tool may come across hid-
den power cables or its own cable.
Contact
with a cable that carries power will subject the
metal parts of the device to current and will lead
to electrical shock.
• Keep the power cable away from rotating
tools. If you loose control over the power tool,
the power cable may be cut or caught and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the rotating tool.
• Never set the power tool down before the tool
has come to a completed standstill. The
rotating tool may come into contact with the sur-
face and cause you to loose control over the
power tool.
• Never operate the power tool when you are
carrying it. Your clothing may be caught as a
result of accidental contact with the rotating tool
causing the tool to injure you.
• Clean the ventilation slots of your power tool
regularly. The motor fans draw dust into the
housing and a large deposit of metal dust can
cause electrical hazards.
• Never use power tool near flammable materi-
als. Sparks may set fire to these materials.
• Do not use tools that require a liquid cooling
agent. The use of water or other liquid cooling
agents may lead to electrical shock.
Kickback and the appropriate safety notes
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused as a result of a
jammed or blocked rotating tool, for example, a sand-
ing disc, sanding plate, wire brush etc. Jamming or
blocking causes the rotating tool to come to an abrupt
stop. This causes an uncontrolled power tool to
accelerate against the direction of rotation of the tool
at the blocked point.
For example, if a grinding disc becomes stuck or
blocked in a work piece, the edge of the grinding disc
that dips into the work piece may get caught and the
grinding disc will break away or cause kickback. The
grinding disc will then move towards the operator or
away from them in accordance with the direction of
rotation of the disc at the blocked point. This may also
cause grinding discs to break.
A kickback is a consequence of incorrect or faulty use
of the power tool. It can be prevented by the use of
suitable measures, as described below:
• Hold the power tool securely with both hands
and position your body and arms in such a
way that you are able to absorb any kickback.
Always use the additional handle, if there is
one available, in order to ensure you have the
greatest possible control over kickback
forces or reaction torque when the tool is at
top speed.
The operator is able to master kick-
back or reaction forces if they take the appropri-
ate care.
