Do not attempt to do curved cutting. Overstressing the
wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twist-
ing or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility
of kickback or wheel breakage, which can lead to seri-
ous injury.
Safety warnings specific for sanding operations
Use proper sized sanding disc paper. Follow manufac-
turers recommendations, when selecting sanding
paper.
Larger sanding paper extending too far beyond
the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.
Safety warnings specific for wire brushing oper-
ations
Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush
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
specified
for wire 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.
Further safety warnings
When grinding thin metal sheet or other well vibrating
structures with large surface area, take appropriate
measures such as using heavy flexible damping mats.
Otherwise, a much higher overall noise emission may
occur than the specified noise emission of the power
tool. Also consider the increased noise emission for
risk assessment of noise exposure and for selection of
appropriate hearing protection.
Use elastic spacers when these are provided with the
grinding accessory.
Make sure that the application tools are mounted in
accordance with the manufacturers instructions. The
mounted application tools must be able to rotate freely.
Incorrectly mounted application tools can become
loose during operation and be thrown from the
machine.
Handle grinding accessories carefully and store them
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Damaged
grinding accessories can develop cracks and burst dur-
ing operation.
Use only segmented diamond wheels with negative cut-
ting angle.
When using application tools with a threaded insert,
take care that the thread in the application tool is long
enough to hold the spindle length of the power tool. The
thread in the application tool must match the thread on
the spindle.
Incorrectly mounted application tools can
loosen during operation and cause injuries.
Observe the risks associated with using incorrect
guards.
– When using a Type A (cut-off) wheel guard for facial
grinding, the wheel guard may interfere with the
workpiece causing poor control.
– When using a Type B wheel guard for cutting-off
operations with bonded abrasive wheels, there is an
increased risk of exposure to emitted sparks and
particles, as well as exposure to wheel fragments in
the event of wheel burst.
– When using a Type A or Type B )wheel guard for
cutting-off and facial operations in concrete or
masonry, there is an increased risk of exposure to
dust and loss of control resulting in kickback.
– When using a Type A or Type B wheel guard with
a wheel-type wire brush with a thickness greater
than the maximum thickness as specified, the wires
may catch on the guard leading to breaking of wires.
When using combined grinding and cutting-off abrasive
flange mounted wheels, the Type A wheel guard must
be used.
Do not direct the power tool against yourself, other per-
sons or animals.
Danger of injury from sharp or hot
application tools.
Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or water
conduits.
Check the working area before commencing
work, e. g. with a metal detector.
Use a stationary extraction system and frequently blow
out the ventilation slots.
When working metal under
extreme operating conditions, it is possible for conduc-
tive dust to settle in the interior of the power tool. The
total insulation of the power tool can be impaired.
Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the
power tool.
If the insulation is damaged, protection
against an electric shock will be ineffective.
Always work with the auxiliary handle. The auxiliary
handle ensures reliable guiding of the power tool.
After working gypsum-containing materials: Blow out
the ventilation openings of the power tool and the
switch element with dry and oil-free compressed air.
Otherwise, gypsum-containing dust can settle in the
power tool housing and switch element, which can
harden in connection with humidity. This can impair the
switching mechanism.
Use and handling of the battery (battery pack).
These safety warnings apply only for 18V FEIN AMP-
Share Li-ion batteries.
Use the battery only in AMPShare partner products.
18V batteries marked with AMPShare are fully compat-
ible with the following products:
– All products of the FEIN-18V-AMPShare system
– All 18V products from AMPShare partners.
When working with and charging incorrect, damaged,
repaired or reconditioned batteries, imitations or other
brands, there is danger of fire and/or explosion.
Observe the battery recommendations in the operating
instructions for your product.
Only in this way can the
battery and the product be operated safely, and the bat-
teries are protected from dangerous overload.
Only charge the batteries with chargers recommended
by FEIN or one of the AMPShare partners.
A charger that
is suitable one type of battery pack may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery pack.
