Safety guidelines for all operations
a)
This power tool can be used as grinder, sander
and abrasive cutting-off tool. Please observe all
safety guidelines, instructions, illustrations and
data provided with the device.
Failure to follow in-
structions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injuries.
b)
This power tool is not suitable for working with
wire brushes and polishing
Uses for which the
power tool is not intended can cause hazards and
injuries.
c)
Do not use accessories which are not designed or
recommended by the manufacturer specifically
for this power tool.
Just because the accessory can
be attached to your power tool does not assure safe
use.
d)
The rated speed of the bits and cutters must be at
least equal to the maximum speed specified on
the power tool.
Accessories that turn faster than
their rated speed can break and fly apart.
e)
The outside diameter and thickness of the bits and
cutters must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool.
Incorrectly sized bits and cutters can-
not be adequately guarded or controlled.
f)
The arbour size of discs, flanges, grinding discs
or other accessories must properly fit the grind-
ing spindle of your power tool.
Bits and cutters that
do not fit the grinding spindle of the power tool
properly will turn unevenly, vibrate very strongly
and cause loss of control.
g)
Do not use damaged bits and cutters. Before each
use, inspect bits and cutters such as sanding
discs for chips and cracks, grinding discs for
cracks, strong wear or tear, wire brushes for loose
or broken wires. If the power tool or bits and cut-
ters are dropped, check for damage or install un-
damaged bits and cutters. After you have in-
spected and installed the bits and cutters, keep
yourself and any other persons in the vicinity
away from the plane of the rotating bits and cut-
ters and run the device at maximum rotational
speed for one minute.
Damaged bits and cutters
usually break during this test time.
h)
Wear protective equipment. Depending on the ap-
plication, use full face protection, eye protection
or protective goggles. If appropriate, wear a dust
mask, hearing protection, protective gloves or a
special apron capable of stopping small abrasive
and material particles.
The eyes are to be protect-
ed from flying debris generated during various op-
erations. Dust masks or respirators must filter the
