IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Stop immediately if there is considerable vibration
or if other defects are detected. If this condition
occurs, check the tool to determine the cause.
Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters
to adapt large hole grinding wheels.
Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create
a hazard e.g. do not hit people, or ignite flammable
substances.
Always use protective safety glasses and ear
protectors.
Use other personal protective equipment such as
gloves, apron and helmet when necessary.
Never place the tool on the floor or other surfaces
while it is running. Grinding wheels continue to
rotate after the tool is switched off. Never touch the
wheel or place it on the fl oor or other surfaces
while it is rotating.
The flange and clamp nut must have same outer
diameter.
Use the tool only for approved applications. Never
use coolants or water or use the tool as a fixed
tool.
Grip the tool securely with both hands while
operating.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
CAUTION! The following states how damage to the
machine and possible injury to people can be
avoided:
Handle the unit with care. Clean the ventilation
slots regularly, follow the maintenance instructions.
Do not overload your device. Work only within the
indicated range of performance. Do not use low
power machines for heavy duty work. Do not use
your device for purposes for which it has not been
designed.
Do not attempt to repair the machine yourself
unless you are qualified to do so. Any work not
specified in this manual may only be carried out by
a qualified service centre.
Only use extension cables that have been
approved for outdoor use and are resistant to
splash water. The core diameter for extension
cables measuring up to 25m must be at least 1.5
mm
2
, and 2.5 mm
2
for cables longer than 25m.
Always roll the whole cable off the reel before use.
Check the cable for damage.
The supply voltage must correspond to the voltage
specified on the modelplate.
Do not abuse the cable. Never move the unit by the
cable or pull the cable to disconnect it from the
mains socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil
and sharp edges. Ensure that the cable is arranged
so that it cannot be tripped over, stepped on or
have heavy weights rested on it. Make sure the
cable will not be subjected to any damage.
Do not use the machine if the cables are damaged
or worn.
Do not connect a damaged cable to the mains
supply or touch a damaged cable before it is
disconnected from the mains supply. A damaged
cable can lead to an electric shock.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow
all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "power
tool" in all of the warnings listed below refers to
your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery
operated (cordless) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
1) WORK AREA
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, 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) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets
will reduce risk of electric shock.
