ENGLISH (Original instructions)

e. Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional specific safety rules
Safety instructions for all operations
Safety warnings common for grinding.
• This power tool is intended to function as a grinder.
Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
• Operations such as polishing are not recommended to
be performed with this power tool. Operations for which
the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and
cause personal injury.
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed
can break and fly apart.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
• Threaded mounting of accessories must match the
grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by
flanges, the arbour hole of the accessory must fit the
locating diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
• Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheel for
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If
power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or
install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders
away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the
power tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute.
Damaged accessories will normally break apart during
this test time.
• Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and work shop apron capable of
stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
• Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a
broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the
operator.
• Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
• Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may
grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your
control.
