GENERAL SAFETY AND USE INSTRUCTIONS
When using power tools, you should take into
account basic safety precautions to avoid the risk
of fire, electric shock and personal injury.
Always read the safety, operating and
maintenance instructions before you start using
your power tool. Keep the instruction manual for
future reference.
General
It is your responsibility to follow these preventive
measures in order to ensure your own safety. Always
use the power tool carefully and responsibly. Always
take in consideration that in using the angle grinder you
accept full responsibility for any accidents caused to
third parties or their property during its use.
Individuals who have not read the instruction manual
and are not familiarized with how to operate the angle
grinder must not use it. Before using the power tool for
the first time, users should be instructed by the seller or
any other qualified person on how to use the power
tool. Users must ensure they are instructed adequately
and practically.
The instruction manual is considered an integral part of
the power tool and must always be made available
alongside the product.
Familiarize yourself with the control devices and usage
of the power tool. In particular, the user must know
how to quickly stop the power tool.
Stay alert and use common sense while working with a
power tool. A moment of inattention can result in
serious injury.
Do not use the power tool if you are not both physically
and mentally well. Do not use it while you are tired or
under the influence of medication, drugs or alcohol. If
you have a health problem, ask your doctor if it is safe
for you to use the angle grinder before doing so.
Never allow the angle grinder to be used by children,
individuals with limited physical, sensory or mental
abilities, individuals with lack of experience and
knowledge of the tool, or others unfamiliar with the use
instructions.
The power tool may only be used as stated in this
instruction manual. Any other use, which may be
dangerous and may cause injury to the user or damage
to the angle grinder, is not permitted.
Do not overload the power tool and use proper tools for
each type of work. The use of the power tool for
purposes other than those intended and improper use
of accessories may result in hazardous situations.
For safety reasons, any alteration to the angle grinder
other than installing accessories specifically authorized
by the manufacturer, is prohibited. The warranty on
your angle grinder will be voided if you alter it in any
way.
You may get information on authorized accessories
from your official VITO dealer.
Electrical safety instructions
The power tool has double insulation, which
means that all external metal parts are insulated
from the electrical components. Therefore, in
accordance with EN 60745 standard, no grounding is
required.
However, double insulation does not replace normal
safety precautions, which must be observed when using
the power tool. The angle grinder’s power cord must
be plugged into a socket with differential protection.
If the workplace is extremely hot, humid or with a high
concentration of dust, the socket circuit must be
protected with a circuit breaker (30 mA) to ensure the
safety of the user;
Do not use power tools in explosive environments,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dust. Power tools create sparks that can ignite
liquids, gases, or dust.
The supply voltage must match the technical
specifications of the power tool.
Do not expose the power tool to rain or use it in
wet or moist environments. The presence of
water in a power tool increases the risk of damage and
electric shock to the user.
