f )
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power
tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable
for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for
Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations
a )
Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply excessive
pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth
of cut.
Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b )
Do not position your body in line with and behind
the rotating wheel.
When the wheel, at the point of
operations, is moving away from your body, the possible
kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
c )
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut
for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold
the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-
off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion
otherwise kickback may occur.
Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d )
Do not restart the cutting operation in the
workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and
carefully re-enter the cut.
The wheel may bind, walk up
or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
e )
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to
minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback.
Large workpieces tend to sag under their own
weight.
Supports must be placed under the workpiece
near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on
both sides of the wheel.
f )
Use extra caution when making a “pocket cut” into
existing walls or other blind areas.
The protruding
wheel may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or
objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations
a )
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc
paper. Follow manufacturer’s recommendations,
when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper
extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration
hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc
or kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing
Operations
a )
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.
b )
If the use of a guard is recommended 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 and
centrifugal forces.
Additional Safety Information
• Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder
spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbor
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.
• The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must
be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly
mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard
lip cannot be adequately protected.
•
When using a different wheel size, the correct wheel
guard for that specific wheel size must also be used.
WARNING:
We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment of hearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
during operation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.

WARNING:
127 V units have to be operated via a fail-safe

Mains Plug Replacement
(Middle East and Africa)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the old plug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
WARNING:
No connection is to be made to the
earth terminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs.
Recommended fuse: 13 A.
