Ensure that the abrasive product is correctly mounted
and tightened before use and run the tool at no-load
for 30 s in a safe position, stop immediately if there
is considerable vibration or if other defects are
detected. If this condition occurs, check the machine
to determine the cause;
– If a guard is equipped with the tool never use the tool
without such a guard;
– Do not use separate reducing bushings or adapters
to adapt large hole abrasive wheels;
– For tools intended to be
fi
tted with threaded hole
wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long
enough to accept the spindle length;
– Secure the workpiece and check that the workpiece
is properly supported. A workpiece clamped with
clamping devices or in a vice is held more securely
than by hand;
– Do not use cutting o
ff
wheel for side grinding;
– Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not create
a hazard e.g. do not hit persons, or ignite
fl
ammable
substances;
– Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear when
working in dusty conditions, if it should become
necessary to clear dust,
fi
rst disconnect the tool from
the mains supply (use non metallic objects) and avoid
damaging internal parts;
– Always use eye and ear protection. Other personal
protective equipment such as dust mask, gloves,
helmet and apron should be worn;
–
Pay attention to the wheel that continues to rotate after
the tool is switched o
ff
.
– Do not allow foreign matter to enter the hole for
connecting the rechargeable battery.
– Never disassemble the rechargeable battery and
charger.
– Never short-circuit the rechargeable battery.
Shortcircuiting the battery will cause a great electric
current and overheat. It results in burn or damage to
the battery.
– Do not dispose of the battery in
fi
re. If the battery is
burnt, it may explode.
–
Do not insert object into the air ventilation slots of the
charger. Inserting metal objects or in
fl
ammables into
the charger air ventilation slots will result in electrical
shock hazard or damaged charger.
– Bring the battery to the shop from which it was
purchased as soon as the post-charging battery life
becomes too short for practical use. Do not dispose
of the exhausted battery.
