Safety instructions for all
applications
Special safety instructions for grinding and
abrasive cutting
a)
This power tool is to be used as a grinder and
abrasive cutting appliance. Please follow all
safety instructions, instructions, diagrams and
data that you receive with the appliance.
Failure to follow the instructions below may
result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
b)
This power tool is not suitable for sandpaper
sanding, working with a steel brush or bur-
nishing.
Using the power tool for applications
for which it is not designed can lead to hazards
and injuries.
c)
Do not use any accessories that have not
been specifically provided or recommended
by the manufacturer for this power tool.
Just
because you can attach the accessories to your
power tool, this does not guarantee that they
are safe to use.
d)
The maximum speed of the accessory tool
used must be at least as high as the maximum
speed specified for the power tool.
Accesso-
ries which rotate faster than the maximum per-
missible rate can break and throw pieces into
the air.
e)
The external diameter and thickness of the
accessory tool used must correspond with
the dimensions of the power tool.
Incorrectly dimensioned accessory tools cannot
be sufficiently shielded or controlled.
f)
Accessory tools with a thread insert must
match the thread of the grinding spindle ex-
actly. For accessory tools that are mounted
using a flange, the diameter of the hole on
the attachment tool must correspond to the
width of the fitting on the flange.
Accessory
tools that cannot be firmly fitted to the power
tool rotate unevenly, vibrate severely and can
lead to a loss of control.
g)
Never use damaged accessory tools. Before
each use, check accessory tools such as
grinding discs for chips or cracks, grinding
plates for cracks, scuffs or excessive wear and
tear and wire brushes for loose or broken
wires. If the power tool or the accessory tool
in use is dropped, check to see whether it is
damaged or use an undamaged accessory
tool. When you have checked and inserted
the accessory tool, ensure that you and any
other people in the vicinity remain outside of
the level of the rotating accessory tool and
allow the tool to rotate at maximum speed for
one minute.
Damaged accessory tools usually
break during the test period.
h)
Wear personal protective equipment.
Depending on the application, ensure that
you use full face protection, eye protection
or goggles. As required, use a dust mask,
hearing protection, protective gloves or a
special apron that will protect you from
grinding and material particles.
Protect your
eyes from flying debris that may be produced
during certain applications. Dust or filter masks
must be used to filter any dust produced by the
application. If you are exposed to loud noise
for any length of time, you can suffer hearing
loss.
i)
Ensure that other people remain at a safe
distance from your work area. Anyone who
enters the work area must wear personal
protective equipment.
Fragments of the workpiece or broken acces-
sory tools can fly off and cause injury – even
outside the immediate work area.
