GENERaL SaFETy INSTRucTIONS FOR
ELEcTRIc TOOLS
This device is exclusively for private use! It is
not fit for commercial use!
waRNING! Read all instructions. Failure
to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injuries: SavE THESE INSTRucTIONS!
1. wORK aREa
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate machines in explosive atmos
-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Machines create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a machine. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2. ELEcTRIcaL SaFETy
• Machine plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
machines. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded
surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
• Do not expose machines to rain or wet condi
-
tions. Water entering a machine will increase
the risk of electric shock.
• Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for
carrying, pulling or unplugging the machine.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a machine outdoors, use an
extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the
risk of electric shock.
3. PERSONaL SaFETy
• Stay alert, Watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating a machine. Do
not use a machine while you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating machines
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye pro
-
tection. Safety equipment such as dust mark,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
• Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is
in the off position before plugging in. Carrying
machines with your finger on the switch or
plugging in machines that have the switch on
invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the machine on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the machine may
result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better con
-
trol of the machine in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewel
-
lery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
4. MacHINE uSE aND caRE
• Do not force the machine. Use the correct
machine for your application. The correct
machine will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• Do not use the machine if the switch does not
turn it on and off. Any machine that can not be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing machines. Such pre
-
ventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the machine accidentally.
• Store idle machines out of the reach children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
machine or these instructions to operate the
machine. Machines are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
• Maintain machines. Check for misalignment
or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
machines operation. If damaged, have the
machine repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained machines.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the machine, accessories and tool bits
etc., in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for the particular type
of machine, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the machine for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5. SERvIcE
Have your machine serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the
machine is maintained.
SPEcIaL SaFETy INSTRucTIONS
• Do not use the machine without the protective
cover! Ensure that this is fitted correctly!
• Ensure that the wheel dimensions are compat
-
ible with the grinder.
• Check whether the mounting flanges and the
disk have been inserted correctly and are not
damaged!
• Ensure that the speed of the machine is
suitable for the accessories. Allow a newly
mounted abrasive wheel to run without a load
for at least thirty seconds! Please keep the
safety instructions in a safe place!
• Please ensure that the voltage of the mains
power supply corresponds to that stated on the
type plate. The tool is equipped with a two-pole
lead and plug!
• Check that the work piece is properly sup
-
ported.
• Do not use cutting off wheel for side grinding.
• Ensure that sparks resulting from use do not
create a hazard e.g. do not hit persons, or
ignite flammable substances.
• Always use protective safety glasses and
hearing protectors, use other personal pro
-
tective equipment such as gloves, apron and
helmet when necessary.
• Ensure that ventilation opening are kept clear
when working in dusty conditions. If it should
become necessary to clear dust, first disconnect
the tool from the mains supply(use non metallic
objects) and avoid damaging internal parts.
• Only use a suitable extension cable when this
is absolutely necessary! The use of an unsuit
-
able extension cable carries with it the danger
of fire or an electric shock! If an extension
cable has to be used, ensure that it is correctly
wired and in good condition!
• Your machine is double insulated. This means
that two completely independent types of insu
-
lation prevent you from coming into contact
with live metal parts. This measure represents
a high degree of protection against an electric
shock.
Hearing protection
In case of a sound pressure greater than
85.0 dB(a) wear hearing protection to avoid
damage to your hearing!
BEFORE INITIaL uSE
Mounting the side handle
During operation, keep one hand on the housing
handle (5) and the other on the side handle (3). In
