ENGLISH
l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has
come to a complete stop. The spinning accessory may
grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your
side. Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could
snag your clothing, pulling the accessory into your body.
n) Regularly clean the power tool’s air vents. The motor’s
fan will draw the dust inside the housing and excessive
accumulation of powdered metal may cause electrical
hazards.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in
electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory.
Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotating
accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool
to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory’s
rotation at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by
the workpiece, the edge of the wheel that is entering into the
pinch point can dig into the surface of the material causing
the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel may either
jump toward or away from the operator, depending on
direction of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect
operating procedures or conditions and can be avoided by
taking proper precautions as given below.
a) Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback
forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for
maximum control over kickback or torque reaction
during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions
or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
c) Do not position your body in the area where power
tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the
tool in direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the
point of snagging.
d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges
etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory.
Corners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag
the rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not attach a saw chain, woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
AS 12 E:
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers 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.
AP 12 E:
Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations:
a) Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing
bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck
away or trim any loose attachment strings. Loose and
spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or
snag on the workpiece.
Appliances used at many different locations including open
air should be connected via a residual current device of
30 mA or less.
Dust and splinters must not be removed while the machine
is running.
Only plug-in when machine is switched off.
Never reach into the danger area of the tool when it is
running.
Always use the auxiliary handle.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable
vibrations or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine
in order to find out the cause.
Always use and store the grinding disks according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
When grinding metal, flying sparks are produced. Take care
that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of
fire, no combustible materials should be located in the
vicinity (spark flight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Due care should be taken that no sparks or sanding dust
flying from the workpiece come into contact with you.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work
with the machine.
The workpiece must be fixed if it is not heavy enough to be
steady. Never lead the workpiece to the grinding disk with
your hand.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with
the arbour and vulcanized fibre grinding wheel), significant
contamination can build up on the inside of the angle
grinder. For safety reasons, in such conditions the inside
should be cleaned thoroughly of metal deposits and a motor
circuit-breaker must be connected in series. If the motor
circuit-breaker trips the machine must be sent for repair.
For accessories intended to be fitted with threaded hole
wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to
accept the spindle length.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
AP 12 E: The polisher can be used for polishing lacquers,
coatings, plastics and other smooth surfaces.
AS 12 E: The sander can be used for sanding wood,

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety warnings that are common for polishing and
sanding:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a sander
(only AP 12 E) or polisher (only AS 12 E). Read all
safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to
follow all instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding (only AP 12 E), polishing
(only AS 12 E), grinding, wire brushing, or cutting-off
are not recommended to be performed with this power
tool. Using the electric tool for purposes other than those for
which it is designed may cause dangers and injuries.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool.
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break
and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or
any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the
power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not
match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out
of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as backing pad for cracks,
tear or excess wear. If power tool or accessory is
dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory,
position yourself and bystanders away from the plane
of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris
generated by various operations. The dust mask or
respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work
area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken
accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a „live“ wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool „live“ and shock the
operator.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given
in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase
the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or
when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
