Q
Safety advice for all uses
General safety advice for grinding,
sanding (with sandpaper), wire brushing,
polishing and disc-cutting:
a) This electrical power tool is intended
for use as a grinding, sanding, wire-
brushing, and disc-cutting machine.
Observe all the safety advice, instruc-
tions, information in figures and all
other information you received with
this device. If you do not observe the following
advice it could lead to electric shock, fire and /
or serious injury.
b) Normative statement / advice for this tool is not
applicable.
c) Do not use any accessory not specifi-
cally intended by the manufacturer
for this electrical power tool. Although
an accessory may fit on your electrical power
tool, this does not on its own guarantee that it
can be safely used.
d) The maximum permitted speed of an
attachment must be at least as high as
the maximum speed indicated for the
electrical power tool. An accessory rotating
faster than its permitted speed could disintegrate
or fly off.
e) The external diameter and the thickness
of the attachment must be compatible
with the dimensions of your electrical
power tool. Attachments that are not dimen-
sionally compatible cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.
f) Grinding discs, flanges, grinding
wheels or other accessories must fit
exactly on to the spindle of your elec-
trical power tool. Attachments that do not
exactly fit on the spindle turn unevenly, vibrate
severely and could lead to loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged attachments.
Before every use check attachments
such as grinding discs for loose frag-
ments and cracks, grinding wheels for
cracks, deterioration or excessive
wear and wire brushes for loose or
broken wires. If the electrical power
tool or attachment is dropped, inspect
for damage or change the attachment
for an undamaged one. When you
have inspected and inserted the at-
tachment, position yourself and by-
standers away from the plane of the
rotating attachment and run the device
at maximum speed for one minute.
Damaged attachments will usually break apart
during this test.
h) Wear personal protective equipment.
Use a full face visor, safety goggles or
safety glasses, depending on the ap-
plication. Wear a dust mask, hearing
protectors, safety gloves or special
apron capable of stopping particles of
the grinding medium or workpiece, as
appropriate for the task. Eyes must be
protected from the flying debris which can
arise from some operations. Dust or breathing
masks must be capable of filtering out the dust
generated by the application. Prolonged expo-
sure to loud noise can lead to hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders at a safe distance
from your work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of the
workpiece or of a broken attachment could fly
off and cause injury beyond the immediate
working area.
j) Hold the device by the insulated han-
dle surfaces when you are undertak-
ing work where there is the danger
of the attachment striking hidden
electricity cables or the device’s mains
lead. Contact with a live wire could cause
metal parts of the device to become live and
lead to electric shock.
k) Keep the mains lead away from rotat-
ing attachments. If you lose control of the
device the mains lead may become severed or
trapped and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the rotating attachment.
l) Never lay the electrical power tool
down until after the attachment has
come to a complete standstill. The rotat-
