 If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure

that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.

Power tool use and care

 Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what

you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context
for which it was designed.

 Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

 Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

 Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people

who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are
potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

 Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other

feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool
must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools.

 Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting

edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.

 Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these

instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool
in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

Service

 Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare

parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

maximum speed of the machine. The speed of the machine must not exceed the value on
the grinding disc.

 Make sure that the dimensions of the grinding disc correspond to the specifications of the

machine.

 Make sure that the grinding disc has been mounted and fastened properly. Do not use

reducing rings or adapters to make the grinding disc fit properly.

Treat and store grinding discs in conformance with the supplier’s instructions.

 Do not use the machine for grinding workpieces with a maximum thickness exceeding the

maximum grinding depth of the grinding disc.

 Do not use grinding discs for deburring.
 When grinding discs have to be mounted on the thread of the spindle, make sure that the

spindle has sufficient thread. Make sure that the spindle is sufficiently protected and does
not touch the grinding surface.

 Before use, inspect the grinding disc for any damage. Do not use grinding discs which are

cracked, ripped or otherwise damaged.

 Before use, let the machine run idle for 30 seconds.
 Immediately switch off the machine in case of abnormal vibrations or occurrence of

another defect. Carefully inspect the machine and grinding disc before switching the
machine on again.
