12. Never lay the power tool down until the acces-
sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning
accessory may grab the surface and pull the power
tool out of your control.
13. 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.
14. 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.
15. Do not operate the power tool near flammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
Kickback and Related Warnings:
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged
rotating wheel, backing pad, brush or any other acces-
sory. 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 mate-
rial 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. Abrasive wheels may also break under
these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incor-
rect 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 posi-
tion your body and arm to allow you to resist kick-
back 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 acces-
sory. 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.
Safety Warnings Specific for Stone Polishing Opera-
tions:
a) Do not use excessively oversized abrasive disc.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when
selecting abrasive disc. Larger abrasive disc
extending beyond the pad presents a laceration haz-
ard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or
kickback.
Additional Safety Warnings:
16. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
17. Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
unplugged or that the battery cartridge is
removed before carrying out any work on the
tool.
18. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.
19. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate
after the tool is switched off.
20. Do not use the tool on any materials containing
asbestos.
21. Ensure that ventilation openings 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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING:
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to safety rules for the subject product. MISUSE or
failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruc-
tion manual may cause serious personal injury.
Important Notes about Mains Connection for
110 Volts, 50 – 60 Hz
Caution:
Read and observe these precautions before using
the tool. Non-observance of these precautions may
lead to personal injuries and damage to the tool!
The tool was built according to the European Stan-
dards EN60745-1 (safety of hand-held, motor-driven
power tools; here in particular section of power tools
with water connection) and EN60309-2 (plugs, recep-
tacles and couplings for industrial applications).
When applying these standards, the earth contact
position of the plug-in device may only be carried out
in "12 o'clock position".
The tool has a plug-in device with a "12 o'clock"
earth contact position.
However, since the European Standard EN60309-2
does not provide a differentiation regarding the sup-
ply voltage and this earth contact position, there is
the possibility to confuse the connection to an isolat-
ing transformer with another output voltage (e.g.
230 V). When connecting the tool to an isolating
transformer, make absolutely sure to use the correct
output voltage (110 V, 50
This tool is designed exclusively for connection to
an isolating transformer with an output voltage of
110 V. Due to its use in wet conditions (water connec-
tion on the tool), this tool must never be connected
to a power supply without an isolating transformer.
Damages caused by inappropriate tampering with
the plug-in device are not subject to warranty or legal
guarantee claims.
Contact your specialist supplier for an isolating
transformer suitable for your tool.
