• Bent grinding discs must be mounted in such a way that
their grinding surface does not protrude beyond the edge of
the protective cover. An improperly fitted grinding disc that
protrudes beyond the edge of the protective cover cannot be
sufficiently protected.
• The guard must be firmly attached to the machine to
guarantee the greatest possible degree of safety - positioned
so that the part of the grinding wheel exposed and facing the
operator is as small as possible. The guard protects the
operator from debris, accidental contact with the grinding wheel,
as well as sparks that could ignite clothing.
• Grinding wheels may only be used for the work intended for
them.
• For example, never grind with the side surface of a cut-off
wheel. Cut-off wheels are designed to remove material with the
edge of the disc. The effect of lateral forces on these grinding
wheels can break them.
• Always use undamaged clamping flanges of the correct size
and shape for the selected grinding wheel. The correct flanges
support the grinding wheel and thus reduce the danger of the
wheel breaking. Flanges for cut-off wheels may differ from those
for other grinding wheels.
• Do not use worn grinding wheels from larger machines.
Grinding wheels for larger machines are not designed for the
higher RPM that is a characteristic of smaller machines and may
therefore break.
ADDITIONAL SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR GRINDING
WHEEL CUTTING
• Avoid jamming of the cutting disc or too much pressure. Do
not make excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc
increases the load on the blade and its tendency to jam or block
and thus the possibility of discarding or breaking.
• Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotating cutting
disc. Moving the cutting disc in the workpiece away from you may
cause the machine to recoil with the rotating disc directly towards
you in the event of a kickback.
• If the cutting disc becomes jammed or if there is a break in
operation, switch off the machine and wait until the disc has
come to a complete stop. Never attempt to pull the still-
moving disc out of the cutting area, as this may cause recoil.
The cause of the jam must be detected and removed.
• Do not restart the machine while it is in the material. The
cutting wheel should reach its full speed before continuing
to
Otherwise, the grinding wheel may catch, jump off the workpiece
or cause recoil.
• Plates or large objects should be supported before
machining to reduce the risk of kickback caused by a
jammed disc. Large workpieces may bend under their own
weight. The workpiece should be supported on both sides, both
near the cutting line and at the edge.
• Take special care when cutting holes in walls or operating in
other invisible areas. The cutting disc plunging into the material
may cause the tool to recoil if it encounters gas pipes, water
pipes, electrical cables or other objects.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SANDPAPER
• Do not use oversized sheets of sandpaper. When choosing the
size of the sandpaper,
recommendations. Sanding paper protruding beyond the sanding
plate can cause injury and can also lead to the paper becoming
blocked or torn, or to recoil.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR WORKING WITH WIRE
BRUSHES
• It should be taken into account that even with normal use, there
is a loss of pieces of wire through the brush. Do not overload the
wires by applying
Airborne pieces of wire can easily pierce through thin clothing
and/or skin.
cut.
FOR SANDING WITH
follow the manufacturer's
too much pressure.
• If a guard is recommended, prevent the brush from coming into
contact with the guard. The diameter of plate and pot brushes can
increase through pressure and centrifugal forces.
• Always wear safety goggles when working with wire brushes.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION
• Remove the battery from the unit before all installation work.
• Grinding tools must be checked before use. The sanding tool
must be fitted correctly and must rotate freely. As part of the test,
run the machine without load for at least one minute in a safe
position. Do not use damaged or vibrating grinding tools. Grinding
tools must be round in shape. Damaged sanding tools may break
and cause injury.
• After fitting the sanding tool and before starting the sander, check
that the sanding tool is properly fitted, that it rotates freely and
that it does not catch on the guard.
• The spindle lock button can only be operated when the grinding
spindle is stationary.
• On tools designed to accommodate tapped grinding wheels,
check that the length of the grinding wheel thread is appropriate
to the length of the spindle thread.
• The workpiece must be secured. Clamping the workpiece in a
clamping device or vise is safer than holding it in your hand.
• If the object's own weight does not guarantee a stable position, it
must be fixed.
• Do not touch the cutting and grinding discs before they have
cooled down.
• Do not exert lateral pressure on the grinding or cutting disc.
Do not cut workpieces thicker than the maximum cutting depth of
the cutting disc.
• When using a quick-action flange, ensure that the inner flange
fitted to the spindle is fitted with a rubber O-ring and that this ring
is not damaged. Also ensure that the surfaces of the outer flange
and inner flange are clean.
• Use the quick-action flange only with abrasive and cutting discs.
Use only undamaged and properly functioning flanges.
PROPER BATTERY HANDLING AND OPERATION
• The battery charging process should be under the control of the
user.
• Avoid charging the battery at temperatures below 0
• Only charge the batteries with the charger recommended by
the manufacturer. The use of a charger designed to charge a
different type of battery poses a risk of fire.
• When the battery is not in use, keep it away from metal
objects such as paper clips, coins, nails keys, screws, or
other small metal items that can short-circuit the battery
terminals. Short-circuiting the battery terminals can cause burns
or fire.
• In the event of damage and/or misuse of the battery, gases
may be released. Ventilate the room, consult a doctor in case
of discomfort. The gases may damage the respiratory tract.
• Fluid leakage from the battery may occur in extreme
conditions. Liquid leaking from the battery can cause
irritation or burns. If a leak is detected, proceed as follows:
• Carefully wipe off the liquid with a piece of cloth. Avoid contact of
the liquid with the skin or eyes.
• if the liquid comes into contact with the skin, the relevant area on
the body should be washed immediately with copious amounts of
clean water, or neutralise the liquid with a mild acid such as lemon
juice or vinegar.
• if the liquid gets into the eyes, rinse them immediately with plenty
of clean water for at least 10 minutes and seek medical advice.
• Do not use a battery that is damaged or modified. Damaged
or modified batteries may act unpredictably, leading to fire,
explosion or danger of injury.
• The battery must not be exposed to moisture or water.
• Always keep the battery away from a heat source. Do not leave
it in a high temperature environment for long periods of time (in
direct sunlight, near radiators or anywhere where the temperature
exceeds 50°C).
