m General safety instructions
for working with electrical devices
Safety notice: When working with power tools, you
must always comply with basic safety measures in
order to keep the risk of fire, electric shock and per-
sonal injuries to a minimum.
• Provide good lighting in the working area.
• Guard against electric shock. Avoid bodily contact
with earthed parts (e.g. pipes, radiators, cookers and
refrigerators).
• Keep other persons away. Do not allow other persons
(particularly children) to touch the electric tool or the
extension cable. Keep other persons away from your
work area.
• Keep unused electric tools in a safe place. Unused
electric tools should be kept in a dry, high or locked
place.
• Do not overload your electric tool. It will work better
and safer when used within its quoted capacity range.
• Use the right electric tool. Do not use any low powered
machines for heavy-duty work. Never
• use the electric tool for purposes other than that for
which it is designed. For example, do not use a hand-
held circular saw to lop off branches or cut down trees.
• Rubber gloves and non-slip shoes are recommended
when working outdoors.
• Also use a dust mask when working on dusty jobs.
• Follow the instructions for changing mounted tools.
• Check your extension cables regularly and replace
them if damaged.
• Keep handles dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
• Always remove keys and wrenches after use. Before
switching on the electric tool, make sure that all keys
and wrenches have been removed from the tool.
• When using an extension cable outdoors. When
working outdoors, use only extension cables that are
approved for outdoor use.
• Be alert at all times. Concentrate on what you are do-
ing. Use common sense when working. Never use the
electric tool when you are distracted.
• Always check the machine, the power cable and the
plug before use. Only ever use the machine if it is in
perfect, undamaged condition. Damaged parts are
to be repaired or replaced immediately by a qualified
electrician.
• Always pull the plug out of the power socket before
carrying out any work on the machine, before changing
the grinding tool and in periods of non-use.
• Always run the power cable away from the back of the
machine to guard it from damage.
• Keep the machine in a safe place and out of the reach
of children.
• It is prohibited to use the machine on asbestos materi-
als.
• Please note the accident prevention regulations in
force in your country.
• Use only original spare parts.
• Repairs are to be carried out by qualified electricians
only.
• The level of noise at the workplace may exceed 85
dB(A). In this case you will need to introduce noise
protection measures for the user. The noise produced
by this electric tool is measured in accordance with
IEC 59 CO 11, IEC 704, DIN 45635 Part 21, NFS 31-
031 (84/537/EEC).
• Make sure of your footing. Avoid abnormal working
positions.
• Keep electric tools out of the rain. Never use electric
tools in wet or damp conditions, and never use them
near inflammable liquids.
• Keep the power cable safe from damage. Oil, solvent
and sharp edges can damage cables.
• Keep your workplace tidy.
• Make sure the power switch is off before inserting the
plug in the socket.
• Wear suitable clothing. Never wear loose-fitting clothes
or jewelry. Use a hair-net on long hair.
• For your own safety, use only the manufacturerʼs ac-
cessories and attachments.
• Always wear safety goggles, safety gloves and ear-
protectors on grinding, brushing and cutting jobs.
• Check that the speed marked on the grinding wheel is
the same as or higher than the grinderʼs rated speed.
• Make sure that the dimensions of the grinding wheel
are suitable for the grinder.
• It is essential to store and handle grinding wheels in
accordance with the manufacturerʼs instructions.
• Each time before using a grinding wheel, check it
carefully. Never use a grinding wheel which is broken,
cracked or damaged in any other way.
• Make sure that the grinding tools are mounted in ac-
cordance to the Manufactors instructions.
• If backing layers are supplied with or stipulated for the
grinding wheels, make sure they are used.
• Before beginning with your work, make sure that the
grinding wheel is correctly mounted and secured. Allow
the tool to run in a safe position for 5 minutes in idle
mode. Stop the tool immediately if notable vibrations
develop or if you discover any defects. In this case,
examine the machine to find the cause of the trouble.
• Never use the grinder without the supplied hood guard.
• Never use a separate reducer sleeve or adapter to
mount grinding wheels with too large a hole.
• Make sure that no danger results from any sparks
produced during use, e.g. injury to persons or ignition
of flammable substances.
• Always wear safety goggles and ear-protectors. Use
other personal safety items such as gloves, an apron
and a helmet wherever necessary.
• Please note that the workpiece becomes hot during
use.
Caution! Risk of burns!
Allow the workpiece to cool. Some materials become
glowing hot when subjected to grinding. On lengthy
jobs, interrupt your work and allow the workpiece to
cool.
• Use no coolant or the like. The wet-and-dry grinder
is a multi-function tool for the rough and precision
grinding of metals, plastics and other materials using
a selection of grinding wheels. The machine must only
be used for its intended purpose! Even if the machine
is used as intended, certain residual risk factors cannot
be completely eliminated.
