WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be
used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not
actually doing the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands
warm, organisation of work patterns
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the
maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running
faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must
be within the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized
accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grinder
spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour
hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the flange.
Accessories that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool
will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of
control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the
accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing
pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or
cracked wires. If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for
damage or install an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and bystanders away
from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power tool at
maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application,
use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron
capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The
eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by
various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone
entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and
cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact
hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator
an electric shock.
k) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose
control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be
pulled into the spinning accessory.
l) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a
complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
m) 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.
n) 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.
o) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks
could ignite these materials.
p) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water
or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and Related Warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel,
backing pad, brush or any other accessory. 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 material 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 incorrect 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 position your body
and arm to allow you to resist kickback 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 accessory. 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 Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool
and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for
which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded
and are unsafe.
b) The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must be
mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted
wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be
adequately protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and
positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is
exposed towards the operator. The guard helps to protect operator
from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel and
sparks that could ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off
wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these
wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size
and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the
wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for
cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.
f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheel
intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings Specific for Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations:
a) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do
not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut. Overstressing the
wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of
the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating
wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from
your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the
power tool directly at you.
c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any
reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool
motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never
attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is
in motion otherwise kickback may occur. Investigate and take
corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.
d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the
wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel
may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the
workpiece.
e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk
of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under
their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near
the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the
wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into existing walls
or other blind areas. The protruding wheel may cut gas or water pipes,
electrical wiring or objects that can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow
manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper.
Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a
laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or
kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing Operations:
a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during
ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying
excessive load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily penetrate
light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not
allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard.
Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and
centrifugal forces.
