do the job beer and safer when used at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn acvate or deacvate it. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is extremely dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the main plug from the power source and/or the baery pack from the power tool before changing accessories,
making any adjustments, or storing power tools. Such prevenve safety measures will reduce the risk of starng the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instrucons to use and operate the power tool.
Power tools are extremely dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, leakage and any other
condion that may aect the power tool’s operaon. If damaged, please have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents and injuries are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep all the cung tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cung tools with sharp cung edges are less likely to bind
and are more precise and easier to control.
g) Always use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with the instrucons of this instrucon manual,
taking into account the working condions and the work to be performed.
Use of the power tool for applicaons dierent from those intended could result in a hazardous situaon.
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair technician using only idencal replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Machine-Specic Safety Warnings
• Do not use grinding disks with a maximal rotaonal speed inferior to the grinder’s maximal rotaonal speed.
• Do not use damaged grinding disks (cracked, split) or not disks which are not appropriate for the material to be grinded.
• Do not use grinding disks which include a reducing bushing.
• Run o load for 30 seconds, when placing any new or reinstalled grinding disks. Keep bystanders in a safe distance while
tesng the power tool. Stop the tool immediately in case you detect excessive vibraons and resolve the problem.
• Tighten the clamping ange suciently to solidly hold the grinding wheel.
• Carry out rotaonal speed measurements at regular intervals and necessarily aer having reassembled the tool.
• Check that the guard is correctly set and not damaged before switching the tool on.
• Before starng any work, check the condion of the power supply cable and plug.
• Always unplug the tool before handling it (including replacement of grinding disks).
• Do not brutally apply the grinder on the material, and do not apply too much eort when grinding.
• If the rotaon speed reduces abnormally, stop the tool immediately and unplug it from the socket.
• Keep pinion gear and roller bearings correctly greased.
• Keep the grinder clean, especially the unit’s air-vents.
• Never use the tool without the protecve guard.
•Never press the axle locking buon while the grinder is in operaon. Before starng any work check that the drive axis
did not remain locked.
• Never use cung disks sideways (example: chamfering)
• Make sure that the grinding disk’s dimensions are compable with the grinder.
• Grinding disks should be stored or carried with care according to the manu facturer’s instrucons.
• Make sure the grinding disks are mounted according to the manufacturer’s instrucons.
•Warning: a grinding wheel connues to rotate aer the grinder is switched o.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reacon to a pinched or snagged rotang wheel, backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or
snagging causes rapid stalling of the rotang accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the
direcon opposite of the accessory’s rotaon 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 direcon of the wheel’s movement at the point of pinching
Abrasive disks may also break under these condions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operang procedures or condions and can be avoided by taking
proper precauons as given below.
Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and posion your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces.
