6General Safety Information
1. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions cause a loss
of control.
2. Check for signs of wear or damage, before using the tool and after any impact, and repair as
necessary.
3. The tool is designed for use by adults. Young people over 16 years may use the tool under
supervision only.
4. The manufacturer is not liable for damage which is caused through inappropriate use or
incorrect operation.
1. Work area safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
2. Electrical safety
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
• Keep power cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• The use of a RCD (residual current device) with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less is
advised for additional safety when using the unit.

Read all safety warnings. Failure to follow the warnings may result in serious
injury or even death.

8Sharpener Unit Safety
• Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool
before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• WARNING! ALL adjustment nuts/bolts/knobs etc.. must be tightened before starting to work
with the machine.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• WARNING! Always use the protective shields on the machine.
• Do not use a damaged grinding wheel. Before each use inspect the wheel for chips and
cracks or excess wear. The grinding wheel must be properly mounted and turn freely. Perform
a test run for at least 30 seconds without load. Do not use damaged, out of round or vibrating
grinding wheels.
• Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibrations or if other malfunctions
occur. Check the machine in order to find out the cause.
• The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating
of your power tool.
