shock, re and/or serious injury.
3

DIE GRINDER
- Store all safety notes and safety instructions for future reference.
The term power tool in all of the warnings listed below refers to
your mains operated (corded) power tool or battery operated
(cordless) power tool.
.SAFETY AT WORK
- Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
- Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such
as in the presence of ammable liquids, gasses or dust. Power
tools create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.
- Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
.ELECTRICAL SAFETY
- Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug
in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded)
power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
- Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased
risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
- Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
- Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling
or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts.
Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
4

USER MANUAL
- When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord
suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use
reduces the risk of electric shock.
- If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,
use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of
an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
.PERSONAL SAFETY
- Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense
when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you
are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result
in serious personal injury.
- Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat,
or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
- Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position
before plugging in. Carrying power tools with your nger on the
switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites
accidents.
- Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power
tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep
your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
5

DIE GRINDER
- If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related hazards.
.POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
- 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 before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
- Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not
allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions
to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
- Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained electrical tools.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
- Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular
type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and
6

USER MANUAL
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from intended could result in hazardous situation.
.SERVICE
- Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
.SHARED SAFETY NOTES REGARDING GRINDING,
SANDPAPER SANDING, WORKING WITH WIRE BRUSHES,
POLISHING AND ABRASIVE CUTTING.
- This power tool is to be used as a sandpaper grinder,
sandpaper sander, wire brush, polisher and abrasive cutting
tool. Observe all the safety notes, instructions, representations
and data received with the power tool. If you do not observe
the following instructions, electrical shock, lm and/or serious
injuries may be the result.
- Do not use accessories that have not been designed and
recommended by the manufacturer for this specic power tool.
Just because you are able to attach an accessory to your power
tool this does not guarantee that it is safe to use.
- The permitted revolutions of the tool must be at least as high as
the highest revolutions specied on the power tool. Accessories
that rotate faster than they are permitted to may break and y.
- The external diameter and thickness of the tool must match
the dimensional specication of your power tool.
Incorrectly dimensioned tools cannot be sufciently shielded or
controlled.
- Sanding discs, anges, sanding plates or other accessories
7

DIE GRINDER
must t precisely to the sanding spindle of your power tool.
Tools that do not t precisely to the sanding spindle of the power
tool will rotate unevenly, vibrate heavily and may cause loss of
control over the device.
- Do not use damaged tools. Before each use, check tools like
sanding discs for chips and tears, sanding plates for tears, wear
or heavy use, wire brushes for loose or broken bristles. If the
power tool or the tool itself is dropped, check to see whether it is
damaged or use an undamaged tool. When you have checked
and inserted the tool, ensure that you and any other people in
the vicinity are out of the sphere of inuence of the rotating tool
and operate the power tool for a minute at the highest revolutions.
Damaged tools will usually break within this test period.
- Wear personal safety gear. Depending on the work you are
doing, wear a full- face visor, visor or protective goggles.
If appropriate, wear a dust mask, ear defenders, protective
gloves or a special apron designed to keep sanding and material
particles away from you. Your eyes should be protected from the
ying objects that may be generated during various applications.
Dust or breathing masks must be capable of ltering the dust
generated during operation. If you are exposed to loud noise for
extended periods, you may suffer a loss of hearing.
- Ensure that other people are kept a safe distance from your
workplace. Anyone entering the workplace must wear personal
protective gear. Pieces of the work piece or broken tools may y
away and cause injuries even outside the direct working area.
- Hold the device by the insulated surfaces only when carrying out
work during which it is possible that the tool may come across
hidden power cables or its own cable. Contact with a cable that
carries power will subject the metal parts of the device to current
and will lead to electrical shock.
8

USER MANUAL
- Keep the power cable away from rotating tools. If you lose control
over the power tool, the power cable may be cut or caught and
your hand or arm may be pulled into the rotating tool.
- Never set the power tool down before the tool has come to a
completed standstill. The rotating tool may come into contact
with the surface and cause you to lose control over the power
tool.
- Never operate the power tool when you are carrying it. Your
clothing may be caught as a result of accidental contact with the
rotating tool causing the tool to injure you.
- Clean the ventilation slots of your power tool regularly. The
motor fans draw dust into the housing and a large deposit of
metal dust can cause electrical hazards.
- Never use power tool near ammable materials. Sparks may
set re to these materials.
- Do not use tools that require a liquid cooling agent. The use of
water or other liquid cooling agents may lead to electrical shock.
.KICKBACK AND THE APPROPRIATE SAFETY NOTES
Kickback is a sudden reaction caused as a result of a jammed
or blocked rotating tool, for example, a sanding disc, sanding
plate, wire brush etc. Jamming or blocking causes the rotating
tool to come to an abrupt stop. This causes an uncontrolled
power tool to accelerate against the direction of rotation of the
tool at the blocked point.
For example, if a grinding disc becomes stuck or blocked in a
work piece, the edge of the grinding disc that dips into the work
piece may get caught and the grinding disc will break away or
cause kickback. The grinding disc will then move towards the
operator or away from them in accordance with the direction of
9

DIE GRINDER
rotation of the disc at the blocked point. This may also cause
grinding discs to break.
A kickback is a consequence of incorrect or faulty use of the
power tool. It can be pre-vented by the use of suitable measures,
as described below:
- Hold the power tool securely with both hands and position
your body and arms in such a way that you are able to absorb
any kickback. Always use the additional handle, if there is one
avail-able, in order to ensure you have the greatest possible
control over kickback forces or reaction torque when the tool is
at top speed. The operator is able to master kickback or reaction
forces if they take the appropriate care
- Never put your hand close to the rotating tool. The tool may
move over your hand in the event of kickback
- Keep your body out of the area that the power tool would jump
to in the event of kickback. Kickback pushes the power tool in
the opposite direction to the movement of the sanding disc at
the blocked point.
- Be especially careful around corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid
tools bouncing off work pieces and becoming jammed. The
rotating tool will tend to jam at corners, sharp edges or when it
bumps against something. This will lead to a loss of control or
kickback.
- Do not use chained or toothed saw blades. Such tools will
often cause kick-back of the loss of control over the power tool.

USER MANUAL
.SPECIAL SAFETY NOTES REGARDING GRINDING AND
ABRASIVE CUTTING
- Only use grinding tools permitted for use with your power
tool and the protective hood designed for use with these tools.
Grinding tools that have not be designed for use with the power
tool cannot be sufciently shielded and are thus unsafe.
- Grinding tools may only be used for the purposes recommended.
For example: Never use the side surface of a cutting disc to
grind. Cutting discs are designed to be used to remove material
with the edge of the disc. Lateral forces on these tools may
break them
- Always used undamaged tensioning anges in the correct size
and shape for the cutting disc you have selected.
Suitable anges support the cutting disc and thus reduce the
risk of the disc breaking. Flanges for cutting discs may differ
from anges for other grinding discs
- Do not use worn grinding disc from larger power tools. Grinding
discs for larger power tools are not designed to cope with the
higher revolutions of smaller power tools and may break
.FURTHER ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTES REGARDING
ABRASIVE CUTTING.
- Avoid jamming the cutting disc or applying too high a pressure.
Do not carry out any excessively deep cuts. Overloading the
cutting disc increases the pressure and the tendency to tilt or
block and thus increases the risk of kick-back or of the disc
breaking.
- Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotating disc. If you
11

DIE GRINDER
operate the device in such a way that the cutting disc in the
work piece is moved away from you, in the event of kickback,
the power tool and the rotating disc may be thrown towards you.
- If the cutting disc is jammed or you need to interrupt your work,
switch the power tool off, and hold it motionless until the disc
has come to a standstill. Never attempt to pull a still operating
cutting disc out of the cut as this may cause kickback. Investigate
and take corrective actions to eliminate the cause of the jam.
- Do not switch the power tool back on as long as it remains
stuck in the work piece. Allow the cutting disc to achieve the
full revolutions before you continue to cut carefully. Otherwise,
the disc may get caught, jump out of the work piece or cause
kickback.
- Support panels or large work pieces to minimize the risk of
kickback caused by a trapped disc. Large work pieces may
bend under their own weight. The work piece must be supported
on both sides, near the line of cut and near the edge.
- Be very carefully when making plunge cuts in existing walls or
in other areas that are difcult to see. The plunging disc may cut
into gas or water pipes, electrical cables or other objects and
cause kickback.
.SPECIAL SAFETY NOTES REGARDING SAND-PAPER
SANDING
- Do not use over dimensioned sanding sheets, instead following
the manufacturer’s instructions regarding size. Sanding sheets
that protrude beyond the sanding plate may cause injuries, jamming
and tearing of the sheets or cause kickback.
12

USER MANUAL
.SPECIAL SAFETY NOTES REGARDING POLISHING
- Do not permit parts of the polishing hood to be loose, in particular,
xing cords. Conceal or shorten xing cords. Loose, rotating xing
cords may catch your ngers or get trapped in the work piece.
.SPECIAL SAFETY NOTES REGARDING WORKING WITH
WIRE BRUSHES
- Please note that wire brushes will lose wire bristles during
normal operation. Do not overload the wires by applying too
high a pressure. Flying wire bristles may easily pass through
very thing clothing and/or skin.
- If a protective good is recommended, make sure that the hood
and the wire brush do not make contact. Wheel and cup brushes
may increase in diameter as a result of pressure and centrifugal
forces.
.ADDITIONAL SAFETY NOTES
- Prior to starting work, use appropriate tool to determine whether
there are any hidden supply lines are located on the area you
are working in. If in doubt, ask the relevant supply services.
Contact with power lines may cause re and electrical shock.
Damaging a gas pipe may cause an explosion. Damaging a water
pipe leads to considerable property damage and may cause
electrical shock.
- Avoid uncontrolled restarting. Switch the tool off when the
power supply is interrupted, for example, by a power failure or
pulling the plug.
13

DIE GRINDER
- Secure the work piece. Use tensioning equipment or a vice to secure
the work piece to help prevent kickback or uncontrolled ying of the
work piece (e.g. when getting jammed in the work piece.)
- Keep your workplace clean. Mixed contamination by various
materials is particularly dangerous. Light metal dust (e.g. aluminum)
can ignite or explode easily.
- Inform yourself about the surface to be sanded and any dusts
and vapors that may be generated. If in doubt, do not breathe in
even small amounts of the generated dusts and vapors. When
sanding certain surfaces (various metals, minerals or woods as
well as weather protecting paints) damaging/ poisonous dusts
may be generated which can cause allergic reactions or serious
illness. Do not breathe these dusts and vapors in and avoid all
contact. Materials containing asbestos may only be processed
by specialists.
- Never use the power too with a damaged cable. Do not touch
a damaged cable and pull out the power plug. Damaged cables
increase the risk of electric shock.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to jam and are easier to control.
- Prevent overheating of the device and the work piece. Excess
heat may damage the tool and the device.
- Shortly after being used, the tool may be very hot. Allow a hot
tool to cool down. Touching a hot tool may cause burns.
- Never clean a hot tool with ammable liquids. There is a risk
of re and explosion.
- Keep the handles dry and free of grease. Slippery handles can
lead to accidents.
- Always comply with the all applicable domestic and international
safety, health, and working regulations.
