documents.
General Power Tool Safety Warnings
WARNING – Read all safety warnings and
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! The term "power tool" in the warnings
refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool
or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
2.1 Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
2.2 Electrical safety
a) 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. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
2.3 Personal safety
a) 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection.
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking
up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery
or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
2.4 Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power tool
Protective equipment such

before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting 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 instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits
etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
2.5 Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.
c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips,
coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal
objects, that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If
liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical
help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
2.6 Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
3. Special Safety Instructions
3.1 Safety Warnings Common for Grinding,
Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations:
a) This power tool is intended to function as a
grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-off tool. Read
all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations
and specifications provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
6
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
b) Operations such as polishing are not
recommended to be performed with this power
tool. Operations for which the power tool was not
designed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not
specifically designed and recommended by the
tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool, it does not
assure safe operation.
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 a 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 workshop 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 filtering 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 or its own cord. 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) 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.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these
materials.
o) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may
result in electrocution or shock.
3.2 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.
ENGLISH en
e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create
frequent kickback and loss of control.
3.3 Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding
and 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 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
the operator from broken fragments, accidental
contact with the wheel and sparks which could
ignite clothing.
d) Whe els mus t be use d only for recommended
applications.
For example: do not grind with the side of cutoff 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. Wheels intended for larger power
tools are not suitable for the higher speed of a
smaller tool and may burst.
3.4 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 reenter the cut. The wheel may bind,
7
ENGLISHen
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.
3.5 Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding
Operations:
a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturer's
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.
3.6 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.
3.7 Additional Safety Instructions
WARNING – Always wear protective
goggles.
Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been
supplied with the abrasive and if required.
Observe the specifications of the tool or accessory
manufacturer! Protect the discs from grease or
impacts!
Grinding discs must be stored and handled with
care in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Never use parting grinder discs for roughing work!
Do not apply pressure to the side of parting grinder
discs.
The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against
slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must
be sufficiently supported.
If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the
end of the spindle may not touch the base of the
hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread
in the accessory is long enough to accommodate
the full length of the spindle. The thread in the
accessory must match the thread on the spindle.
See page 2 and chapter 13. Technical
Specifications for more information on the spindle
length and thread.

defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are: Lead from leadbased paints, crystalline silica from bricks and
cement and other masonry products, Arsenic and
chromium from chemically-treated lumber, hard
wood like oak or beech, Metals, Asbestos.
The risk from these exposures depends on how
long you or bystanders are being exposed.
Do not let particles enter the body.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work (see
chapter 10.), thus less particles enter the
environment in an uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep clean using a vacuum cleaner Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing Do not
blow, beat or brush
