Introduction / General safety advice for electrical power tools

Regularly using the electric tool in such a way may
make it easy to underestimate the vibration.

Note: If you wish to make an accurate assessment
of the vibration loads experienced during a particular
period of working, you should also take into account
the intervening periods of time when the device is
switched off or is running but is not actually in use.
This can result in a much lower vibration load over
the whole of the period of working.

General safety advice for

electrical power tools

Read all the

safety advice and instructions!

Failure to observe the safety advice
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and /
or serious injury.

Keep all the safety advice and instructions
in a safe place for future reference!

The term “electrical tool” used in the safety advice
refers to electrical tools powered by mains electrici­ty (by means of a mains lead) and electrical tools
powered by rechargeable batteries (without a
mains lead).

1. Workplace safety

a) Keep your working area clean and

well lit. Untidy or poorly lit working areas can

lead to accidents.

b) Do not work with the device in poten-

tially explosive environments in which
there are inflammable liquids, gases
or dusts. Electrical power tools create sparks,

which can ignite dusts or fumes.

c) Keep children and other people away

while you are operating the electrical
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control

of the device.

2. Electrical safety

a)

The mains plug on the device must match
the mains socket. The plug must not be
modified in any way. Do not use an
adapter plug with devices fitted with
a protective earth. Unmodified plugs and

matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid touching earthed surfaces such

as pipes, radiators, ovens and refrig­erators with any part of your body.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is earthed.

c) Keep the device away from rain or

moisture. Water entering an electrical device

increases the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not use the mains lead for any pur-

pose for which it was not intended,

e.g.
to carry the device, to hang up the de­vice or to pull the mains plug out of
the mains socket. Keep the mains lead
away from heat, oil, sharp edges or
moving parts of the device. Damaged

or tangled mains leads increase the risk of
electric shock.

e) When working outdoors with an

electrical power tool always use ex­tension cables that are also approved
for use outdoors. The use of an extension

cable suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk
of electric shock.

f) Use a residual current device (RCD)

for protection if operating the electri­cal power tool in a moist environment
is unavoidable. The use of an RCD reduces

the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

a) Remain alert at all times, watch what

you are doing and always proceed
with caution. Do not use the device if
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. One mo

ment
of carelessness when using the device can lead
to serious injury.

8 GB/CY

General safety advice for electrical power tools

b) Wear personal protective equipment

and always wear safety glasses. The
wearing of personal protective equipment such
as dust masks, non-slip safety shoes, safety hel­mets or ear protectors, appropriate to the type
of electrical power tool used and work under­taken, reduces the risk of injury.

c) Avoid unintentional operation of the

device. Check that the electrical power
tool is switched off before you connect
it to the mains, pick it up or carry it.

Accidents can happen if you carry the device
with your finger on the ON / OFF switch or with
the device switched on.

d) Remove any setting tools or spanners

before you switch the device on. A tool

or spanner left attached to a rotating part of a
device can lead to injury.

e) Avoid placing your body in an unnat-

ural position. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. By doing this you will

be in a better position to control the device in
unforeseen circumstances.

f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear

loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your
hair, clothing and gloves clear of mov­ing parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long

hair can become trapped in moving parts.

g) If vacuum dust extraction and collection

devices are fitted do not forget to

check
that they are properly connected and
correctly used. The use of these devices

reduces the hazard presented by dust.

4. Careful handling and use
of electrical power tools

a) Do not overload the device. Always

use an electrical power tool that is
intended for the task you are under­taking. By using the right electrical power

tool for the job you will work more safely and
achieve a better result.

b) Do not use an electrical power tool if

its switch is defective. An electrical power
tool that can no longer be switched on and off
is dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Pull the mains plug from the socket

before you make any adjustments to
the device, change accessories or when
the device is put away. This precaution is

intended to prevent you from unintentionally
starting the device.

d) When not in use always ensure that

electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone use
the device if he or she is not familiar
with it or has not read the instructions
and advice. Electrical power tools are dan-

gerous when they are used by inexperienced
people.

e) Look after the device carefully. Check

that moving parts are working prop­erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam­aged parts repaired before you use
the device. Many accidents have their origins

in poorly maintained electrical power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.

Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.

g) Use the electrical power tool, accesso-

ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this par­ticular type of device. In doing this, take
into account the working conditions
and the task in hand. The use of electrical

power tools for purposes other than those in­tended can lead to dangerous situations.

5. Service

a) Have your device repaired at the ser-

vice centre or by qualified specialist
personnel using original manufacturer
parts only. This will ensure that your device

remains safe to use.

General safety advice for electrical power tools

Q

Safety advice for all uses

General safety advice for grinding,
sanding (with sandpaper), wire brushing,
polishing and disc-cutting:

a) This electrical power tool is intended

for use as a grinding, sanding, wire­brushing, and disc-cutting machine.
Observe all the safety advice, instruc­tions, information in figures and all
other information you received with
this device. If you do not observe the following

advice it could lead to electric shock, fire and /
or serious injury.

b) Normative statement / advice for this tool is not

applicable.

c) Do not use any accessory not specifi-

cally intended by the manufacturer
for this electrical power tool. Although

an accessory may fit on your electrical power
tool, this does not on its own guarantee that it
can be safely used.

d) The maximum permitted speed of an

attachment must be at least as high as
the maximum speed indicated for the
electrical power tool. An accessory rotating

faster than its permitted speed could disintegrate
or fly off.

e) The external diameter and the thickness

of the attachment must be compatible
with the dimensions of your electrical
power tool. Attachments that are not dimen-

sionally compatible cannot be adequately
guarded or controlled.

f) Grinding discs, flanges, grinding

wheels or other accessories must fit
exactly on to the spindle of your elec­trical power tool. Attachments that do not

exactly fit on the spindle turn unevenly, vibrate
severely and could lead to loss of control.

g) Do not use damaged attachments.

Before every use check attachments
such as grinding discs for loose frag­ments and cracks, grinding wheels for
cracks, deterioration or excessive
wear and wire brushes for loose or

broken wires. If the electrical power
tool or attachment is dropped, inspect
for damage or change the attachment
for an undamaged one. When you
have inspected and inserted the at­tachment, position yourself and by­standers away from the plane of the
rotating attachment and run the device
at maximum speed for one minute.

Damaged attachments will usually break apart
during this test.

h) Wear personal protective equipment.

Use a full face visor, safety goggles or
safety glasses, depending on the ap­plication. Wear a dust mask, hearing
protectors, safety gloves or special
apron capable of stopping particles of
the grinding medium or workpiece, as
appropriate for the task. Eyes must be

protected from the flying debris which can
arise from some operations. Dust or breathing
masks must be capable of filtering out the dust
generated by the application. Prolonged expo­sure to loud noise can lead to hearing loss.

i) Keep bystanders at a safe distance

from your work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Fragments of the

workpiece or of a broken attachment could fly
off and cause injury beyond the immediate
working area.

j) Hold the device by the insulated han-

dle surfaces when you are undertak­ing work where there is the danger
of the attachment striking hidden
electricity cables or the device’s mains
lead. Contact with a live wire could cause

metal parts of the device to become live and
lead to electric shock.

k) Keep the mains lead away from rotat-

ing attachments. If you lose control of the
device the mains lead may become severed or
trapped and your hand or arm may be pulled
into the rotating attachment.

l) Never lay the electrical power tool

down until after the attachment has
come to a complete standstill. The rotat-

10 GB/CY

General safety advice for electrical power tools

ing attachment may snag when it comes into
contact with the surface and cause you to lose
control of the device.

m) Do not have the electrical power tool

running while you are carrying it. Your
clothing could become trapped by unintention­al contact with the rotating attachment and the
tool could be pulled into your body.

n) Clean the ventilation slots on your

electrical power tool regularly. The mo­tor’s fan draws dust into the housing. A build-up
of metal dust could give rise to an electrical
hazard.

o) Never use the electrical power tool

near inflammable materials. Sparks
could ignite these materials.

p) Do not use attachments that require

the use of coolants. The use of water or
other liquid coolants could result in electric shock.

Q

Safety advice

relating to kickback

Kickback is the sudden reaction to a pinched or
snagged rotating attachment, such as a grinding
disc, grinding pad, wire brush etc. Pinching or
snagging results in the rotating attachment coming
to an abrupt stop. This causes the electrical power
tool (if not controlled) to move in the opposite di­rection to the direction of rotation of the attachment
at the point of constraint.

If, for example, a grinding disc is pinched or snags
in a workpiece, this can cause the edge of the
grinding disc to penetrate the workpiece, become
trapped there and either free itself or kickback. The
grinding disc moves towards or away from the op­erator, depending on the direction of movement of
the disc at the point of constraint. The grinding disc
could also break.

Kickback occurs as a result of incorrect use or mis­use of the electrical power tool. It can be prevented
by taking the appropriate precautions as described
below.

a) Maintain a firm grip on the electrical

power tool and position your body
and arms to allow you to resist kick­back forces. Always use the auxiliary
handle, if provided, to exercise the
greatest possible control over kick­back forces or reaction torques as the
device builds up to full speed. By taking

suitable precautions the operator can control
kickback and reaction forces.

b) Do not place your hands near a rotat-

ing attachment. If kickback occurs the at­tachment could move over your hand.

c) Avoid positioning your body in the

area into which the electrical power
tool would move in the event of a
kickback. A kickback moves the electrical

power tool in the opposite direction to the di­rection of movement of the grinding disc at the
point of constraint.

d) Work particularly carefully in the

area of corners, sharp edges etc. to
avoid the attachment bouncing or
snagging on the workpiece. Corners,

sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating attachment. This causes loss
of control or kickback.

e) Do not use saw-chain woodcarving

discs or toothed discs. Such attachments
create frequent kickback and loss of control of
the electrical power tool.

Q

Special safety advice relating

to grinding and disc-cutting

a) Always use the guard designed for

the type of abrasive consumable you
are using. Always use abrasive con

sum­ables approved for use with your elec­trical power tool. Abrasive consumables not

approved for use with your electrical power tool
cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

b) To ensure the highest level of opera-

tional safety, the disc guard cover must
be attached to the electrical power tool
and set in such a way that the smallest

11 GB/CY

General safety advice for electrical power tools

possible area of the abrasive consum­able is exposed to the operator. The disc

guard cover is there to protect the operator from
pieces breaking off and accidental contact with
the abrasive consumable.

c) Abrasive consumables must be used

only for their recommended purpos­es, For example: never grind with the
side face of a cutting disc. Cutting discs

are intended for removing material using the
edge of the disc. Sideways forces on these
abrasive consumables can cause them to break.

d) Always use an undamaged mounting

flange of the correct size and shape
for your selected grinding disc. Suitable

flanges support the grinding disc and reduce the
chance of it breaking. Flanges for cutting discs

are

different from the flanges for other abrasive discs.

e) Never use worn down abrasive con-

sumables intended for larger electrical
power tools. Abrasive consumables intended

for larger electrical power tools are not designed
for the faster rotational speeds of these smaller
electrical power tools and could break.

Q

Further special safety

advice for disc-cutting

a) Avoid snagging the cutting disc and

do not use too much contact pressure.
Do not attempt to make excessively
deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc in-

creases the load and the tendency of the disc
to twist or snag in the cut, making kickback or
disc breakage more likely.

b) Avoid the area in front of or behind

the rotating cutting disc. If the cutting disc
is moving away from you at the point of con­straint in the workpiece, then, in the event of
a kickback, the electrical power tool and the
rotating disc may be thrown towards you.

c) If the cutting disc jams or you stop

work for a while, switch the device
off and hold it until the disc comes to
a complete stop. Never attempt to
pull the still rotating cutting disc out of

the cut as this could cause kickback.

Determine and rectify the reason for the jamming.

d) Do not switch on the device if the cut-

ting disc is in the workpiece. Allow
the cutting disc to reach full speed be­fore carefully continuing with the cut.

Otherwise the disc could snag, jump out of the
workpiece or cause a kickback.

e) Support boards or workpieces whilst

cutting to reduce the risk of kickback
caused by a jammed cutting disc. Large

workpieces may bend under their own weight.
The workpiece must be supported to both sides
of the cutting disc and particularly near the
cutting disc and at the workpiece edge.

f) B

e particularly careful when pocket
cutting in existing walls or other areas
where you cannot see what you are cut

-

t

ing into. The cutting disc plunged into the surface

could cut through gas or water pipes, electricity
cables or other objects and cause kickback.

Q

Special safety advice for

abrading using sandpaper

Do not use over-sized sanding sheets.

Follow the manufacturer’s recommen­dations for sanding sheet size. Sanding

sheets that project beyond the backing pad
could cause injury in addition to jamming,
tearing of the sheet or kickback.

Q

Special safety

advice for polishing

Do not use the polishing bonnet if it

has any loose parts, in particular the
fastening cords. Tuck the fastening cords

away or trim them. Loose fastening cords rotat­ing with the attachment could catch your fingers
or become trapped in the workpiece.

12 GB/CY

General safety advice for electrical power tools

Q

Special safety advice for

working with wire brushes

a) Bear in mind that wire brushes lose

pieces of wire during normal use. Do
not overload the wires by applying too
much pressure. Flying pieces of wire can very

easily penetrate thin clothing and / or skin.

b) U

se a guard, if recommended, but m

ake
sure that the wire brush does not come
into contact with the guard. The diameters

of disc brushes and cup brushes can increase
due to contact pressure and centripetal forces.

they could be damaged.

Make sure that abrasive consumables

and tools are attached in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions
and advice. Otherwise they could become

detached from the device and result in injury
and / or damage to property.

Ensure that any spacers supplied and

required for the use of certain abrasive
consumables and tools are installed.

Do not use separate reducing bushes

or adapters in order to make grinding
discs with a larger bore fit.

When using abrasive consumables

and tools with a threaded insert make
sure that the tread is long enough for
the spindle length. Otherwise the grinding

discs could become detached from the device
and result in injury and / or damage to property.

Do not allow the end of the spindle

to contact the base of the hole in the
abrasive consumable.

Do not work in areas where there may

be concealed electricity cables or gas
or water pipes. Use a suitable detector
or ask your local utility service pro­viders. Contact with electricity cables can

lead to fire or electric shock. Damaging a gas
pipe can lead to an explosion. Penetration of a
water pipe can lead to property damage or to
electric shock.

NOXIOUS FUMES!

Working with harmful / noxious dusts represents
a risk to the health of the person operating the

8

.

Q

Advice on use

Note! Discs must be used only for their recom-

mended purposes, otherwise they could disintegrate,
become damaged or cause accidents.

Roughing (see Fig. G):

Never use cutting discs for

roughing or grinding!

Move the angle grinder using even

pressure to and fro over the workpiece.

Hold the roughing or grinding disc at

a flat angle to the workpiece when
working on a soft material. Use a
slightly steeper angle for harder ma­terials.

Disc-cutting (see Figs. E, F):

Never use roughing or
grinding discs for cutting!

Only use certified fibre-reinforced cut-

ting or grinding discs approved for use at
circumferential speeds of not less than 80 m / s.

CAUTION! The disc continues to rotate after

the device has been switched off. Do not at­tempt to slow it down by pressing on the side
of the disc.

Securely support the workpiece. Use

clamps or a vice to grip the workpiece firmly.
This is much safer than holding it in your hand.

Switch the device off and allow it to

come to a complete standstill before
you put it down.

Unlock the ON / OFF switch immedi-

ately if a power failure occurs or the
plug is pulled out of the mains socket.
Place the switch in the OFF position.

This prevents the device from being inadvertent­ly started up again.

Use the device for dry cutting or dry

grinding only.

The auxiliary handle 4 must be in

place

whenever the device is being used.

Do not work on materials containing

asbestos. Asbestos is a known carcinogen.

A tip! Using the device safely.

DANGER! Always guide

the device through the
workpiece against the di­rection of rotation of the

disc. If you work in the other direction there is

the risk of kickback. The device may be forced
out of the cut.

Always switch on the device before

placing it against the workpiece. After
cutting or grinding, always lift the device from
the workpiece before switching it off.

When working always hold the device

securely with both hands (see Fig. G).
Always keep proper footing and balance.

14 GB/CY

General safety advice for electrical power tools / Use

For the best grinding performance move the

device evenly to and fro over the workpiece
maintaining an angle of 15° to 30° (between
grinding disc and workpiece).

When working on inclined surfaces do

not press the device hard down on to
the workpiece. If the speed slows greatly,

use less pressure. This will allow you to work m

ore
effectively and safely. If the device suddenly
stops due to it becoming retarded or trapped,
pull the mains plug from the socket immediately.

Cutting: Advance the device at an

appropriate rate. Do not incline the
cutting disc.

Roughing, grinding and cutting discs

get hot during use – allow them to
cool fully before touching them.

Never use the device for a purpose

for which it was not intended.

Before you insert the mains plug into

the socket, always check that the de­vice is switched off.

If a dangerous situation arises, pull

the mains plug immediately out of the
mains socket. Ensure that the device and

the mains plug are easily accessible and can
be reached quickly in an emergency.

When taking a break from your

work, before carrying out any tasks
on the device itself and when you are
not using the device, always pull the
mains plug out of the mains socket.

Always keep the device clean, dry and free of
oil or grease.

Remain alert at all times! Always watch

what you are doing and proceed with
caution. Do not use the device if you cannot

concentrate or you are feeling unwell.
