Noise and vibration data:

Measured values for noise are determined in accordance with EN 60745. The A-weighted noise level of the electrical power tool are typically:

Sound pressure level:	92 dB(A)
Sound power level:	108 dB(A)
Uncertainty K:	3 dB

Wear ear protection!

Evaluated acceleration, typical:

Hand / arm vibration ah = 11,95 m / s2 Uncertainty K = 1,5 m / s2

WARNING! The vibration level given in these instructions has been measured in accordance with a standardised measurement procedure specified in EN 60745 and can be used to compare devices.

Di erent uses of the device give rise to di erent vibration levels and in many cases they may exceed the

values given in these instructions. It is easy to underestimate the vibration load if the electrical power tool is used regularly in particular circumstances.

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 o 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

WARNING! 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 potentially 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.

GB/IE 7

General safety advice for electrical power tools

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

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 unnatural 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

General safety advice for electrical power tools

tool that can no longer be switched on and o 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 dangerous 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, accessories, 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.

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, wire-

brushing, 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 specifically 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 o .

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 dimensionally 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.

GB/IE 9

General safety advice for electrical power tools

Damaged attachments will usually break apart during this test.

h)Wear personal protective equipment. Use a full face vi-

sor, 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 o and cause injury beyond the immediate working area.

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.

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 di-

j)Hold the device by the insulated hanrection to the direction of rotation of the attachment

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 rotating 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.

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 mis-
