Noise and vibration
• Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to
ISO 28927-3. The figures given can be used to compare similar tools tested
to this standard. These figures may be used to assess exposure to noise and
vibration levels.
• The figures represent normal use for the tool in normal working condition.
A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled or misused tool may produce
increased levels of noise and vibration. The total working period that you can
operate this tool must factor in periods where the tool is idle or switched off.
Allow frequent rest breaks when operating this tool.
• It is in the interest of users to maximise their safety using the correct safety
equipment, like ear defenders that protect against loud or repetitive noise,
and anti-vibration gloves that minimise vibration. Do not operate the tool with
your hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a
greater effect.
Sound
• The noise directive was introduced to protect against the risk to health and
safety arising or likely to arise from exposure to noise and risk of hearing. The
Directive can be used to define noise exposure and the physical parameters,
such as peak sound pressure and daily and weekly exposure level. Particular
attention should be taken to exposure level and duration.
• For more information on the Noise Directives 2003/10/EC and 2000/14/EC,
please visit The European Agency for Safety and Health at work - www.osha.
europa.eu.
Vibration
• The European Physical Agents (Vibration) Directive 2002/44/EC was introduced
to control the exposure of vibration at work. The Directive enables users of
tools to make informed decisions on the amount of time spent working. Those
who regularly operate high vibration equipment over a sustained period of time
are at a higher risk of health problems. ISO 28927-3 measures vibration in
three directions which is known as tri-axial or vector sum measurement. When
operating high vibration equipment, ensure not to exceed exposure levels. For
more details on The Vibration Directive 2002/44/EC please visit The European
Agency for Safety and Health at work -www.osha.europa.eu

• DO NOT operate a grinder without the appropriate guards in place
• Grinding tool accessories must be mounted, used and stored in compliance with
the manufacturer’s recommendations
• Only use cutting discs in the size stated in this instruction manual. Attempting
to use any other accessory or attachment is extremely dangerous and could
lead to serious injury
• Use the correct type of cutting or grinding disc for the task and material
being worked on. Check the label on the disc or accessory to find out if it is
appropriate to use on the workpiece
• The maximum speed of the cutting/grinding disc or other accessory must
always be higher than the maximum speed of the machine on which they are
mounted
• Do not use any form of spacers or adapters in an attempt to make an incorrectly
sized disc fit your machine
• Ensure that the cutting/grinding disc or accessory is fitted correctly and
securely before use. Run the machine with the disc or accessory fitted, but
without load, for a reasonable time before attempting to cut/grind. If excessive
vibration occurs, stop the machine, investigate and correct the cause before
use. Seek professional guidance if you are in doubt about how to operate the
machine safely
• All discs and accessories must be checked before installation. If a disc
is damaged in any way, such as by being chipped, fractured, warped or
misshapen, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD. If you are unsure about whether a disc
is safe to operate, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD
• Always ensure that accessories are suitable to use. Check the expiry date on
the label. Resin-based and other grinding and cutting discs CANNOT SAFELY BE
USED beyond their expiry date
• Do not allow discs to become wet or contaminated with oil. If you suspect that a
disc has degraded in storage, or if you are unsure about whether its expiry date
has passed, DO NOT USE AND DISCARD
• Do not attempt to cut or grind magnesium or any alloy that has high
magnesium content
• Do not attempt to make cuts that exceed the maximum cutting depth of the disc
• Hold the machine appropriately to ensure that debris produced does not land

Operation
WARNING: DO NOT switch the machine on/off when the disc is in contact with
the workpiece. Always allow the motor to reach its full speed before applying load,
and to stop completely before placing the grinder down. Always hold the machine
securely, using both hands, on the handles provided.
1. Hold the tool by its Handle (1) and turn it so the open side of the Guard (2) is
facing away from you. Your thumb should wrap around the handle and your
fingers should sit on the Speed Control Trigger (9)
2. Disengage the Safety Catch (10) and gently squeeze the trigger to wards the
handle
3. The Grinding Disc (5) will begin to spin. Squeeze the trigger further to
increase the speed; slightly release to decrease the speed
4. With the disc spinning at the required speed, slowly move the disc towards
the workpiece, and gently engage the material
WARNING: When the disc begins to cut/grind, it will force the tool to move
sideways. Make sure you have a firm grip on the tool and are ready to counteract
this.
5. As the disc begins to cut/grind, take note of the direction in which the waste
material is being ejected. It should be directed away from you, and not
towards any person or object to which it may cause damage
6. To stop the tool, remove the disc from the workpiece, fully release the trigger
and allow the safety catch to re-engage
Note: DO NOT allow the tool to run in ‘idle rotation’ for an extended period of time.
This will shorten its life.
WARNING: Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always
bleed air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply.
Grinding
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for grinding operations. Stone and
metal grinding discs are not interchangeable; use the correct disc for your
application
• When grinding, hold the tool at a 15° to 30° angle to the surface of the
workpiece (Fig. A)
Note: Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst grinding. Excessive
pressure does not result in more effective removal of material, but will cause
premature wear of the grinding disc and increased wear and tear on the machine.
Cutting
• Only use discs specifically manufactured for cutting operations. Stone and metal
cutting discs are not interchangeable, use the correct disc for your application
• Never use cutting discs for grinding operations. The disc might shatter and
produce projectiles that could injure the operator and bystanders
• When cutting, always keep the angle of the disc constant. Do not apply any
sideways force to cutting discs, as this might lead to the disc becoming jammed
in the cut and shatter
WARNING: Do not apply too much pressure to the machine whilst cutting.
Excessive pressure does not result in more effective or faster cutting, but will in
fact cause premature wear of the cutting disc and increase wear and tear on the
machine.
Note: The cutting disc will wear during use, and the disc diameter will gradually
reduce in size. The smaller the disc becomes, the more strain will be placed on
the motor. To avoid damage to the machine, only use cutting discs that are within
approximately 25% of the original size.

Niveau sonore et vibratoire
• Les niveaux sonores et vibratoires des caractéristiques techniques sont
déterminés en fonction de la norme ISO 28927 – 3. Ces données peuvent être
utilisées pour comparer des outils similaires et testés selon cette norme. Ces
données peuvent également servir à estimer l’exposition aux niveaux sonores
et vibratoires.
• Ces données correspondent à un usage normal de l’appareil, et ce dans des
conditions de travail normales. Un appareil mal entretenu, mal assemblé ou
mal utilisé peut augmenter les niveaux sonores et vibratoires. La durée totale
d’utilisation sur laquelle vous utilisez l’appareil doit prendre en compte les
périodes où l’appareil est éteint ou à l’arrêt. Faites des pauses régulièrement
lorsque vous utilisez cet appareil.
• Il dans l’intérêt de l’utilisateur d’assurer au maximum sa sécurité en s’équipant
de protections de sécurité tels que des casques anti-bruit qui protègent contre
les bruits répétitifs et forts, et des gants anti-vibration pour diminuer les effets
vibratoires. Ne pas utiliser cet appareil si vos mains sont au-dessous des
températures normales, car l’effet vibratoire en est accentué.
Le niveau sonore
• La directive sur les émissions sonores a été introduite pour protéger contre les
risques pour la santé, améliorer la sécurité et prévenir les risques de pertes
auditives par l’exposition aux émissions sonores. Cette directive peut être
utilisée pour définir l’exposition sonore et les paramètres physiques, tels que
les niveaux de pression acoustique, les niveaux quotidiens et hebdomadaires
d’exposition. Une attention particulière doit être portée au niveau d’exposition
et à la durée. Pour plus d’informations relatives aux directives sur les émissions
sonores 2003/10/CE et 2000/14/CE, consultez le site http://osha.europa.eu/fr.
Le niveau vibratoire
• La directive relative à l’exposition des travailleurs aux risques dus aux
agents physiques 2002/44/CE a été introduite pour contrôler l’exposition aux
vibrations au travail. Cette directive permet aux utilisateurs d’évaluer la durée
d’utilisation de l’appareil. Les personnes utilisant des équipements à effet
vibratoire élevé pendant de longues périodes sont plus exposées aux risques
sur la santé. La norme ISO 28927-3 mesure les vibrations selon trois axes,
par la somme vectorielle triaxiale. Lors de l’utilisation d’appareils à haut effet
vibratoire, assurez-vous de ne pas dépasser les niveaux d’exposition. Pour
plus d’informations relativement à la directive sur l’exposition aux vibrations,
