ergising power tools that have the switch on invites acci-
dents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning
u
the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the power tool may result in personal in-
jury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
u
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
u
ellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can
be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust ex-
u
traction and collection facilities, ensure these are con-
nected and properly used. Use of dust collection can re-
duce dust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
u
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it was de-
signed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it
u
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 and/or the
u
battery pack from the power tool 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
u
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 bind-
u
ing 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.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly main-
u
tained 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
u
accordance with these instructions, taking into ac-
count the working conditions and the work to be per-
formed. Use of the power tool for operations different
from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
u
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety instructions for all applications
Safety warnings common for grinding, wire brushing,
polishing or carving
This power tool is intended to function as a grinder,
u
wire brush, polisher or carving tool. Read all safety
warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifica-
tions provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Operations such as sanding or cutting-off are not re-
u
commended to be performed with this power tool. Op-
erations for which the power tool was not designed may
create a hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically de-
u
signed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
The rated speed of the grinding accessories must be
u
at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the
power tool. Grinding accessories running faster than
their rated speed can break and fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your ac-
u
cessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be ad-
equately controlled.
The arbour size of wheels, sanding drums or any other
u
accessory must properly fit the spindle or collet of the
power tool. 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.
Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or
u
other accessories must be fully inserted into the collet
or chuck. If the mandrel is insufficiently held and/or the
overhang of the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel
may become loose and be ejected at high velocity.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use in-
u
spect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips
and cracks, sanding drum for cracks, tear or excess
wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or in-
stall an undamaged accessory. After inspecting and
installing an accessory, position yourself and bystand-
ers 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.
Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
u
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing pro-
tectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-
ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye
protection must be capable of stopping flying debris gen-
erated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator
must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your
operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise
may cause hearing loss.
