WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN
60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for different
applications, with different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may signifi cantly increase the
exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is
running but not actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the
accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

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.
g) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or
other accessories must be fully inserted into the collet or
chuck. The "overhang" or the length of the mandrel from
the wheel to the collet must be minimal. If the mandrel is
insuffi ciently held and/or the overhang of the wheel is too long,
the mounted wheel may become loose and ejected at high
velocity.
h) 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 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 noload speed for one minute. Damaged
accessories will normally break apart during this test time.
i) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on
application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety
glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing
protectors, gloves and shop apron capable of stopping
small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping fl ying debris generated by various
operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of
fi ltrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
j) 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 fl y away and cause injury beyond immediate
area of operation.
k) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when
performing an operation where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a „live"
wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool „live"
and could give the operator an electric shock.
l) Always hold the tool fi rmly in your hands during the
start-up. The reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to
full speed, can cause the tool to twist.
m) Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical.
Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in
the other hand while in use. Clamping a small workpiece
allows you to use both hands to control the tool. Round
material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have a tendency
to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump
toward you.
n) 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.
o) After changing the bits or making any adjustments,
make sure the collet nut, chuck or any other adjustment
devices are securely tightened. Loose adjustment devices
can unexpectedly shift, causing loss of control, loose rotating
components will be violently thrown.
p) 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.
q) 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.
r) Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
s) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.
Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution
or shock.
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 fi rm 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) 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.
c) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and
loss of control.
d) Always feed the bit into the material in the same
direction as the cutting edge is exiting from the material
(which is the same direction as the chips are thrown).
Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge
of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the
direction of this feed.
e) When using steel saws, cut-off wheels, high-speed
cutters or tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work
securely clamped. These wheels will grab if they become
slightly canted in the groove, and can kickback. When a cut-off
wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When the steel
saw, high-speed cutters or tungsten carbide cutter grab, it may
jump from the groove and you could lose control of the tool.
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Grinding
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and only for recommended applications. For
example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding,
side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.
b) For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only
undamaged wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder
fl ange that are of correct size and length. Proper mandrels
will reduce the possibility of breakage.
c) Do not position your hand in line with and behind the
rotating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is
moving away from your hand, the possible kickback may
propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
d) 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.
e) 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.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Always wear goggles when using the machine. It is
recommended to wear gloves, sturdy non slipping shoes and
apron.
After switching off, the machine will not be idle immediately.
(After-running of the work spindle.) Allow the machine to come
to a stop before putting down.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is
running.
Only use tools whose permitted speed is at least as high as
the highest no-load speed of the machine.
Check grinding tools before use. The grinding tool must be
properly mounted and turn freely. Perform a test run for at least
30 seconds without load. Do not use damaged, out of round or
vibrating grinding tools.
When grinding metal, fl ying sparks are produced. Take care
that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fi re,
no combustible materials should be located in the vicinity
(spark fl ight zone). Do not use dust extraction.
Due care should be taken that no sparks or sanding dust fl ying
from the workpiece come into contact with you.
The adjusting nut must be tightened before starting to work
with the machine.
Under the effect of extreme electromagnetic interferences from
the outside, temporary variations in the speed of rotation could
arise in particular cases.
Always use and store the grinding disks according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
The workpiece must be fi xed if it is not heavy enough to be
steady. Never move the workpiece towards the rotating disk by
hand.
The size of the grinding tool must be suitable for the grinder.
For dusty operations, the machine's ventilation slits must be
kept clear. If necessary, switch off the power to the machine
and remove the dust. Use a non-metallic object for this, taking
care not to damage any of the inner parts.
