OSCILLATING HANDHELD GRINDER

Additional safety tips useful for grinding:

a) The oscillating handheld grinder, referred to as 'the grinder' is not a waterproof device, therefore it can be used exclusively for dry grinding. Penetration of water into the electric tool interior may lead to electrocution.
b) Grinding of metals entails emission of sparks. One should make sure that the sparks splattered during grinding present no hazard to anybody and that all inflammable (combustible) materials are removed from the vicinity.

Sparking may also lead to self-ignition of grinding dust. The hazard is even more serious when the dust is mixed with remnants of paints, polyurethane or other chemicals and grinded material is hot after prolonged machining. It is why operators must avoid excessive heating

of treated material or the grinder as well as always remove dust during breaks and after completion of grinding jobs.

c) Workplace must be always kept clean and tidy. Mixtures of various materials are particularly hazardous. Dust of light metals may catch fire or explode.
d) Aspiration of grinding dust is harmful to health. Direct physical contact with dusts or their penetration to lungs can cause allergic reactions and/or respiratory system diseases of the operator or persons in the vicinity. Some materials, e.g. paint coatings with lead content, contain potentially toxic chemical substances. In order to reduce the impact of these substances, the workplace must be always well ventilated, and tested and safe protective measures must be used, such as safety dust filter masks with a P2 class absorber designed especially for filtering microscopic particles. Dust extraction should be used, if only possible.
e) Safety goggles must always be used in order to prevent dust from getting into eyes.
f) Use of hearing protectors is mandatory (headsets, earplugs). Long-term exposure to intense noise may lead to deafness.
g) Operators must wear protecting gloves and never touch the grinder shoe when the machine is in motion. It presents hazard of hand injuries.
h) While working with the electric tool operators must always hold it with two hands and keep safe position of the entire body. Operation of an electric tool with two hands is always safer.
i) Protect the object machined. It is safer to fix the object machined in a fixing device or a vice than holding it in your hand.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing an operation where the grinding accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Grinding accessory contacting a 'live' wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool 'live' and could give the operator an electric shock.
k) After unexpected interruption of power voltage, e.g. after a voltage shutoff or unplugging the power cord, it is mandatory to unlock the On/Off trigger and release it to the Off position. It is the measure that prevents from unintentional activation of the electric tool.
1) Do not use a power tool with its power cord damaged. Do not touch the power cord when damaged; in case of damaging the power cord during operation unplug it from the mains. Damaged power cords increase the risk of electric shock.

ATTENTION! If a permanently fixed power cord becomes damaged, it must be replaced with a special cable or assembly available at the manufacturer's or at a specialized repair service point.

DESIGN AND APPLICATION AREA OF THE GRINDER:

The grinder is designed for dry grinding of wooden, wood-containing, metal or plastic surfaces as well as removing old paint coatings with use of abrasive paper with necessary grade and granulation (from 40 to 400).

CAUTION! Do never use the grinder for asbestos and graphite-containing materials. Do not apply for gypsum (joints of cardboard and gypsum panels) or similar materials. Fine dust penetrates into the machine interior and clogs ventilation paths, which leads to overheating of the motor and its eventual burning. Such defects

present the reason to make the guarantee rights null and void.

The tool is a device of the second class of electric protection (double insulation) and is driven with a single-phase motor.

The tool is designed only for household (DIY) application. Do never use the tool for applications that need use of professional equipment. The warranty terms are null and void when the tool is used at craftsman workshops, for industrial applications or in similar fields.

Any other application not in line with the intended use as specified above is forbidden and makes the guarantee rights null and void. The manufacturer shall not be held responsible for consequential impairments.

The grinder design is shown in Fig. A. Any unauthorized modifications of the device carried out by the users themselves release the manufacturer from any responsibility for failures or harms to humans or environment. The intended use of the grinder includes also its maintenance, storage, transportation and repairs.

The grinder can be repaired only by service workshops appointed by the manufacturer. Any tools supplied from the electric power network can be repaired exclusively by authorized electricians.

Specific residual risks cannot be eliminated despite proper use. The following threats may occur resulting from the design and structure of the machine:

• Hearing loss if necessary hearing protection is not used;
• Harmful emissions of wood dust in confined spaces;
• Risk to health during prolonged use of the power tool. In such circumstances, regular brakes are recommended.

The vibration level value given refers to basic application of the tool. If the tool is used for other applications or with other tools, or if it is not maintained properly, the vibration level may differ from the values given. The above-mentioned causes may lead to higher exposure to vibrations during the whole work time.

One must implement additional safety measures to protect the operators from exposure to vibrations, such as maintenance of the electric tool and work tools, assurance of proper hand temperature, or determination of the sequence of work operations.

The declared total vibrations and declared noise emissions were measured in accordance with a standard test method and may be used for tool comparison.

The declared total vibrations and noise emissions can be used in preliminary exposure assessment.

Warnings:

The vibrations and noise emissions during the actual use of the power tool may differ from the declared values depending on how the tool is used and on the type of the workpiece in particular.

Determine safeguards to protect the operator. They should be based on the estimated exposure under actual operational conditions (taking into account all parts of the operating cycle such as when the tool is switched off or idle except the start time).

PRIOR TO START WORKING:

• Make sure that parameters of the power voltage correspond to the ones of the specified on the rating plate of the device. grinder
  • Make sure that the On/Off switch is in the Off position.
• While working with a power cord extension make sure that parameters of the extension cable and cross-sections of its wires are sufficient for parameters of the grinder. It is recommended to use extension cables as short as possible and uncoil them to the full length.

CAUTION: Grinding operations must be always carried out with use of personal protection equipment for the upper respiratory tract (dust masks).

- Due to health reasons it is also mandatory to use a dust container (7)

or a vacuum cleaner of industrial type as a system for dust extraction. The suction hose of the vacuum cleaner must be connected directly to the dust ejector nozzle (10) (see Fig. B).

• Extreme caution must be taken while grinding painted surfaces. Some paints or varnishes contain hazardous substances, thus the collected dust must be disposed in the environment-safe manner.
• When grinding operations are carried out on surfaces coated with paints containing lead components it is mandatory to use dust masks capable to adsorb lead vapours. Children or pregnant women are not allowed to stay at such workplaces. No eating or drinking is allowed during such operations.
• The machine must never be applied to grind magnesium-coated surfaces.

■ Fitting of abrasive paper

WARNING! Disconnect the plug from the electric socket before you start any work on the power tool.

Clean debris and dust off the grinder shoe (1) with a brush before applying new abrasive paper.

The surface of the shoe () has hooks for quick and easy installation of 1 hook-and-loop abrasive paper.

Put a piece of abrasive paper against the shoe of the grinder () and press 1 firmly over the entire area.

Make sure the holes in the abrasive paper are aligned with dust holes ( ) 9 in the grinder shoe ( ) (Fig. ).1 B

Instructions for installing roll or cut abrasive paper:

1. Unlock the fixing clamps (10).
2. Place a sheet of abrasive paper (11) on the grinder shoe (1) so that holes in the paper sheet would coincide with opening for dust suction (9) in the grinder shoe (see Fig. B-C). Fold edges of the paper and slide them into holders. Lock the fixing clamps (8). The paper must be fitted firmly and reliably.

Abrasive sheets without holes, e. g. from rolls or by the meter, can be punctured with the perforating tool (). For this, push the power tool 12 with the abrasivesheet mounted onto the perforating tool (see Fig. E).

■ Installing a dust container (see Fig. B)

Push the dust container (7) over the dust ejection nozzle (10) as far as it goes.

For best results of the integrated dust suction system, empty the dust container every 5-10 minutes of tool operation.

To empty the dust container remove it from the nozzle and tap it gently against a hard surface to separate dust from the walls. Empty the container through the seating opening.

Use a soft brush to clean the container filtering meshes.

OPERATION:

■ Switching on/off

• To turn the grinder on, move the on/off trigger (4) slider forward.
• To turn the grinder off, move the on/off trigger (4) slider back.

■ Speed selection (only for TMC330)

The tool is fitted with an electronic control system that makes it possible to select the frequency of rotation depending on the material processed.

The speed adjustment knob (2) can be set within the range from 1 (lowest oscillation frequency, e.g. when sanding surfaces sensitive to

high temperatures) to MAX (highest oscillation frequency). The required speed depends on the material and working conditions – it can be adjusted by the trial and error method only.

Grinding

Secure the machined piece on a steady surface or lock it in a vice. Switch the grinder on.

Drive the grinding shoe of the tool on the machined surface with small, elliptic movements. Do not apply any additional pressure, the own weight of the device is fully sufficient. Strong pressure onto the treated surface is not a measure that increases efficiency of grinding; instead, it leads to premature wear of both the tool and the abrasive paper.

Repeat several subsequent grinding operations using abrasive paper with lower granulation size each time.

NOTE: Only abrasive sheets of sound working condition guarantee satisfying performance of machining and protect the tool from possible failures.

STORAGE AND MAINTENANCE:

WARNING: Unplug the device from the electric network before any maintenance or repair operations.

Generally, this power tool does not require any special maintenance.

Store the machine in a place away from children, keep it clean and protect from humidity and dust. Storage conditions should exclude any mechanical damage and weathering.

■ Cleaning

In order to provide safe and efficient operation, case and ventilation gaps of the grinder should always be free of dust and fouling, if only possible. It is recommended to clean the tool immediately after each use.

Wipe off the grinder with a soft, damp rug with a minute amount of soap, or blow it through with compressed air at low pressure.

Do not use any cleaning agents or solvents; they can damage plastic parts of the grinder.

Take care to not let water inside the device.

■ Transport

Transport and store the device in a package protecting from humidity and dust. Secure the vents. Small elements penetrating the casing might damage the motor.
