Class II machine. Your machine is double insulated; therefore no earthwire is required.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR ANGLE GRINDERS

• The machine has been designed for use as a grinder or cut-off machine. The machine is not suitable for operations such as sanding, wire brushing, polishing, etc. Risk of personal injury.
• Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the manufacturer. Risk of personal injury.
• Inspect the machine and the accessories before each use. Do not use accessories which are bent, cracked, or otherwise damaged. If the machine or one of the accessories is dropped, inspect the machine or the accessory for damage. If necessary, replace the accessory.
• Let the machine run at no load in a safe area after mounting the accessories. If the machine vibrates strongly, immediately switch off the machine, remove the mains plug from the mains, and try to solve the problem.
• Make sure that the maximum speed for the grinding disc is larger than or the same as the maximum speed of the machine. Refer to the rating plate on the machine.
• Only use grinding discs with the correct thickness and outside diameter. Refer to the rating plate on the machine.
• Make sure that spindle diameter of grinding discs, spacers, tension nuts, etc. correspond to the diameter of the spindle on the machine.
• Make sure that the grinding disc is properly mounted. Do not use adapters or other aids to mount grinding discs with another spindle diameter.
• Only use grinding discs that are recommended by the manufacturer. Only use guards that are specifically designed for the grinding disc.
  • Only use grinding discs that are suitable for

the application. For example: do not grind with the side of a cut-off disc.

• Do not use the machine without the guard. Securely mount the guard for maximum safety. Make sure that the user is protected from the grinding disc as much as possible.
• Make sure that the workpiece is properly supported or fixed.
• Wear safety goggles. Wear hearing protection. Wear a dust mask. If necessary, use other protective means, such as safety gloves, safety shoes, etc. Risk of personal injury.
• Keep bystanders away from the work area. Make sure that all persons in the work area wear protective equipment. Risk of personal injury.
• Keep the mains cable away from the rotating grinding disc. If the mains cable touches the rotating grinding disc, your hands or arms may come in contact with the grinding disc. Risk of personal injury.
• Hold the machine by the insulated gripping surfaces where the grinding disc may contact hidden wiring or the mains cable. If the grinding disc contacts a 'live' wire, the exposed metal parts of the machine can also become 'live'. Risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the machine while carrying it at your side. Risk of personal injury.
• Do not use the machine on workpieces requiring a maximum grinding depth that exceeds the maximum grinding depth of the grinding disc.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Risk of electric shock.
• Do not use the machine near flammable materials. Risk of fire.
• Do not work materials containing asbestos. Asbestos is considered carcinogenic.
• Do not work metal with a magnesium content of more than 80%.
• Beware that the grinding disc continues to rotate for a short period after switching off the machine. Do not attempt to bring the grinding disc to a standstill yourself.
• Never put the machine down on a table or a workbench before it has been switched off.
• Regularly clean the ventilation slots. Risk of electric shock.

Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched, bound or twisted grinding disc, which causes the machine to lift up and out of the workpiece towards the user. If the grinding disc is pinched or bound tightly by the cut, the grinding disc jams and the machine is rapidly driven back towards the user. If the grinding disc is twisted in the cut, the back edge of the grinding disc can dig into the top surface of the workpiece, which causes the grinding disc to climb out of the cut and jump back towards the user.

Kickback is the result of incorrect use of the machine and/or incorrect operating procedures or conditions. Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:

• Firmly hold the machine with both hands. Position your arms to resist kickback forces. Position your body to either side of the grinding disc, but not in line with the grinding disc. Kickback can cause the grinding disc to jump backwards. If proper precautions are taken, kickback forces can be controlled by the user.
• Be extra careful when using the machine on corners, sharp edges, etc. Make sure that the grinding disc does not become jammed. Risk of kickback.
• If the grinding disc jams or if you interrupt a cut for any reason, release the on/off switch and hold the machine motionless in the material until the grinding disc comes to a complete standstill. Never attempt to remove the machine from the workpiece or pull the machine backward while the grinding disc is in motion. Risk of kickback.
• Do not use blunt or damaged grinding discs. Unsharpened or incorrectly mounted grinding discs produce narrow cuts, which causes excessive friction and kickback and increases the risk of the grinding discs becoming jammed.
• Do not use toothed saw blades. Do not use woodcarving blades for saw chains. Risk of personal injury.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Always check that the voltage of the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

• Do not use the machine if the mains cable or the mains plug is damaged.
• Only use extension cables that are suitable for the power rating of the machine with a

minimum thickness of 1.5 mm^2 . If you use a extension cable reel, always fully unroll the cable.

Mains plug replacement (UK only)

If the moulded 3-pin plug attached to the unit is damaged and needs replacing, it is important that it is correctly destroyed and replaced by an approved BS 1363/5A fused plug and that the following wiring instructions are followed.

The wires in the mains cable are coloured in accordance with the following code:

blue neutral

brown live

As the colours of the wires in the mains cable of the unit may not correspond to the coloured markings identifying the terminals in the plug, proceed as follows:

• The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
• The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.

Vibration level

The vibration emission level stated in this instruction manual has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745-1; it may be

used to compare one tool with another and as a preliminary assessment of exposure to vibration when using the tool for the applications mentioned

• using the tool for different applications, or with different or poorly maintained accessories, may significantly increase the exposure level
• the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing the job, may significantly reduce the exposure level

Protect yourself against the effects of vibration by maintaining the tool and its accessories, keeping your hands warm, and organizing your work patterns
