Machine-specific SafetyWarnings

Safety instructions for grinding, sanding with sanding discs, working with wire brushes and abrasive cutting-off operations

This Power tool is intended to function as a grinder, wire bruch, polisher or cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

This power tool is not recommended for polishing. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury.

Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed 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 accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool.

Accessories running faster than their rated spees can break and fly apart.

The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your power tool.

Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.

The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit the spindle of the power tool.

Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.

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 no-load speed for one minute.

Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.

Wear personal protective equipment. Depending o application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.

The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated 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.

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 fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.

Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.

Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and shock the operator.

Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.

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.

Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side.

Accidental contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, fulling the accessory into your body.

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.

Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials.

Sparks could ignite these materials.

Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants.

Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

Kickback and RelatedWarnings

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.

Maintain a firm 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 or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.

Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs.

Kickback will propel the tool in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point of snagging.

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.

Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.

Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

SafetyWarnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off Operations

Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for the selected wheel.

Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.

The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposed towards the operator.

The guard helps to protect operator from broken wheel fragments and accidental contact with wheel.

Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.

Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.

Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel.

Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.

Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.

Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.

Additional safety instructions for abrasive cutting-off operations

Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of cut.

Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.

Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotationg wheel.

When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your body, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.

When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cutoff wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may occur.

Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate the cause of wheel binding.

Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully reenter the cut.

The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback it the power tool is restarted in the workpiece.

Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Support must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.

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.

Safety warnings specific for sanding operations

Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper.

Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sand-ing pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.

SafetyWarningspecificforWire Brushing Operations

Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the brush even during ordinary operation. Do not overstress the wires by applying excessive load to the brush.

The wire bristles can easily penetrate light clothing and/or skin.

If the use of a guard is recommended for wire brushing, do not allow any interference of the wire wheel or brush with the guard.

Wire wheel or brush may expand in diameter due to work load and centrifugal forces.

Additional warnings

Wear protective glasses and hearing protection.

Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance.

Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to

explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.

Always use the protective devices prescribed for the respective application.

Protective devices which are unsuitable for the application do not adequately guard the wheel.

During operation, always ensure that the mains and extension cable is to the rear away from the device.

This prevents anyone from tripping over the cable while working.

When working with the machine, always hold it firmly with both hands and provide for a secure stance.

The power tool is guided more secure with both hands.

Secure the workpiece.

A workpiece clamped with clamping devices or in a vice is held more secure than by hand.

Do not work on stone containing crystalline silica (SiO2).

This will produce dust which is dangerous to your health.

Do not work on materials containing asbestos.

Asbestos is considered carcinogenic!

Take protective measures if there is danger of formation of combustible or explosive dust during operation that can be hazardous to health.

Example: Some dusts can be carcinogenic. Wear a dust mask and work with a dust/chip extraction unit, if possible to connect.

Keep your workplace clean.

Blends of materials are particularly dangerous.

Dust from light alloys can burn or explode.

Do not clamp the machine into a vice.

A vice does not have suitable protective devices and thus causes an increased risk of injury.

Tools not in use must be locked away safely in a dry place out of the reach of children.

To mark the machine, do not drill into the housing.

The protective insulation would be bridged. Use stickers.

Never use the machine with a damaged cable. Do not touch the damaged cable and pull the mains plug when the cable gets damaged during operation.

Damaged cables increase the risk of electric shock.

Residual risk. Although this information sheet and the operating manuals for our electrical tools contain extensive instructions on safe working with electrical tools, every electrical tool involves certain residual risks that cannot be completely prevented through safety mechanisms. Therefore, electrical tools must always be operated with the necessary caution.

Operating tips

Clamp the workpiece if it does not remain stationary due to its own weight.

Grinding and cutting discs become very hot while working; do not touch until they have cooled.

Wear protective glasses and hearing protection.

Do not strain the machine so heavily that it comes to a standstill.

Rough Grinding

The best roughing results are achieved when setting the machine at an angle of 30^ to 40^ .

-WARNING-

Never use a cutting disc for roughing.

Move the machine back and forth with moderate pressure. In this manner, the workpiece will not become too hot, does not discolour and no grooves are formed.

Abrasive cutting-off operations

For cutting, always work with the protection guard for cutting 6.

Do not exert pressure onto the cutting disc, tilt or oscillate the machine.

Always work in reverse rotation with the angle grinder

There is a danger of the grinder jumping out of the cut in an uncontrolled manner.

When cutting, work with moderate feed, adapted to the material being cut. Rule of thumb: the harder the material, the slower the speed.

Do not reduce the speed of running down cutting discs by applying sideward pressure.

Cutting Metall

For cutting metal, always work with the protection guard for cutting 6.

Cutting Stone

The machine may be used only for dry cutting/ grinding.

For cutting stone, it is best to use a diamond cutting disc.

Working with a diamond cutting disc

For cutting especially hard material, e. g., concrete with high pebble content, the diamond cutting disc can overheat and become damaged as a result. This is clearly indicated by circular sparking, rotating with the diamond cutting disc.

In this case, interrupt the cutting process and allow the diamond cutting disc to cool by running the machine for a short time at maximum speed with no load.

Noticeable decreasing work progress and circular sparking are indications of a diamond cutting disc that has become dull. Briefly cutting into abrasive material (e.g. lime-sand brick) can resharpen the disc again.

Working with a cup-shaped wire brush

Use the cup-shaped wire brush to derust and clean metal and stone and to prepare surfaces for soldering and welding work.

Avoid motor overload

If the motor housing of the angle grinder becomes hot, the load on the motor is too high (danger of the motor burning).

Operate the machine at no-load speed to allow the motor to cool.

Turning the machine handle (Option)

Before carrying out any work on the machine, pull the mains plug.

Bow-shaped handle 4 can be rotated 90^ to the left and to the right in the direction of motor housing 3. This allows you to position On/Off switch II more conveniently for special working conditions; e. g. for abrasive cutting-off operations or for left-handed people.

Press handle unlocking device VII at at the same time, rotate bow-shaped handle 4 to the desired position until it engages.

-WARNING

Do not use the tool unless the rotatable handle is secured.

5. Tools and accessories

Use only tools and accessories recommended for use with the KRESS machine described in the illustrated instructions.

Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade.

Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control over the power tool.

Approved Grinding Tools

All grinding tools mentioned in these operating instructions can be used.

Observe the permissible rotational/ circumferential speed on the label of the grinding tool.

The values shown on the type plate of the angle grinder must not exceed the permissible speed [rpm] or circumferential speed [m / s] of the grinding tools used.

For safety reasons, the grinding tools must not be operated at circumferential speeds exceeding 80 m/s.

Observe the dimensions of the grinding tools. The diameter of the hole must fit clamping flange 11. Do not use adapters or reducers.

When using grinding tools, always observe the information provided by the grinding tool manufacturer.

Recycle raw materials instead of disposing them as waste. The machine, accessories and packaging should be sorted for environmental-friendly recycling.

The plastic components are labelled for categorised recycling.

Only for EC countries.

Do not dispose of electric tools together with household waste material!

In observance of the European Directive 2002/96/EC for waste electrical and electronic equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law,

electric tools that have reached the end of their life must be collected separately and returned to an environmentally compatible recycling facility.
