Model Sound pressure

NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) has been measured in accordance with a standard test method and

may be used for comparing one tool with another.

NOTE: The declared noise emission value(s) may also be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.5 ENGLISH WARNING: Wear ear protection.

WARNING: The noise emission during actual use of the power tool can di󰀨er from the declared val-

ue(s) depending on the ways in which the tool is used especially what kind of workpiece is processed.

WARNING: Be sure to identify safety measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation

of exposure in the actual conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the

times when the tool is switched o󰀨 and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).

WARNING: Set heavy exible damping mats or such to workpieces (thin sheets of metal or other eas-

ily vibrating structures with a large surface) to prevent them from emitting sound.

Take the increased noise emission into consideration for both the risk assessment of noise exposure and

selecting adequate hearing protection.

SAFETY WARNINGS General power tool safety warnings

WARNING: Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specications provided

with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions

listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or

Save all warnings and instruc-

tions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your

mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated

(cordless) power tool.

Polisher safety warnings

Safety warnings common for polishing operations:

1. This power tool is intended to function as a

polisher. Read all safety warnings, instruc-

tions, illustrations and specications provided

with this power tool. Failure to follow all instruc-

tions listed below may result in electric shock, re

and/or serious injury.

2. Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire

brushing, hole cutting or cutting-o󰀨 are not to

be performed with this power tool. Operations

for which the power tool was not designed may

create a hazard and cause personal injury.

Do not convert this power tool to operate in a way

which is not specically designed and specied by

the tool manufacturer. Such a conversion may result

in a loss of control and cause serious personal injury.

Do not use accessories which are not specically

designed and specied by the tool manufacturer.

Just because the accessory can be attached to your

power tool, it does not assure safe operation.

5. 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 speed can break and y apart.

6. 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.6 ENGLISH

7. The dimensions of the accessory mounting

must t the dimensions of the mounting hard-

ware 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.

8. 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 acces-

sory 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 acces-

sories will normally break apart during this test

9. Wear personal protective equipment.

Depending on application, use face shield,

safety goggles or safety glasses. As appro-

priate, wear dust mask, hearing protectors,

gloves and workshop apron capable of stop-

ping small abrasive or workpiece fragments.

The eye protection must be capable of stopping

ying debris generated by various applications.

The dust mask or respirator must be capable

of ltrating particles generated by the particular

application. Prolonged exposure to high intensity

noise may cause hearing loss.

10. 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 y away and cause injury beyond immediate

11. Position the cord clear of the spinning acces-

sory. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or

snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into

the spinning accessory.

12. Never lay the power tool down until the acces-

sory has come to a complete stop. The spinning

accessory may grab the surface and pull the

power tool out of your control.

13. 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.

14. 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.

15. Do not operate the power tool near ammable

materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

16. 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 acces-

sory. Pinching or snagging causes rapid stalling of the

rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncon-

trolled 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 move-

ment 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 rm grip with both hands on the

power tool and position your body and arms

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.

2. Never place your hand near the rotating acces-

sory. Accessory may kickback over your hand.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade,

segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral

gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade.

Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of

Safety warnings specic for polishing operations:

1. Do not allow any loose portion of the polish-

ing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin

freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attach-

ment strings. Loose and spinning attachment

strings can entangle your ngers or snag on the

Additional Safety Warnings:

1. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

2. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer

for correct mounting and use of accessories.

Handle and store accessories with care.

3. Check that the workpiece is properly

4. If working place is extremely hot and humid,

or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a

short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure opera-
