General Safety Directions for Power Tools

WARNING! READ ALL SAFETY DIRECTIONS AND INSTRUC

TIONS. Omissions in the compliance with safety directions and instructions can cause electrical shock, fire and/or severe injuries.

Retain all safety directions and instructions for future use.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) Work area safety :

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in

explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety :

CAUTION! The following states how to avoid accidents and injuries due to electric shock:

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock
b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock. Use a circuit breaker with a current limit of 30mA or less.
3) Personal safety:

CAUTION! The following states how to avoid accidents and injuries:

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention white operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care :

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjust -ments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may af

fect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) CAREFUL HANDLING AND USE OF BATTERY DEVICES
a) Charge the batteries only in chargers that are recommended by the manufacturer. Risk of fire if a charger that is suitable for a specific type of battery is used with other batteries.
b) In the power tools, use only the batteries designed for the purpose. The use of other batteries may result in injuries and risk of fire.
c) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws and other small metal objects, which could cause bridging of the contacts. A short circuit between the battery contacts may cause burns or fire.
d) If used incorrectly, liquid may leak from the battery. Avoid contact with this. In the event of accidental contact, rinse off with water. If the liquid gets into eyes, seek medical assistance. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritations or burns.

6) SERVICE

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.

This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

7) SPECIAL SAFETY DIRECTIONS FOR BATTERY-OPERATED TOOLS

a) Ensure that the device is switched off before inserting the battery. Inserting a battery into a power tool that is switched on may result in accidents.
b) Recharge the batteries indoors only because the battery charger is designed for indoor use only.
c) To reduce the electric shock hazard, unplug the battery charger from the mains before cleaning the charger.
d) Do not subject the battery to strong sunlight over long periods and do not leave it on a heater. Heat damages the battery and there is a risk of explosion.
e) Allow a hot battery to cool before charging.
f) Do not open up the battery and avoid mechanical damage to the battery. Risk of short circuit and fumes may be emitted that irritate the respiratory tract. Ensure fresh air and seek medical assistance in the event of discomfort.
g) Do not use non-rechargeable batteries!
8) CORRECT HANDLING OF THE BATTERY CHARGER

Safety instructions for all applications

Common safety instructions for grinding, sanding, working with wire brushes and cutting grinders:

• This electric tool is to be used as a grinder, sander, wire brush and cutting grinder. Follow all safety instructions, directives, illustrations and facts which you receive with the device. If you do not follow these instructions, an electrical shock, fire and/or serious injury may occur.
• This electric tool is not suitable for cup brushes. Using the electric tool in ways for which it is not intended may cause hazards and injuries.
• This electric tool is not suitable for cup wheels, mounted points or grinding cones. Using the electric tool in ways for which it is not intended may cause hazards and injuries.
• This electric tool is not suitable for polishing. Using the electric tool in ways for which it is not intended may cause hazards and injuries.
• Do not use any accessories that are not specifically intended and recommended for this electric tool by the manufacturer. Simply because an accessory can be attached to your electric tool does not guarantee

safe operation.

• The allowable rotation speed of the attachment tools must be at least as high as the highest rotation speed indicated on the electric tool. Accessories that run faster than the allowable speed can break and fly apart.
• The outside diameter and thickness of the attachment tool must correspond to the dimensions indicated for your electric tool. Attachment tools which are wrongly dimensioned cannot be sufficiently shielded or controlled.
• Attachment tools with threaded attachment must fit the threading of the grinding spindle exactly. For attachment tools which are mounted through a flange, the diameter of the hole in the attachment tool must fit the mounting diameter of the flange. Attachment tools which cannot be precisely attached to the electric tool turn unevenly, vibrate very strongly and can ultimately lead to a loss of control.
• Never use damaged attachment tools. Check attachment tools such as grinding discs for chipping or cracks, grinding plates for cracks, wear or strong abrasion and wire brushes for loose or broken wires before using them. If the electric tool or the attachment tool falls off, check whether it is damaged or, use an undamaged attachment tool. If you have checked the attachment tool and attached it, keep yourself and any nearby persons beyond the level of the rotating attachment tool and allow the device to run for 1 min.

at the highest rotational speed.

Damaged tools usually break during this test period.

• Wear personal safety equipment. Depending on the application, use full face shields, eye protection or safety goggles. In so far as it is appropriate, wear dust masks, ear protection, gloves or special aprons which keep small grinding and material particles away from you. Eyes should be protected from the foreign matter which can be caused to fly during the various applications. Dust or breathing masks should filter the dust that is created during operation. If you are exposed to loud noise for a long time, you may suffer hearing loss.
• Ensure that other people are at a safe distance to your working area. Anyone who enters the working area should wear personal protective equipment. Broken bits from the piece being worked or broken attachment tools can fly away and cause injuries even beyond the direct working area.
• Hold the electric tool only by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work in which the cutting tool may come into contact with hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a live wire can also cause a charge in metal parts of the device and result in an electric shock.
• Keep the cord away from the rotating attachment tool. If you lose control of the device, the power cord can become separated or caught and your hand or arm may be pulled into the rotating attachment tool.
• Never put the electric tool down

before the attachment tool has come to a full stop. The rotating attachment tool can come into contact with the surface upon which it is set, whereby you could lose control of the electric tool.

• Never allow the electric tool to run whilst you are carrying it. Your clothing may accidentally come into contact with the rotating attachment tool and get caught and the attachment tool could drill into your body.
• Clean the ventilation slots of your electric tool routinely. The motor air pulls dust into the housing and, should too much metallic dust collect, could cause electrical hazards.
• Never use the electric tool near flammable material. Sparks could ignite this material.
• Do not use attachment tools which require liquid coolant. Using water or another liquid coolant could lead to electrical shock.

Additional safety instructions

• Connect the appliance only to a power socket with a residual current circuit breaker of rated residual current no more than 30mA .
• Keep power cords and extension cords away from the disc. If they are damaged or cut through, immediately pull the plug from the outlet. Do not touch the cable before it has been disconnected from the power supply.

Risk of electric shock!

• The replacement of the plug or the connection line must always be executed by the manufacturer of the electric tool or his/her customer service in order to avoid any hazards.
• Only use grinding discs where the in

dicated rotational speed is at least as high as what has been specified on the name plate of the device.

• Carry out a visual inspection of the grinding disc before use. Do not use any damaged or deformed grinding discs. Replace any damaged or worn grinding discs.
• Make sure that the sparks produced by grinding do not present a danger, e.g. reach people or ignite flammable substances.
  Always wear safety goggles, safety gloves, respiratory protection and ear protection when grinding, brushing and cutting.
• Never keep the fingers between the grinding disc and spark protection or in close proximity to the protective hoods. There is a risk of crushing.
• The rotating parts of the device cannot be covered due to functional reasons. Therefore, proceed cautiously and hold the workpiece firmly in order to avoid slipping which could cause your hands to come into contact with the grinding disc.
• The workpiece gets hot during grinding. Do not touch the machined area, allow it to cool down. There is a risk of burning. Do not use coolants or the like.
  If you are tired or have consumed alcohol or tablets, do not work with the device. Always have a break on time.
• Turn off the appliance and, before doing any servicing, remove the battery.

RESIDUAL RISKS

Even if properly operating and handling this electric tool, some residual risks will remain. Due to its construction and build, this electric tool may present the following hazards:

a) Cuts
b) Ear damage if working without ear pro

tection.

c) Damage to your health caused by swinging your hands and arms when operating the appliance for longer periods of time or if the unit is not held or maintained properly.
d) Health injuries which result from swinging hand and arm, in the event that the device is used over a longer period of time or is not used and maintained properly.

Warning! During operation, this electric tool generates an electromagnetic field which, under certain circumstances, may impair the functionality of active or passive medical implants. To reduce the risk of serious or lethal injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult their doctor and the manufacturer of their medical implant before operating the machine.

Kickback

Kickback is the sudden reaction from a chopp ing or blocked grinder attachment such as a grinding disc, grinding plate, wire brush etc. Chopping or blocking leads to sudden stopping of the rotating attachment. This causes an uncontrolled electric tool to accelerate in a direction counter to the rotational direction of the attachment tool. If, for example, a grinding disc cuts into the workpiece or blocks it, the edge of the grinding disc that digs into the workpiece can get caught and, through that, break off the grinding disc or cause a kickback. The grinding disc then moves towards or away from the operator, depending on the direction of rotation of the disc at the blocked spot. Here, the grinding discs can also break. A kickback is caused by wrongly or incorrectly operating the electric tool. It can be avoided by suitable cautionary measures,

such as described below.

a) Hold the electric tool very

firmly and bring your body and your arm into a position in which you can resist the kickback force. Always use the supplemental handle if available to give you the best control over kickback force or reaction time during acceleration. The operator can master the kickback and reaction force through suitable precautions.
b) Never bring your hands near a rotating attachment tool. The attachment tool can run over your hand in the kickback.
c) Keep your body away from the area in which the electric tool would move during a kickback. The kickback drives the electric tool in the counter-direction to the rotation of the grinding disc at the blocked spot.
d) Work particularly cautiously in corner areas or where there are sharp corners etc. Prevent the attachment tools from recoiling from the workpiece and jamming. The rotating attachment tool tends to jam when near corners, sharp edges or when it recoils from such. This causes a loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not use chain or toothed saw blades. Such attachment tools frequently cause a kickback or loss of control over the electric tool.

Special safety instructions for grinding and cutting

a) Use only grinders which have been approved for your electric tool and the protective hood intended for these grinders. Grinders which are not intended for the elec

tric tool may not be sufficiently shielded and are unsafe.

b) Depressed centre grinding wheels must be pre-mounted in such a way that their grinding surface does not protrude over the level of the edge of the protective cover. An incorrectly mounted grinding wheel which protrudes beyond the level of the edge of the protective cover cannot be adequately shielded.
c) The protective hood must be securely attached to the electric tool and adjusted so that the greatest level of safety is reached, i.e., the smallest possible amount of the grinder is exposed to the operator. The protective hood should protect the operator from broken bits and accidental contact with the grinder.
d) Grinders may only be used for the recommended attachment options. For example: Never grind with the side surface of a cutting disc. Cutting discs are for cutting material using the edge of the disc. Pushing sideways on these grinders can break them.
e) Always use undamaged clamping flanges of the correct size and shape for the grinding disc you selected. Suitable flanges support the grinding disc and thus reduce the danger of the grinding disc breaking. Flanges for cutting discs can be distinguished from flanges for other grinding discs.
f) Do not use worn grinding discs for larger electric tools. Grinding discs for larger electric tools are not set up for the higher rotation speeds of

smaller electric tools and can break.

Other special safety instructions for cutting grinding

a) Avoid blocking the cutting disc or pressing down too hard. Do not make any excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting disc increases wear and its tendency to tilt or block and, with that, to kickback or break the grinder.
b) Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotating cutting disc. When you move the cutting disc by itself in the workpiece, in the event that the electric tool kicks back with the rotating disc, it can spin directly towards you.
c) If the cutting disc jams, or you interrupt your work, switch the device off and hold it until the disc has come to a full stop. Never try to pull the cutting disc out of the cut while it is still running, because it can kick back. Identify and correct the cause of the jamming.
d) Do not switch the electric tool on again as long as it is in the workpiece. Allow the cutting disc to first reach its full rotational speed before you carefully resume with the cutting. Otherwise, the disc may catch, spring away from the workpiece or cause a kickback.
e) Support plates or workpieces to reduce the risk of kickback from a jammed cutting disc. Large workpieces may bend under their own weight. The workpiece must be supported on both sides of the disc, near the cutting disc as well as also at the edge.
f) Be particularly careful for pocket

cuts in existing walls or other areas where you cannot see what is there. The cutting disc may cause a kickback when it cuts into gas or water lines, electrical lines or other hidden objects.

Additional safety instructions for sanding

Special safety instructions for sanding:

• Do not use overly large sandpaper sheets; follow the manufacturer's information for sandpaper sizes. Sandpaper sheets which extend beyond the sanding plate can cause injuries and can block, tear the sandpaper, or cause kickback.

Additional safety instructions for working with wire brushes

Special safety instructions for working with wire brushes:

• Be aware that the wire brushes also lose wire pieces during typical use. Do not overload the wires by pressing down too hard. Flying wire pieces can very easily penetrate thin clothing and/or your skin.
• If a protective hood is recommended, do not allow the wire brushes and the protective hood to touch each other. The diameter of plate and cup brushes can enlarge if too much pressure and centrifugal force is exerted.

Charging the battery

Do not expose the battery to extreme conditions such as heat or impact. Risk of injury from escaping electrolytic solution! After eye/skin contact, rinse the affected areas with water or a neutraliser and consult a doctor.

Charge the battery in a dry room only.

Prior to attaching the charger, check that the battery's outer surface is clean and dry.

There is a risk of injury due to electric shock.

Only use the original charger from the package to charge the battery. Mind not to charge the appliance for more than 1 hours at a time. If you do, the battery and the appliance may be damaged and longer charging times would be a waste of energy. Excessive charging will void the warranty.

Make sure that the power supply voltage matches the voltage rating indicated on the device's type plate.

• Charge the battery before the first time of use. Do not briefly charge the battery several time in a row.
• Recharge the battery when you notice that the appliance is becoming slower.
• If a fully recharged battery lasts for considerably shorter operating times, the battery is used up and needs to be replaced. Only use an OEM spare battery available from our Customer Service.

Practical tips

Scrubbing wheels:

Never use a cutting wheel for scrubbing!

Exert only moderate pressure on the workpiece. Move the device evenly back and forth.

A working angle of 30^ to 40^ achieves the best results for scrub grinding.

Cutting disc:

Never use a scrubbing wheel for cutting!

Only certified, fibre-reinforced cutting or grinding discs may be used.

In general, work with small scrubs. Exert only moderate pressure on the workpiece.

Always work in the counter-direction. This ensures that the device is not pushed out of the cut through lack of control.

Cutting of stone materials:

• It is best to use a diamond cutting disc to cut stone materials. Make sure in any case that the cutting disc is suitable and labelled for your application.
