5. Safety instructions

WARNING Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to follow all the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE ALL THE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.

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

a) Work area safety

• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
• 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.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

b) Electrical safety

• 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.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.

c) Personal safety

• 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 while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• 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.
• 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.

d) Power tool use and care

• 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.
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before marking any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• 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.

e) 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.

f) Safety warning for angle grinder

• Check that the ventilation slots are not blocked.
  • Always secure the item to be worked with cramps or the like. Never hold the item to be worked by hand.
  • Always use the correct type of grinding disc for the type of work to be performed.
• Never use discs with a Maximum RPM less than that of the tool.
• Never use oversized discs.
• Never use damaged or worn discs, or discs that cannot be easily fitted to the grinder spindle. Never use an adapter ring or the like to fit discs with holes that are too large for the grinder spindle.
• Never place your hand or fingers near the disc while the grinder is running.
• Keep the power cable well clear of the working area.
• Keep the handles and the grinder as a whole free of oil, grease, water and other liquids.
• Never put the grinder down until the disc has completely stopped rotating.
• Do not touch the item to be worked or metal filings until they have cooled.
• Do not use the grinder to work items made of magnesium.

Permissible grinding tools

• The permissible maximum rpm or cutting speed of the abrasive bodies used must comply with the details in the table below.
• Therefore please observe the permissible rpm or peripheral speed on the label of the abrasive body.
  • Always use the intermediate layers enclosed with the abrasive bodies: they are positioned between the abrasive body and the clamping flange and must be at least the same size as the contact surfaces of the flanges.
• When using abrasive bodies with threaded inserts, it must be ensured that the end of the spindle never touches the perforated plate of the grinding tool.
• Abrasive bodies with threaded insert must be able to be screwed onto the grinding spindle far enough that they firmly fit the grinding spindle flange at the end of the grinding spindle thread.

Fitting the abrading disc

Risk of injury! Never use damaged abrading discs. Always check the abrading disc for cracks or other damage before fitting it. Use only abrading discs whose permitted rotational speed is at least as high as the idling speed of the appliance.

Risk of injury! The permitted diameter for the abrading disc must always be complied with. Risk of injury! Use only abrading discs which are permitted for the material being worked with.

• See figure C.
- Press the spindle locking button on the top of the tool and keep it pressed.
- Unscrew flange nut (7).
- Place the abrading disc onto the spindle. Comply with the required installation position of the abrading disc.
- Place the flange nut onto the spindle.
• Note the installation position of the flange nut:
