USER MANUAL BEWS 18125X AEG

For other applications, e.g. Abrasive Cutting-O Operations or Wire Brushing other vibration values could occur. WARNING for Vibration! The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for dierent applications, with dierent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may dier. This may signicantly increase the exposure level over the total working period. An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched o or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns. WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.20

Safety Warnings Common for Grinding, Sanding, Wire Brushing or Abrasive Cutting-O Operations: a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-o tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. b) Operations such as polishing are not recommended to be performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury. c) Do not use accessories which are not specically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation. d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool. Accesso- ries running faster than their rated speed can break and y apart. e) 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. f) Threaded mounting of accessories must match the grin- der spindle thread. For accessories mounted by anges, the arbour hole of the accessory must t the locating diameter of the ange. Accessories that do not match the mounting hard- ware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control. g) 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. h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on 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 ying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of ltrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area.

Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protec- tive equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may y away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation. j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock. k) 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. l) 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. m) 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. n) Do not operate the power tool near ammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials. o) 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 accessory. Pinching or snag- ging 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 opera- ting procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. a) Maintain a rm 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 reactions or kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.21

English b) Never place your hand near the rotating accessory. Accessory may kickback over your hand. c) 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. d) 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. e) Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control. Safety Warnings Specic for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting- O Operations: a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specic guard designed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe. b) The grinding surface of the centre depressed wheels must be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improperly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately protected. c) 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 the operator from broken wheel fragments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing. d) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-o wheel. Abrasive cut-o wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter. e) Always use undamaged wheel anges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel anges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-o wheels may be dierent from grinding wheel anges. f) 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 Warnings Specic for Abrasive Cutting- O Operations: a) Do not “jam” the cut-o 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. b) Do not position your body in line with and behind the rotating 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. c) When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for any reason, switch o the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-o 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. d) Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece. Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the power tool is restarted in the workpiece. e) Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel. f) 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 Specic for Sanding Operations: a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper. Follow manufacturers recommendations, when selecting sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback. Safety Warnings Specic for Wire Brushing Operations: a) 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. b) 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 Safety and Working Instructions Always check the spindle lock button in fully released before swit- ching on the tool! After using the spindle lock to tighten / loosen the abrasive disk, it is possible that the button may stick in the lock position. Whilst it may cause the tool or battery protection to operate and remove power to the tool. Turn o the switch, remove the battery then carefully rock the disk back and forth to release the spindle lock button. Note: If the battery protection has also activated, simply remove the battery pack from the tool and replace it, thus resetting the protection. When grinding metal, ying sparks are produced. Take care that no persons are endangered. Because of the danger of re, no combustible materials should be located in the vicinity (spark ight zone). Do not use dust extraction. Avoid ying sparks and sanding dust hit your body. Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running. Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running. Immediately switch o the machine in case of considerable vibra- tions or if other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to nd out the cause. Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with the arbour and vulcanized bre grinding disk), signicant contamina- tion can build up on the inside of the angle grinder. Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - danger of short circuit! WARNING! To reduce the risk of re, personal injury, and product damage due to a short circuit, never immerse your tool, battery pack or charger in uid or allow a uid to ow inside them. Corrosive or conductive uids, such as seawater, certain industrial chemicals, and bleach or bleach containing products, etc., Can cause a short circuit. Never break open battery packs and chargers and store only in dry rooms. Keep dry at all times.22

English Use only System GBS chargers for charging System GBS battery packs. Do not use battery packs from other systems. RESIDUAL RISK Even when the angle grinder is used as prescribed, it is still impossible to completely eliminate certain residual risk factors. The following hazards may arise and the operator should pay special attention to avoid the following: Injury caused by thrown-o particles. Metal or abrasive particles may enter the eyes and cause severe permanent damage. Wear goggles approved for grinding operations whenever you use the product Injury caused by vibration. Limit exposure. See WARNING for Vibration! Injury caused by dust. Wear appropriate dust control mask with lters suitable for protecting against particles from the material being worked on and abrasive particles from the grinding disc. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Ensure adequate ventilation. Injury from contact with the grinding disc. The disc and workpiece will become hot during use. Wear gloves when changing discs or touching workpiece. Keep hands away from the grinding area at all times. Clamp the workpiece whenever possible. Injury caused by noise. Prolonged exposure to noise will increase the risk of hearing damage, and the eects are cumulative. When using power tools for any extended period of time, wear hearing protection. Injuries may be caused or aggravated by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.
