4.1 General safety instructions for routing

and grinding: a) This power tool is designed for surface routing or grinding. 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. b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing, polishing, hole cutting or cutting-off 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 convert this power tool to operate in a way which is not specifically designed and specified by the tool manufacturer. Such a conversion may result in a loss of control and cause serious personal injury. d) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and specified by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation. e) 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 fly apart. f) 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. g)The dimensions of the accessory mounting must fit the dimensions of the mounting hardware 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. h) 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.

i) 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

1. Declaration of Conformity

3. General safety instructions

capable of stopping flying debris generated by various applications. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by the particular application. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss. j) 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. k) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock. l) 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. m) 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. n) 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. o) 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. p) Do not operate the power tool near flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials. q) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.

4.2 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 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. a) Maintain a firm 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. 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, segmented diamond wheel with a peripheral gap greater than 10 mm or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control.

4.3 Safety Warnings Specific for Routing

Operations: a) Use only routing tools that are recommended for your power tool and the specific guard designed for these routing tools. Routing tools that are not designed for use with the power tool cannot be guarded properly and are unsafe. b) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned so as to minimise exposure of the routing body to the operator and thus maximise safety. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken fragments, accidental contact with the routing body and sparks that could ignite clothing. c) Do not work on surfaces with exposed steel reinforcements or similar. Doing so may result in kickback or loss of control over the power tool. d) Before commissioning, check that the routing wheels can move freely. Clean these, if necessary. e) Do not use damaged routing wheels. f) Exercise particular caution when working on corners, edges and ledges. There is a risk here of kickback or damaging the router. g) Routing wheels have sharp edges and may be very hot after use. Caution! Risk of injury.

4.4 Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding

with Diamond Cup Wheels: a) 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. b) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safety, so the least amount of wheel is exposedENGLISH en

towards the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken fragments, accidental contact with the wheel and sparks that could ignite clothing. c) Wheels must be used only for recommended applications. d) Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are the correct size and shape for your selected accessories. The correct flanges support the accessories.

4.5 Additional Safety Instructions

WARNING – Always wear protective goggles. Wear a suitable dust protection mask. Wear ear protectors. WARNING – Always operate the power tool with two hands. Use elastic cushioning layers if they have been supplied with the sanding media and if required. Observe the specifications of the accessory manufacturer! Protect the accessories from grease and physical impact. Accessories must be stored and handled with care in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. The workpiece must lay flat and be secured against slipping, e.g. using clamps. Large workpieces must be supported adequately. If accessories with threaded inserts are used, the end of the spindle may not touch the base of the hole on the grinding tool. Make sure that the thread in the accessory is long enough to accommodate the full length of the spindle. The thread in the accessory must match the thread on the spindle. See page 3 and chapter 15. Technical Specifications for more information on the spindle length and thread. Impurities that manage to enter the machine may block the switching mechanism. This is why, when the machine is running, it is necessary to blow compressed air through the rear ventilation slots of the machine regularly, frequently and thoroughly. The machine must be held firmly in this case. Damaged, eccentric or vibrating tools must not be used. Avoid damage to gas or water pipes, electrical cables and load-bearing walls (building structure). Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, converting or servicing the machine. A damaged or cracked side handle must be replaced. Never operate the machine with a defective additional handle. A damaged or cracked safety guard must be replaced. Never operate a machine with a defective safety guard. Only use accessories that are surmounted by brushes of the safety guard. Only use the guard supplied: The wrong guard can lead to loss of control, insufficient shielding, increased risk from dust exposure and serious injury. Use authorised tools only. Reducing dust exposure: WARNING - Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: - Lead from lead-based paints, - Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and - Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. This also applies to dust from other materials such as some timber types (like oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g. allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let dust enter the body. Observe the relevant guidelines and national regulations for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal). Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area. Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner. Use a suitable extraction unit. Reduce dust exposure with the following measures: - do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits, - use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers, - ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust. - Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush. See page 2. 1 Bar auxiliary handle * 2 Thumb screws of the bar auxiliary handle *
