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

1) Keep work area clean and well

lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2) 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.

3) Keep children and bystanders

away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Electrical safety

1) 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.

2) 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.

3) Do not expose power tools to rain or

wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

4) 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.40 GB/IE

5) 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.

6) 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. Personal safety

1) 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.

2) 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.

3) 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.

4) 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.

5) Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

6) 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.

7) 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.41GB/IE Power tool use and care

1) 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.

2) 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.

3) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

4) 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.

5) 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.

6) Keep cutting tools sharp and

clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

7) 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. Battery tool use and care

1) Recharge only with the charger

specified by the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another battery pack.

2) Use power tools only with

specifically designated battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of injury and fire.42 GB/IE

3) When battery pack is not in use,

keep it away from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, that can make a connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

4) Under abusive conditions, liquid

may be ejected from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns. Service

1) 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. Grinder safety warnings

WARNING! u Dust from materials such as lead paint, some types of wood, and metal can be harmful to your health. u Contact with or inhaling this type of dust can present a danger to the user or persons nearby.

WARNING! Wear safety glasses and a dust mask! Angle grinder warnings Safety warnings common for grinding, wire brushing and abrasive cutting-off

1) This power tool is intended for use as

a grinder, wire brush and abrasive cutting machine. Follow all safety instructions, instructions for use, illustrations and data included with the device. Failure to heed the following instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

2) Operations such as sanding and

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.

3) Do not use accessories which

are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.43GB/IE

4) 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.

5) 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) Threaded mounting of accessories

must match the grinder spindle thread. For accessories mounted by flanges, the arbour size hole of the accessory must fit the locating diameter of the flange. 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.

7) 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 1 minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test time.

8) 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 flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.44 GB/IE

9) 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.

10) Hold the power tool by insulated

gripping surfaces only, when performing an operation where the cutting tool may contact hidden wiring. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

11) 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.

12) 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.

13) 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.

14) Do not operate the power tool near

flammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.

15) Do not use accessories that require

liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock. Further safety instructions for all operations – 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.45GB/IE

1) Maintain a firm 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.

2) Never place your hand near the

rotating accessory. 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 or toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback and loss of control. Specific safety instructions for grinding and abrasive cutting

1) 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.

2) The grinding surface of 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.

3) 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.

4) Wheels must be used only for

recommended applications. For example: do not grind with the side of cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them to shatter.46 GB/IE

5) Always use undamaged wheel

flanges that are of correct size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibility of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel flanges.

6) 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 specific for abrasive cutting-off operations

1) Do not “jam” the cut-off 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.

2) 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.

3) When wheel is binding or when

interrupting a cut for any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off 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.

4) 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.

5) 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.

6) 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.47GB/IE Additional safety instructions for wire brushing operations – Safety warnings specific for wire brushing operations

1) 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.

2) 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 angle grinder warnings

1) Only use grinding wheels where the indicated

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

2) Carry out a visual inspection of the cutting or

grinding wheel before use. Do not use any damaged or deformed wheels. Replace any damaged or worn wheels.

3) Make sure that the sparks produced by

grinding do not present a danger, e.g. reach people or ignite flammable substances.

4) Always wear safety goggles, safety gloves,

respiratory protection and ear protection when grinding.

5) Never keep the fingers between the wheel

and spark protection or in close proximity to the protective hoods. There is a risk of crushing.

6) The rotating parts of the product 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 cutting or grinding wheel.

7) 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.

8) Do not work with the product, if you are tired

or have consumed alcohol or tablets. Always have a break on time.

9) Turn off the product and, before doing any

servicing, remove the battery pack.
