WARNING: The vibration emission level will vary

because of the ways in which a power tool can be used and may increase above the level given in this information sheet. The vibration emission level may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. An accurate estimate of the vibratory load shouldalso take into account the times when the tool isshut down or when it is running but not actually inuse. This may signicantly reduce the vibrato

ryload over the total working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect theope

rator from the eects of vibration such as:maintain the tool and the accessories, keep thehands warm, organisation of work patterns.

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions.Failure to follow the warningsand instructions may result in electric shock, re and/or serious injury. Save all war- nings and instructions for future reference. The term „power tool“ in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (cordepower tool orbattery-operated (cordless) power tool.

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

spheres, such as in the presence ofammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite thedust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while ope

rating a power tool.Distractions cancause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do notuse any adapter plugs with earthed (groundepower tools. Unmodied plugs andmatching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,ranges and refri

gerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body isearthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con

ditions. Water entering a power toolwill increase the risk of electric shock. d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging thepower tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damagedor entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable foroutdoor 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 currentdevice (RCprotected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating apower tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inuence ofdrugs, alcohol or medi

cation. A moment of inattention while operating power toolsmay result in serious personal injury. b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protectiveequipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protectionused for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o-position beforeconnecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that havethe switch on invites accidents. d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrenchor a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing andD

balance at all times. This enables bettercontrol of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothingand gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelle

ry or long hair can becaught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collectionfacilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection canreduce dust-related hazards.

4) Power tool use and care

wer tool for your application. Thecorrect 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 o. Any power toolthat 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 thepower tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storingpower tools. Such pre

ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the powertool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of child

ren and do not allow personsunfamiliar 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 aect the power tool’soperation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidentsare caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharpcutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with theseinstructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to beperformed.

Additional Safety and Working Instructions Brushes must not be tted to machines whose speed exceeds the maximum permitted brush speed. Do not use damaged brushes. Rust discoloration or other signs of chemical or mechanical change to the brush material can cause premature failure of the brush. Bushes must be stored in suitable stands, containers or boxes in such a way that they are protected from the following eects:

• High air humidity, heat, water or other uids that could cause damage to the brush

• Acids or acidic fumes that could cause damage

• Temperatures that are so low that they could cause condensation to form on the brushes when taken out of storage into an area with higher tempera

• Deformation of any part of the brush Mains Connection Operation is only allowed with a safety switch against stray current (RCD max. stray current of 30mA). Connect only to single-phase AC system voltage as indicated on the rating plate. It is also possible to connect to sockets without an earthing contact as the design conforms to safety class II. Only plug-in when machine is switched o. Maintenance Unplug the machine before any work on it. The appliance must not be used if damaged or safety equipment is defective.
