General power tool safety warnings m WARNING! 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. Save all warnings and instructions for future ref- erence. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operat- ed (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Clut- tered or dark areas invite accidents. b) Do not operate power tools in explosive at- mospheres, such as in the presence of am- mable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. c) Keep children and bystanders away while op- erating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a) The connection plug of the electric tool must t into the socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of elec- tric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of elec- tric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Keep your electric tools away from rain and moisture. Water penetrating an electric device increases the risk of an electric shock. d) 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 in- crease the risk of electric shock. e) 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. The machine complies with the applicable EC ma- chinery directive.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and o󰀨. Any power tool that can- not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired. c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjust- ments, changing accessories, or storing pow- er tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil- dren 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. e) Maintain electric tools and accessories with care. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any oth- er condition that may a󰀨ect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool re- paired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools. f) Always keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut- ting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) Use electric tools, accessories and tool at- tachment, etc. according to these instructions. Take into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations di󰀨erent from those intended could result in a hazardous situation. h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected situations.

a) Only have your power tool repaired by quali- ed specialists and only with original spare parts. This ensures that safety of the electric tool is maintained. m WARNING! This power tool generates an electro- magnetic eld during operation. This eld can impair active or passive medical implants under certain circum- stances. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical im- plants consult with their physician and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the power tool. f) 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.

a) 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 inuence of drugs, alcohol or med- ication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. b) Wear personal protective equipment and al- ways safety goggles. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, safety helmet or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the o󰀨-position before connecting to power source and/or rechargeable battery, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites acci- dents. d) Remove any adjusting tools or spanners/keys 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. e) Avoid abnormal postures. Make sure that you have secure footing and always maintain your balance. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and cloth- ing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jew- ellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, en- sure these are connected and properly used. Using a dust extraction unit can reduce hazards caused by dust. h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ig- nore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

4. Power tool use and care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct pow- er tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.www.scheppach.com

The workpiece becomes hot during grinding. Never touch it to the area to be machined and let it cool down su󰀩ciently. Particularly when sanding for a longer pe- riod of time, always interrupt the grinding process and allow the workpiece to cool down before you continue grinding. A continuous operation of 30 minutes should not be exceeded.

• The double grinding machine is designed for dry surface grinding of metal surfaces. The device may only be used for dry grinding.

• Do not machine material containing asbestos. As- bestos is considered carcinogenic. Do not use dam- aged grinding discs.

• Only use grinding discs whose data match the ma- chine's type plate. The orbital velocity should be equal to or greater than the specied number.

• Periodically readjust the protective holders (spark deectors) and protective panels so that the wear of the grinding discs is evened out. Keep the distance as low as possible.

• Avoid contact with the running grinding disc.

• Do not operate the device unattended.

• Never misuse the device.

• Always make sure that the device is switched o󰀨 be- fore inserting the mains plug into the socket.

• Always switch on the device rst and then guide the workpiece against the grinding disc. After machin- ing, lift the workpiece and then switch o󰀨 the device.

• Always hold the workpiece rmly with both hands.

• Make sure that you have a secure footing.

• Allow the grinding disc(s) to come to a complete stop after working on metals.

• Always disconnect the mains plug from the socket during breaks in work, before carrying out any work on the device and when it is not in use.

• Handle the device with care and attention. The device must always be clean, dry and free of oil or grease.

• Remain attentive at all times! Always pay attention to what you are doing and always use common sense. Never use the device when you are not concentrated or feel unwell.

• Grinding discs must be stored in such a way that they are not exposed to mechanical damage and damaging environmental inuences.

• Do not use defective or deformed grinding discs.

• Check the setting of the spark protection frequently and adjust it according to the wear of the grinding disc. Keep the distance between the spark protec- tion and the grinding disc as small as possible (not more than 2 mm). Safety instructions for table-top grinding machines a) Never use damaged tool attachments. Check tool attachments such as grinding discs for chipping and cracks before each use. Once you have checked and used the tool attach- ment, ensure that you and all other persons in the vicinity remain outside the plane of the rotating tool attachment and allow the device to run for 1 min. at the maximum speed. Dam- aged tool attachments usually break during this test period. b) The permissible rotational speed for tool at- tachments must be at least as high as the maximum speed cited on the electric tool. Ac- cessories which rotate faster than the maximum permissible rate can break and throw pieces into the air. c) Never grind on the side surfaces of the grind- ing disc. Grinding on the side surfaces can cause the grinding disc to break and fall apart. m Device-specic safety instructions for bench grinders

• Do not touch the mains cable if it is damaged or cut during operation. Immediately disconnect the mains plug and then have the device repaired exclusively by a specialist or the responsible service centre.

8. Before commissioning

Operating instructions Observe the following points before commissioning the bench grinder:

• Actuate the main switch. Wait until the grinding disc reaches maximum speed. Only then should you start grinding.

• Hold the workpiece rmly on the tool support and move slowly and evenly towards the grinding disc.

• The grinding process can reduce the speed of the grinding disc. Then reduce the pressure slightly until the disc has reached its full speed again. m ATTENTION:

• Small workpieces should be held in place with pliers or a similar tool.

• Only grind on the face of the grinding disc, never on the sides.

• As most materials become hot during grinding, the workpiece must be handled with extreme care.

m Attention! Always make sure the product is fully assembled before commissioning! Switching on/o󰀨

• To switch on, set the ON/OFF switch (8) to the ON position.

• To switch o󰀨, set the ON/OFF switch (8) to the OFF position. Do not start grinding until the device has reached its maximum speed. Working instructions

• Note that the best results are achieved with low pressure of the workpiece on the grinding disc, as then work is done at a constant speed. Excessive pressure on the workpiece brakes the grinding disc or it comes to a standstill, this overloads the engine and does not accelerate the work process.

• For your own safety, always secure small workpiec- es with a bench vice or screw clamp. Sanding

• Place the workpiece on the workpiece support (4) and slowly move it towards the grinding disc (3) at the desired angle until it touches it.
