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) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate condi- tions will reduce personal injuries. c) 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 nger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. d) 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. e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal- ance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations. f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery 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. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards. h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of the tool allow you to become complacent and ignore 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 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 off. 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 ad- justments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool acciden- tally. Please note that our equipment has not been de- signed for use in commercial, trade or industri- al applications. Our warranty will be voided if the equipment is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for equivalent purposes.

m WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustra- tions and technical data provided with this pow- er 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” used in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or bat- tery-operated (cordless) power tool.

a) Keep your working 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 cre- ate 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) 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. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. b) Avoid body contact with earthed or ground- ed surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet con- ditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of 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. f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduc- es the risk of electric shock. www.scheppach.com / [e-mail] / +(49)-08223-4002-99 / +(49)-08223-4002-58

e) The outside diameter and the thickness of the insertion tool must correspond to the dimen- sions of the power tool. Incorrectly measured insertion tools cannot be adequately shielded or controlled. f) Threaded mounting of insertion tools must match the grinder spindle thread. For inser- tion tools mounted by anges, the arbour hole of the insertion tool must t the locating diameter of the ange. Insertion tools, which do not t exactly on the grinding spindle of the power tool, rotate unevenly, vibrate violently and may re- sult in loss of control. g) Do not use a damaged insertion tool. Before each use, inspect the insertion tool such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, back- ing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power tool or insertion tool is dropped, inspect for dam- age or install an undamaged insertion tool. After inspecting and installing the tool, posi- tion yourself and bystanders away from the plane of the rotating insertion tool and run the power tool at maximum speed for one minute. Damaged insertion tools usually break during this test time. h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depend- ing on application, use full face protection, eye protection or safety goggles. As appro- priate, wear dust mask, hearing protection, protective gloves and/or workshop apron ca- pable of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be capable of stopping ying debris generated by various op- erations. The dust mask or respirator must be ca- pable of ltrating particles generated by your oper- ation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.

i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from

your work area. Anyone entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or of broken insertion tools may y away and cause injury even beyond the immediate work area. j) 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. k) Position the cord clear of the rotating inser- tion tool. If you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your hand or arm may be pulled into the rotating insertion tool. 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 oper- ate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. e) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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 main- tained power tools. f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control. g) 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. 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 power tool in un- expected situations.

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied repair person using only identical replace- ment parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained. Safety warnings common for grinding, sanding, wire brushing, or abrasive cutting-off operations: a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder or cut-off tool. Read all safety warn- ings, instructions, illustrations and data pro- vided with this power tool. If you do not observe the following instructions, an electric shock, re and/or serious injuries may occur. b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing polishing or hole cutting are not recommend- ed to be performed with this power tool. Oper- ations for which the power tool was not designed may create a hazard and cause personal injury. c) Do not use insertion tools which are not spe- cically 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 permitted speed of the insertion tool must be at least equal to the maximum speed indicated on the power tool. An insertion tool which rotates faster than permitted may shatter and y off. www.scheppach.com / [e-mail] / +(49)-08223-4002-99 / +(49)-08223-4002-58

d) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the insertion tool. Corners, sharp edges or bounc- ing have a tendency to snag the rotating insertion tool and cause loss of control or kickback. e) Do not attach a saw chain blade for wood-cut- ting, a segmented diamond saw blade with a segment distance of more than 10 mm or a toothed saw blade. Such insertion tools create frequent kickback and loss of control. Safety warnings specic for grinding and abrasive cutting-off operations: a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool and the specic guard de- signed for the selected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not designed cannot be ade- quately shielded and are unsafe. b) Depressed centre grinding wheels must be mounted in such a way that their grinding sur- face does not protrude above the plane of the guard edge. An improperly mounted wheel that protrudes above the plane of the guard edge can- not be adequately shielded. c) The guard must be securely attached to the power tool and positioned for maximum safe- ty, so the least amount of wheel is exposed to- wards the operator. The guard helps to protect the operator from broken wheel fragments, acci- dental 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 a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off 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-off wheels may be different from grinding wheel anges. f) Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools. Wheels intended for larger pow- er tool are not suitable for the higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst. g) When using wheels for a dual purpose, always choose the appropriate guard for the applica- tion being carried out. Failure to use the proper guard may result in ineffective shielding and in serious injuries. l) Never lay the power tool down until the inser- tion tool has come to a complete stop. The ro- tating insertion tool may grab the surface and pull the power tool out of your control. m) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact with the rotating in- sertion tool could snag your clothing, pulling the insertion tool into your body. n) 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. o) Do not operate the power tool near ammable materials. Sparks could ignite these materials. p) Do not use insertion tools that require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may result in electric shock. Kickback and related safety warnings Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating insertion tool, such as a grinding wheel, grinding pad, brush wire, etc. Pinching or snagging causes the rotating insertion tool to stop abruptly which in turn causes the uncontrolled power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the inser- tion tool’s rotation at the point of the binding. For example, if a grinding wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece, the edge of the grinding wheel which is entering into the workpiece may be- come caught causing the grinding wheel to break off or kick back. The grinding wheel then either jumps toward or away from the operator, depending on the direction of the wheels’ movement at the point of pinching. Grinding wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or in- correct operating procedures or conditions. It can be avoided by taking proper precautions as given below. a) Maintain a rm grip on the power tool and po- sition your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maximum control over kick- back 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 inser- tion tool. Insertion tool may kickback over your hand. c) Do not position your body in the area where power tool will move if kickback occurs. Kick- back will propel the tool in the direction opposite to the wheel’s movement at the point of snagging. www.scheppach.com / [e-mail] / +(49)-08223-4002-99 / +(49)-08223-4002-58

it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced wheel.

6. Use the specied surface of the wheel to perform

7. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

8. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after op-

eration; it may be extremely hot and could burn your skin.

9. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer for

correct mounting and use of wheels. Handle and store wheels with care.

10. Do not use separate reducing bushings or adap-

tors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.

11. Use only anges specied for this tool.

12. For tools intended to be tted with threaded hole

wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel is long enough to accept the spindle length.

13. Check that the workpiece is properly supported.

14. Pay attention that the wheel continues to rotate

after the tool is switched off.

15. If working place is extremely hot and humid, or

badly polluted by conductive dust, use a shortcir- cuit breaker (30 mA) to assure operator safety.

17. When use cut-off wheel, always work with the

dust collecting wheel guard required by domestic regulation.

18. Cutting wheels must not be subjected to any lat-

eral pressure. m WARNING This electric tool generates an electromagnetic eld during operation. This eld can impair ac- tive or passive medical implants under certain conditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly injuries, we recommend that persons with medical implants consult with their physi- cian and the manufacturer of the medical implant prior to operating the electric tool. Information on the rechargeable battery Please observe the operating manual for the re- chargeable batteries. Information on the charging unit and charging process Please observe the operating manual for the charg- ing unit. Additional safety warnings specic for abrasive cutting-off operations: a) Do not “jam” the cut-off wheel or apply ex- cessive 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 possibil- ity of kickback or wheel breakage. b) Do not position your body in line with and be- hind 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 off the power tool and hold the power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a complete stop. Never at- tempt to remove the cut-off wheel from the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kick- back 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 kick- back. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed un- der 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 kick- back. g) Do not make curved cuts. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and susceptibility to twisting and binding of the wheel in the cut and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage, which can lead to serious injuries.

6. Additional Safety Warnings

1. When using depressed centre grinding wheels,

be sure to use only berglass-reinforced wheels.

2. Never use Stone Cup type wheels with this grind-

er. This grinder is not designed for these types of wheels and the use of such a product may result in serious personal injury.

3. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the ange

(especially the installing surface) or the lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in wheel breakage.

4. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the work-

piece before the switch is turned on. www.scheppach.com / [e-mail] / +(49)-08223-4002-99 / +(49)-08223-4002-58
