Denotes risk of personal injury or damage to the tool.

In accordance with essential requirements of the European directive(s).

Read manual before use.

Mandatory use of eye protection.

Electrical products must not be disposed with the domestic waste.

Class II - The machine is double insulated; Earthing wire is therefore not necessary.

Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Keep safety warnings and instructionsPOWX1280 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 5 www.varo.com for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety warnings refers to your mains- operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Keep working area clean and well lit. Untidy and dark areas can lead to accidents. Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive surroundings, for example, in the presence of inflammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders at a distance when operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of it.

5.2 Electrical safety

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use adapter plugs with earthed power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of a lethal electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, kitchen ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of a lethal electric shock if your body is earthed. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. If water gets inside a power tool, it will increase the risk of a lethal electric shock. Do not damage the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of a lethal electric shock. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cable suitable for outdoor use. Using a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a power supply protected by a residual current device (RCD). Using an RCD reduces the risk of a lethal electric shock.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Using safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection whenever it is needed will reduce the risk of personal injury. Avoid accidental starts. Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting the plug. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools when the switch is in the on position makes accidents more likely. Remove any adjusting keys or spanners before turning on the power tool. A spanner or key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury. Do not reach out too far. Keep your feet firmly on the ground at all times. This will enable you retain control over the power tool in unexpected situations. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from the power tool. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can become entangled in the moving parts. If there are devices for connecting dust extraction and collection facilities, please ensure that they are attached and used correctly. Using such devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

5.4 Power tool use and care

Do not expect the power tool to do more than it can. Use the correct power tool for what you want to do. A power tool will achieve better results and be safer if used in the context for which it was designed.POWX1280 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 6 www.varo.com Do not use the power tool if the switch cannot turn it on and off. A power tool with a broken switch is dangerous and must be repaired. Disconnect the plug from the power source before making adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store power tools, when not in use, out of the reach of children and do not allow people who are not familiar with the power tool or these instructions to operate it. Power tools are potentially dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintenance. Check for misalignment or jammed moving parts, breakages or any other feature that might affect the operation of the power tool. If it is damaged, the power tool must be repaired. Many accidents are caused by using poorly maintained power tools. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control. Use the power tool, accessories and cutting tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the working conditions and the work which needs to be done. Using a power tool in ways for which it was not intended can lead to potentially hazardous situations.

Your power tool should be serviced by a qualified specialist using only standard spare parts. This will ensure that it meets the required safety standards.

6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BENCH GRINDERS

The machine is equipped with a three-core power supply cable and a plug with an earth pin. It is therefore essential that it should be plugged into a standard socket, properly earthed and protected upstream against overloads (by a 16 A fuse or a 16 A magneto thermal safety device). If you use an extension cable, make sure it is also three-core with earth. The supply cable is intended for normal conditions of use. It is designed to resist normal mechanical stresses. Do not make loops in the cable or put objects which might damage it on top of it. Also make sure that the cable does not come into contact with any liquid or any source of heat and that it is not used in a damp environment. Do not withdraw the plug from the socket by pulling on the cable. Before any maintenance operation, manipulation or any intervention on the machine (such as assembly, disassembly, adjustment, etc), always disconnect the power supply plug and wait until the machine has come to a standstill. It is compulsory to wear certified gloves and protective goggles when using the device. Never use the machine without its protective guard and “spark guards”. Always check that the work supports are firmly fixed before using the machine. As the wheel wears down, adjust the work support and screen slide: − 1.5 mm between the work support and the wheel; − 2 mm between the slide and the wheel. When using the grinder, stand in a stable, balanced position, without stretching, and keep children at a distance. Never leave the machine running unsupervised. Keep the workshop clean and tidy. Before use, make sure the grinding wheels are not damaged or cracked. If there is the slightest doubt, replace at once (a damaged grinding wheel can fly apart at speed). Replacement grinding wheels must be identical in characteristics and dimensions. This machine is not suitable for grinding soft substances such as lead, magnesium or light alloys.POWX1280 EN Copyright © 2022 VARO P a g e | 7 www.varo.com 7 ASSEMBLY Attention!

8.2 Using the grinder

• Your bench grinder is useful for sharpening tools, e.g. drills, chisels; refacing tools, e.g. removing burrs from tool edges; removing material, however this is not a heavy duty tool and is designed primarily for light home and hobby use.

• The two different types of wheel will allow the grinder to meet various needs.

• Typically, use the coarse grinding wheel for rough cutting, i.e. removing a larger amount of material.

• Use the medium wheel for finishing to leave a smoother surface.

• If the grinder is used on soft metals such as aluminium, the wheel will soon clog and will have to be changed.

• At all times, let the grinder do the work, do not force it or apply excessive pressure to the wheel/cutter.

• Try to use the tool rest for supporting and guiding the workpiece.

• Do not grind using the side cheeks of the grinding wheel as undue pressure on the side of the wheel could cause the wheel to shatter.
