General Power Tool Safety Warnings

⚠ WARNING!

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.

1. Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) 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.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) 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.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 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 crease the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, only use an extension cable 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 reduces the risk of electric shock.

3. Personal safety

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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. 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 dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions 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 finger 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 balance 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, clothing and gloves 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, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

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 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 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.

d) 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.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. 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.

5. Service

a) 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.

b) Always arrange for the replacement of the plug or the power cord to be carried out by the manufacturer of the appliance or by his approved customer services. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety instructions for all applications Safety instructions for polishing

a) This power tool is to be used as a grinder and abrasive cutting appliance. Please follow all safety instructions, instructions, diagrams and data that you receive with the appliance. If you do not observe the following instructions, this can lead to an electrical shock, fire and/or serious injuries.

b) This power tool is not suitable for sandpaper sanding, working with a steel brush or burnishing. Using the power tool for applications for which it is not designed can lead to hazards and injuries.
c) Do not use any accessories that have not been specifically provided or recommended by the manufacturer for this power tool. Just because you can attach the accessories to your power tool does not guarantee they are safe to use.
d) The maximum speed of the accessory tool used must be at least as high as the maximum speed specified for the power tool. Accessories that rotate faster than the permissible rate can break and throw pieces into the air.
e) The external diameter and thickness of the accessory tool used must comply with the dimensions of the power tool. Incorrectly dimensioned accessory tools cannot be sufficiently shielded or controlled.
f) Attachment tools with a thread insert must match the thread of the grinding spindle exactly. For attachment tools that are mounted using a flange, the diameter of the hole on the attachment tool must correspond to the width of the fitment on the flange. Accessory tools that do not exactly fit on the grinding spindle rotate unevenly, vibrate severely and can lead to a loss of control.
g) Never use damaged accessory tools. Check accessory tools such as grinding discs before each use for chips or cracks, grinding plates for cracks, wearing or excessive wear and tear and wire brushes for loose or broken wires. If the power tool or the accessory tool in use is dropped, check to see if it is damaged or use an undamaged accessory tool. When you have checked and inserted the accessory tool, ensure that you and any other persons in the vicinity remain outside of the level of the rotating accessory tool and allow the tool to rotate at maximum speed for one minute. Damaged accessories usually break during the test period.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application, ensure that you use full face protection, eye protection or goggles. Use a dust mask, hearing protection, protective gloves or special apron that protect you from grindings and material particles as required. Protected your eyes from flying debris that may be created during certain applications. Dust or filter masks must be used to filter any dust created by the application. If you are exposed to loud noise for any length of time, you may suffer hearing loss.
i) Ensure that other people remain at a safe distance to your workspace. Anyone who enters the workspace must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the workpiece or broken accessory tools can fly off and cause injury – even outside the immediate working area.

j) Hold the power tool only by the insulated handles when you are carrying out work in which the accessory tool may come into contact with concealed power cables or the tool's own power cord. Contact with a live cable can also make metal parts of the appliance live and could result in an electric shock.
k) Keep the power cord away from any rotating accessories. If you lose control of the appliance, the cord may get caught or cut and your hand or arm could get caught in the rotating accessory tool.
1) Never put the power tool down until the accessory tool being used has come to a complete standstill. The rotating accessory tool can come into contact with the surface and cause you to lose control of the power tool.
m) Do not leave the power tool running whilst carrying it. Accidental contact between your clothing and the rotating accessory tool could lead to physical injury.
n) Clean the ventilation slits of your power tool regularly. The engine fan draws dust into the housing and a strong accumulation of metal dust can cause electrical hazards.
o) Never use the power tool in the vicinity of inflammable materials. Sparks can ignite these materials.
p) Do not use any accessory tools which require liquid coolant. The use of water or other liquid coolants may lead to electric shock.

Kickback and corresponding safety instructions Kickback is a sudden reaction caused when a rotating accessory tool, e.g. grinding disc, grinding plate, wire brush, etc., catches or jams. Catching or jamming leads to an abrupt stop of the rotating accessory tool. If this happens, an uncontrolled power tool turns rapidly against the direction of rotation of the accessory tool caught in the blockage.

If, for example, a grinding disc catches or jams in a workpiece, the edge of the grinding disc projecting into the workpiece can get caught and break off the grinding disc or cause a kickback. The grinding disc can then fly in the direction of the operator or away from him, depending on the direction of rotation of the disc at the blockage. This can also break grinding discs.

A kickback is caused by incorrect use or misuse of the power tool. This can be avoided by taking proper precautions as described below.

a) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and position your body and arms so they can absorb the force of a kickback. Always use the additional handle, if available, so that you have the maximum possible control over the kickback force or reaction forces at full speed. By taking adequate precautions, the operator can stay in control of the kickback and reaction torques.
b) Never hold your hand close to a rotating accessory tool. The accessory tool could hit your hand in the event of a kickback.

c) Avoid having any part of your body in the region in which the power tool is likely to move in event of a kickback. The kickback will force the power tool in the opposite direction to the direction of rotation of the grinding disc at the blockage.
d) Take special care when working near corners, sharp edges, etc. Avoid allowing the accessory tool to bounce back from the workpiece or jam. The rotating accessory tool is more likely to jam in corners or sharp edges or if it rebounds off them. This can cause a loss of control or kickback.
e) Do not use chains or toothed saw blades. Such accessories often cause a kickback or loss of control over the power tool.

Safety Warnings Specific for Polishing Operations:

- Do not allow any loose portion of the polishing bonnet or its attachment strings to spin freely. Tuck away or trim any loose attachment strings.

Loose and spinning attachment strings can entangle your fingers or snag on the workpiece.
