5. General safety instructions
⚠ WARNING - Read all safety information, instructions, illustrations and technical data for this product.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” used in the safety instructions refers to mains-powered electrical tools (with a mains cable) and battery-powered electrical tools (without a mains cable).
Electrical safety
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
4) Do not use the cable for another purpose, for example, carrying or hanging the power tool or pulling the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving device parts. Damaged or coiled cables increase the risk of an electric shock.
5) If you work with an electric tool outdoors, only use extension cables that are also permitted for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
6) 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.
Personal safety
1) Always remain attentive, pay attention to what you are doing and be sensible when working with electric tools. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of carelessness when using electrical tools can result in serious injuries.
2) Wear personal protective equipment and always safety goggles. Protective equipment such as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
3) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to power source and/or rechargeable battery, picking up or carrying the tool. Keeping your finger on the switch when carrying the electric tool or having the device already switched on when connecting it to the power supply may result in accidents.
4) Remove any adjusting key or screwdriver before turning the power tool on. A tool or spanner that is located in a rotating device part may result in injuries.
5) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
6) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
7) If dust extraction and collection devices can be mounted, make sure that they are connected and used properly. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
8) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
Power tool use and care
1) Do not overload the device. 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.
2) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any electric tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3) Remove the plug from the socket and/or remove the battery before setting the device, changing accessories or putting the device away. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
4) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and Do not let people use the electric tool who are not familiar with it or who have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5) Maintain power tools. Check whether moving parts function properly and do not get stuck and whether parts are broken or are damaged and thus adversely affect the electric tool function. Have damaged parts repaired before using the device. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
6) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
7) 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.
8) 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.
Using and handling the rechargeable tool
1) Only charge the batteries in battery chargers recommended by the manufacturer. A battery charger that is suitable for a particular type of battery poses a fire hazard when used with other batteries.
2) Only use the batteries in power tools that are designed for them. The use of other batteries can lead to injuries and a risk of fire.
3) Keep the unused battery away from paper clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects that could cause a short-circuit between the contacts. A short-circuit between the contacts of the battery could result in burns or fires.
4) Liquid may leak from the battery if used incorrectly. Avoid contact with it. In case of accidental contact, rinse with water. If the liquid gets into your eyes, seek additional medical attention. Leaking battery fluid may cause skin irritation or burns.
5) Protect the battery from heat, e.g. also from continuous sunlight, fire, water and moisture. There is a risk of explosion.
Service
1) 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.
Safety instructions for grinding machines ⚠ WARNING!
Dusts from materials such as paint containing lead, some types of wood and metal can be harmful to health.
⚠ WARNING!

Safety instructions for all applications
Common safety instructions for grinding, sandpaper grinding, working with wire brushes, polishing, milling or cut-off grinding.
1) This electric tool can be used as a grinder, sandpaper grinder, wire brush, polisher, for milling and as a cut-off grinder. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
2) 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.
3) The maximum speed of the accessory tool used must be at least as high as the maximum speed specified for the power tool. Accessories which rotate faster than the maximum permissible rate can break and throw pieces into the air.
4) 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.
5) Grinding discs, grinding rollers or other accessories must fit exactly on the grinding spindle or collet of your electric tool. Tool attachments that do not fit exactly on your electrical tool's receptacle rotate unevenly, vibrate very strongly and can cause a loss of control.
6) Wheels/discs, grinding cylinders, cutting tools or other accessories mounted on a work arbor must be fully inserted into the collet or clamping chuck. The “protrusion” or the exposed part of the work arbor between the grinding body and the collet or clamping chuck must be minimal. If the work arbor is not sufficiently tensioned or the grinding body is too far forward, the tool attachment can come loose and be ejected at high speed.
7) Never use damaged accessory tools. Before each use, check insert tools such as grinding discs for chipping and cracks, grinding rollers for cracks, wear or heavy wear, 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 people 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 tool attachments usually break during this test period.
8) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. Where appropriate, wear a dust mask, hearing protection, protective gloves or a special apron that will keep small grinding and material particles away from you. The eye protection must be capable of stopping flying debris generated by various operations. Dust or breathing masks must filter the dust generated during use. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
9) Ensure that other people remain at a safe distance from your workspace. Anyone who enters the workspace must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond immediate area of operation.
10) When performing work during which the insert tool can meet with concealed power lines or its own mains cable, only hold the electric tool by the insulated gripping surfaces. Contact with a live wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool live and could give the operator an electric shock.
11) Always hold the electric tool firmly when starting it. When running up to full speed, the reaction torque of the motor can cause the electric tool to turn.
12) If possible, use clamps to hold the workpiece in place. Never hold a small workpiece in one hand and the electric tool in the other while using it. By clamping small workpieces, you have both hands free for better control of the electric tool. When cutting round workpieces such as wooden dowels, bar stock or pipes, they tend to roll away, causing the tool attachment to jam and be flung towards you.
13) Keep the USB charging cable away from rotating tool attachments. If you lose control of the device, the cable can be severed or caught and your hand or arm pulled into the rotating tool attachment.
14) 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.
15) After changing tool attachments or adjustments to the device, tighten the collet nut, clamping chuck or other fasteners securely. Loose fasteners can shift unexpectedly and cause loss of control; unattached rotating components will be thrown out violently.
16) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental contact of your clothing with the rotating attachment part could lead to an injury.
17) 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.
18) Never use the power tool in the vicinity of inflammable materials. Sparks can ignite such materials.
Further safety instructions for all applications Kick-back and corresponding safety instructions Kick-back is the sudden reaction resulting from a caught or jammed rotating tool attachment, such as a grinding disc, grinding belt, wire brush, etc. Catching or jamming results in the rotating tool attachment stopping abruptly. As a result, an uncontrolled electric tool is accelerated against the direction of rotation of the tool attachment.
For example, if a grinding disc catches or jams in the workpiece, the edge of the grinding disc that plunges into the workpiece can get caught, causing the grinding disc to break away or kick back. The wheel may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also break under these conditions. Kickback is the result of incorrect or deficient use of the electrical tool. It can be prevented by suitable precautionary measures, as described in the following.
1) Hold the power tool firmly in both hands and position your body and arms so they can absorb the force of a kickback. The operator can control the kick-back forces by taking appropriate precautionary measures.
2) 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 tool attachment tends to jam at corners, sharp edges or when it bounces back. This causes a loss of control or kick-back.
3) Do not use a serrated saw blade. Such accessories often cause a kickback or loss of control over the power tool.
4) Always guide the tool attachment into the material in the same direction in which the cutting edge leaves the material (corresponds to the same direction in which the chips are ejected). Guiding the electric tool in the wrong direction causes the cutting edge of the tool attachment to break out of the workpiece, pulling the electric tool in that feed direction.
5) Always clamp the workpiece firmly when using rotary files, cutting wheels, high-speed milling tools or carbide milling tools. Even with slight canting in the groove, these tool attachments get caught and can cause a kick-back. If a cutting wheel gets caught, it usually breaks. If rotary files, high-speed milling tools or carbide milling tools get caught, the tool insert may jump out of the groove and cause loss of control of the electric tool.
Additional safety instructions for grinding and cut-off grinding
Special safety instructions for grinding and cut-off grinding
1) Only use the grinding bodies approved for your electric tool and only for the recommended uses. Example: Never grind on the side surfaces of a cutting wheel. Cutting wheels are designed to remove material with the edge of the disc. Lateral forces on this grinding body can break it.
2) For tapered and straight threaded grinding pencils, use only undamaged work arbors of the correct size and length, without undercutting at the shoulder. Suitable work arbors prevent the possibility of breakage.
3) Avoid blocking the cutting wheel or applying too much pressure. Do not make excessively deep cuts. Overloading the cutting wheel increases its stress and susceptibility to tilting or blocking and therefore the possibility of kick-back or breaking of the grinding wheel.
4) Avoid the area in front of and behind the rotating cutting wheel with your hand. If you move the cutting wheel in the workpiece away from your hand, in the event of a kick-back the power tool with the spinning wheel can be thrown directly towards you.
5) If the cutting wheel jams or you interrupt your work, switch the device off and hold it still in the material until the disc has come to a standstill. Never try to pull the cutting wheel out of the cut while it is still running, otherwise kick-back may occur. Determine and remedy the cause of the jamming.
6) Do not switch the electric tool on again while it is in the workpiece. Allow the cutting wheel to reach its full speed first before carefully continuing the cut. Otherwise the disc can get stuck, jump out of the workpiece or cause kick-back.
7) Support plates or large workpieces to reduce the risk of kick-back caused by a jammed cutting wheel. Large workpieces tend to sag under their own weight. The workpiece must be supported on both sides of the disc, that is both close to the separating cut and at the edge.
8) Apply particular caution with "plunge cuts" in existing walls or other areas that are not visible. The plunging cutting wheel can cause kickback when cutting into gas or water pipes, electrical lines or other objects.
Additional safety instructions for working with wire brushes
Special safety instructions for working with wire brushes
1) Note that the wire brush loses pieces of wire even during normal use. Do not overtax the wires by applying too much contact pressure. Pieces of wire that fly off can easily penetrate thin clothing and/or the skin.
2) Run brushes at working speed for at least 1 minute before use. Make sure that no other person is in front of or in line with the brush during this time. During the running-in period, loose pieces of wire may fly away.
3) Point the rotating wire brush away from you. When working with these brushes, small particles and tiny pieces of wire can fly away at high speed and penetrate the skin.

11. Working instructions
NOTE!
Observe the information on the correct protrusion (see "Selecting a suitable tool attachment").
The maximum diameter of compound grinding bodies, grinding cones and grinding pencils is 55 mm and must not be exceeded.
The maximum diameter for sandpaper grinding accessories is 80 mm and must not be exceeded.
The maximum permitted length of a mandrel is 33 mm.
Sanding
⚠ WARNING!
Never use a cutting wheel for grinding!
- Hold the product at an angle of 10 to 15^ for easy handling and a good grinding result.
- For maximum grinding efficiency: Hold the grinding disc with a light, even pressure on the work surface. It should never be necessary to operate the product with increased force. The weight of the product creates enough pressure.
- Too much pressure overloads the motor, slows down the grinding process, exerts dangerous pressure on the grinding disc and causes damage.
- Move the product back and forth evenly.
Wire brushes
⚠ Warning!
Do not use a brush that is damaged or imbalanced. Using a damaged brush can increase the likelihood of injury from contact with broken brush wires.
- Avoid applying too much pressure as this will overbend the wires and cause premature damage.
• Work at a moderate feed rate according to the material to be machined.
- Avoid bouncing and breaking the wire brush, especially when working on corners, sharp edges, etc. This can lead to loss of control and kick-back.
Cut-off grinding
⚠ WARNING!
Never use roughing wheels for cutting!
- Only tested, fibre-reinforced cutting or grinding discs may be used.
• Always work at a low feed rate. Only apply moderate pressure to the workpiece.
• Always work in counter-rotation so that the product is not pressed out of the cut in an uncontrolled manner.
