5. General safety notes for power tools

WARNING: 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.

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.

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.

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 increase 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 reduces the risk of electric shock.

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 a 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 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, ensure 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 power tools allow you to become complacent and ignore power tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.

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 remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing parts of insert tools, 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 and insert tools. 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 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.

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.

Safety notes for all applications- General safety notes for grinding, sanding, working with wire brushes, polishing and cutting by grinding

a) This power tool must be used as a sandpaper grinder. Observe all safety notes, instructions, illustrations and data which are provided together with the tool. Nonobservance oft he following instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or severe injury.
b) This power tool is not suited for grinding, Operations with wire brushes, polishing and cutting by grinding. Using the power tool for applications other than the intended ones may result in risks and injury.
c) Only use accessory parts especially provided for this tool and recommended by the manufacturer. The mere fact that you can mount accessory parts to your power tool does not ensure safe use.
d) The permissible speed of the insertion tool must be at least as high as the maximum speed specified on the power tool. Accessories with a higher speed may break and fly off.
e) The outer diameter and the thickness of the insertion tool must comply with the dimensions specified on your power tool. It is not possible to shield or control insertion tools with different dimensions.
f) Grinding disks, flanges, grinding plates or other accessory parts must exactly mate the grinding spindle of your power tool. Insertion tools which do not exactly mate the grinding spindle of your powertool will perform irregular rotations, cause high vibrations and thus the loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged insertion tools. Prior to each application, you must check insertion tools such as grinding disks for chippings and cracks, grinding plates for cracks, wear or major abrasion, wire brushes for loose or broken wires. If the power tool or insertion tool falls down, you must check it for damages, or use an undamaged insertion tool. After you have checked and inserted the insertion tool, both you and persons in the vicinity must stay out of the level of the rotating insertion tool, and the tool must be operated at maximum speed for one minute. Most of the damaged insertion tools will break within this test period.

h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on the application of the power tool, you must wear a full face shield, eye protection or goggles. If appropriate, you must wear a dust mask, hearing protection, protective gloves or a special apron which protects you against small grinding chips and material particles. Protect your eyes against foreign objects which fly off du ring different operations. The purpose of dust masks and breathing equipment is to filter the dust generated during the operation. Long-term exposure to high noise pollution may cause hearing loss.
i) Make sure that other persons stay a safe distance away from your working area. Persons accessing your working area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of the work piece or broken insertion tools may fly off and cause injury even outside the direct working area.
j) Always hold the tool by its insulated handles when the insertion tool may come into contact with hidden power lines or with the power cord of the power tool. Contact with live lines may energise metal tool parts and cause electric shock.
k) Keep the power cord away from rotating insertion tools. If you lose control of the power tool, the power cord may be cut or trapped, and your hand or arm may get into the path of the rotating insertion tool.
I) Never put aside the power tool before the complete halt of the insertion tool. Rotating insertion tools may get in contact with the place of deposit thus causing the loss of control of the tool.
m) Switch of the power tool while you carry it around. Your clothes may be trapped when unintentionally getting in contact with the rotating insertion tool and the insertion tool may penetrate your body.
n) The ventilation slots of your power tool must be cleaned on a regular basis. The motor fan sucks in dust, and the accumulation of metal dust may cause electrical risks.
o) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of inflammable materials. Sparks may ignite these materials.
p) Do not use insertion tools which require liquid coolants. Using water or other liquid coolants may cause electric shock.

Further safety notes for all applications - kickback and corresponding safety notes

A kickback is the sudden reaction caused by rotating insertion tools such as a grinding disk, grinding plate, wire brush, etc. which has got caught or which blocks.

Getting caught or blocking results in the immediate stop of the rotating insertion tool.

This accelerates the uncontrolled power tool against the rotary direction of the insertion tool.

If for example a grinding disk gets caught or blocks in the work piece, the edge of the grinding disk which penetrates the work piece may get caught, the grinding disk will make a sudden movement or cause a kickback. As a result, the grinding disk moves towards the operator or away from the operator, depending on the rotary direction of the disk when it blocks. This may also cause the fracture of grinding disks.

Kickbacks are the result of the improper or incorrect use of power tools. Kickbacks can be avoided when observing the following precautionary measures.

a) Hold the power tool firmly in your hands and bring your body and arms in a position which allows you to adequately react to kickback forces. Always use the additional handle, if available. This ensures you the utmost control of kickback forces or reaction torques when starting your power tool. When taking appropriate precautions, the operator is in the position to control kickback and reaction forces.
b) Keep your hands away from rotating insertion tools. The insertion tool may move over your hand in the event of a kickback.
c) Keep your body away from the area where the power tool may move in the event of a kickback. Kickbacks always move the power tool in opposite direction to the movement of the grinding disk at the spot where it blocks.
d) Corners, sharp edges, etc. must be processed with special care. Make sure that the insertion tool does not bounce back or get trapped on the work piece. The rotating insertion tool tends to jam in corners, at sharp edges or when it bounces back. This may cause the loss of control or a kickback.

Additional safety notes regarding grinding with sandpaper-Special safety notes regarding grinding with sandpaper

a) Do not use oversized abrasive sheets; always observe the manufacturer's specifications for abrasive sheet dimensions. Abrasive sheets protruding the grinding plate may cause injury or result in the blocking or tearing apart of the abrasive sheet or in kickbacks.

Additional safety notes

a) Connect a vacuum cleaner to the supplied adapter before starting your operations.
b) Attention! Keep away grinding dust from open fire. Dust may be explosive.
c) Always wear goggles and a dust mask when grinding, in particular during overhead work and when processing critical materials! When grinding certain materials (e.g. lead paint, certain types of wood and metal) harmful or noxious dust may be generated. Touching or breathing in such dust may imply risks for the operator or people in the vicinity.
