General safety instructions for power tools

WARNING: Read all the safety instructions and other instructions. Failure to follow the safety instructions and other instructions can result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury. Save all the safety instructions and other instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in the safety instructions refers to your mains-powered (corded) or battery-powered (cordless) power tool.

Safety in the work area

• Keep the work area clean and well lit. Dark and cluttered work areas increase the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Do not use power tools in explosive environments, such as in the vicinity of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools produce sparks that can ignite dust and fumes.
• Keep children and onlookers at a safe distance when working with a power tool. You can lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

Electrical safety

• The mains plug on the power tool must match the mains socket. Never modify the plug in any way. Never use adapters with earthed power tools. Intact plugs and matching outlets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or moisture. There is a greater risk of electric shock if water gets into a power tool.
• Be careful with the power cord. Never use the power cord to carry or pull the power tool, or to pull out the plug from the mains. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or tangled power cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When you use a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord intended for outdoor use. Extension cords approved for outdoor use reduce the risk of electric shock.
• If you have to use a power tool in damp conditions, use a mains connection protected by a residual current device RCD. Using an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• Stay alert, pay attention to what you are doing, and use your common sense when working with power tools. Never use power tools if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention when using a power tool can result in serious personal injury.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear safety glasses. The correct use of safety equipment such as a dust filter mask, non-slip safety shoes, helmets and ear protection, reduces the risk of personal injury.
• Avoid accidental starting. Check that the power switch is in the OFF position before connecting to the mains, or lifting/carrying the tool. Carrying a power tool with your finger on the switch, or connecting a tool to the mains when the switch is in the ON position, increases the risk of accidents and injuries.
• Remove all Allan keys/spanners etc. before starting the tool. A forgotten spanner in a rotating part of the power tool can result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm footing and good balance. This will ensure you have better control over the tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose-fitting clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose-fitting clothing, jewellery and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
• If dust extraction and dust collection equipment is available, this should be connected and used correctly. The use of such devices can reduce the risk of dust-related problems.

Using and looking after power tools

- Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for the planned work. The correct power tool functions better and more safely when used with the load for which it was designed.

- Do not use the power tool if it cannot be switched on and off with the power switch. Power tools that cannot be controlled with the power switch are dangerous and must be repaired.

- Unplug the plug from the mains and/or remove the battery from the power tool before making any adjustments, replacing accessories or putting the tool away. These safety precautions reduce the risk of accidentally starting the power tool.

- Store power tools out of the reach of children when not in use. Never allow anyone who is unfamiliar with the power tool and these instructions to use the tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of inexperienced users.

- Keep the power tool properly maintained. Check that moving parts are not misaligned, jammed or loose, and that there are no other factors that could affect the safe use of the tool. If the power tool is damaged, it must be repaired before being used again. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

• Make sure that cutting tools are 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 bits etc., in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the actual working conditions and the work that is to be done. Using the power tool for anything other than its intended purpose can lead to dangerous situations.

Service

Make sure that the power tool is serviced by qualified technicians that only use the specified spare parts. This will ensure that the power tool remains safe to use.

Safety instructions for angle grinders

The safety instructions apply to all types of grinding.

• This power tool is intended to be used as a grinder. Read all the safety instructions, other instructions, illustrations and specifications supplied with this power tool. Failure to follow all the instructions below can result in the risk of electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.
• This power tool can be used for grinding and steel brushing. Using the tool for any other purposes can be dangerous and cause personal injury.
• This power tool is not intended to be used for polishing.
• Do not use accessories that are not specifically designed for the tool and recommended by the tool manufacturer. Just because a tool can be fitted to the power tool does not mean that it is safe to use.
• The rated speed of the accessory must be the same as the specified maximum speed for the power tool. Accessories that are run faster than the specified rated speed can break, or shatter.
• The outer diameter and thickness of the accessory must lie within the performance rating of the power tool. It is not possible to protect and control accessories of the wrong size properly.

• Thread unions on accessories must match the spindle thread on the grinder. For flanged accessories the spindle hole must match the centering diameter of the flange. Accessories that do not fit the tool properly will rotate out of balance, vibrate excessively and can cause you to lose control of the tool.

• Do not use damaged accessories. Always check an accessory before using it, for example, make sure that grinding discs are not chipped, that backing discs are not cracked or worn, and that steel brushes do not have loose or damaged wires. If you drop the power tool or an accessory, check that it is not damaged. Fit a new accessory if necessary. After checking and fitting an accessory, position yourself and other persons in the vicinity away from the direction of rotation of the accessory and then run the tool at maximum speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally break during this test period.

• Always use personal safety equipment. Depending on the application, you must use a face mask or safety glasses, or safety goggles. When necessary you must use a dust filter mask, hearing protection, gloves and a workshop apron that can stop small grinding and workpiece fragments. The eye protection must be able to stop flying debris produced by the tool during different applications. The dust filter mask or breathing mask must be able to filter the particles produced by the tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise can cause hearing impairment.
• Make sure that onlookers stay at a safe distance from the work area. All persons that enter the work area must wear personal safety equipment. Fragments from the workpiece, or from a defective accessory, can fly off and cause personal injury beyond the actual work area.
• If there is a risk of coming into contact with concealed electric cables or the power cord on the tool, make sure to only hold the tool by the insulated grips. When cutting accessories come into contract with a live cable, unprotected metal parts on the tool can conduct the current and give the user an electric shock.
• Position the power cord so that it will not come into contact with the rotating accessory. If you lose control, the power cord can be cut off, or fasten, and your hand or arm could be pulled into the rotating accessory.
• Never put down the power tool until the accessory has completely stopped. The rotating accessory can catch on the surface and cause you to lose control of the tool.
• Do not run the power tool while carrying it by your side. Unintentional contact with the rotating accessory can cause it to catch in your clothes and pull the tool towards your body.
• Check the ventilation grilles on the tool at regular intervals. The fan on the motor pulls dust inside the tool casing and a large accumulation of metal powder can put the electrical safety at risk.
• Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of flammable materials. Sparks can ignite such materials.
• Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. The use of water or other liquid coolants can cause an electric shock.

Other safety instructions for all applications – kickback and related warnings

Kickback is a sudden reaction caused by a rotating disc, supporting disc, a brush or other accessory, jamming or catching on something. This causes the rotating accessory to suddenly stop, which in turn can force the uncontrolled power tool in the opposite direction to the rotating accessory.

If, for example, a grinding disc is pinched or clenched in the workpiece the edge of the disc can dig into the surface of the material and cause the disc to kick up. The disc can either kick towards or away from the user, depending on the direction of rotation of the disc at the pinch point. Grinding discs can also break or shatter in such circumstances.

Kickback is caused by using the power tool incorrectly and/or a result of incorrect work procedures or working conditions. Kickback can be avoided by taking the following precautions:

1. Keep a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms so that you can withstand the force of a potential kickback. Always use the support handle, if there is one, for maximum control of kickback or the torque response when starting the tool. The user can control torque responses and kickback forces if suitable precautions are taken.
2. Never place your hands near the rotating accessory. Kickback can cause the accessory to touch your hand.
3. Do not place your body within the area where the tool will move if kickback occurs. Kickback forces the tool in the opposite direction to the rotation of the disc at the pinch point.
4. Take extra care when working on corners and sharp edges, etc. Avoid jerking the accessory, or letting it catch. Corners, sharp edges and jerking can cause the rotating accessory to get caught and cause you to lose control of the tool, or cause kickback.
5. Do not connect a saw chain blade for wood carving, or a toothed saw blade. These types of blades often cause kickback and loss of control.

Special safety instructions for grinding and abrasive cutting

• Only use the types of discs recommended for your power tool and the special guard designed for the selected disc. Discs that the tool is not designed for cannot be protected properly and are therefore not safe to use.
• The grinding surface on discs with recessed centres must be fitted below the level of the guard flange. An incorrectly fitted disc that sticks out past the level of the guard flange cannot be properly protected.
• The guard must be properly fixed to the tool and positioned for maximum safety, so that the minimum possible part of the disc is exposed to the user. The guard helps to protect the user from broken off fragments of the disc, unintentional contact with the disc, and sparks that can burn clothing.
• Discs must only be used for the recommended applications. For example: Do not grind with the side of a cutting disc. Abrasive cutting discs are intended for grinding with the outer edges. The application of lateral tensions to these discs can cause them to shatter.
• Always use the right size and shape of undamaged disc flanges for the disc you have chosen. Correct disc flanges support the disc, reducing the risk of the disc breaking. Flanges for cutting discs can differ from flanges for grinding discs.
• Do not use worn discs from larger power tools. Discs from larger tools are not suitable for the higher speed of small tools and can crack.

Safety instructions for bonded grinding discs

Grinding discs can break and are sensitive to knocks and pressure. Special care must therefore be taken when handling grinding discs:

1. Do not drop grinding discs or expose them to knocks.
2. Do not use damaged grinding discs or discs that have been dropped.
3. Avoid damaging the centre hole.
4. Do not expose grinding discs to pressure; do not put anything on top of them.
5. Store grinding discs flat, or vertically, in a dry and frost-free area.
6. If possible store grinding discs in their original pack, or in special containers or on special shelves.

Vibration and noise damping

To minimise the effects of noise and vibration you should limit the time the tool is used, use positions for low vibration and low noise, and use personal safety equipment. Pay attention to the following to minimise the risk of exposure to vibration and high noise levels:

1. Only use the power tool for the purpose for which it was designed, and in accordance with these instructions.

2. Make sure that the tool is in good condition and well maintained.

3. Always use the correct accessories for the tool and make sure they are in good condition.

4. Keep a firm grip on the handles/grips.
5. Maintain the power tool in accordance with these instructions and make sure that it is well lubricated (where appropriate).
6. Plan the work so that you spread the use of the tool with high vibration levels over a longer period of time.

Emergency situations

Familiarise yourself with how to use this power tool with the help of these instructions. Pay close attention to all the safety instructions, and apply them in all circumstances. This will enable you to avoid risks and dangerous situations.

• Always pay attention when using this power tool, so that you detect and handle risks at an early stage. Quick action can prevent serious personal injury and material damage.
• Switch off the power tool and unplug it from the mains in the event of a fault. Make sure that the power tool is checked by a qualified technician and if necessary repaired before using it again.

Additional risks

Even if you use this power tool in accordance with all the safety instructions there are still risks of personal injury and material damage. The following risks can occur as a result of the inherent design of this power tool:

• Harmful effects on health as a result of vibrations if the power tool is used for long periods, or is not handled and maintained properly.
