plane of the guard lip cannot be adequately
protected.
c) The guard must be securely attached
to the power tool and positioned for
maximum safety, so the least amount of
wheel is exposed towards the operator.
The guard helps to protect operator from
broken wheel fragments and accidental
contact with wheel and sparks that could
ignite clothing.
d) Wheels must be used only for recom-
mended applications. for example: do
not grind with the side of cut-off wheel.
Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to
these wheels may cause them to shatter.
e) Always use undamaged wheel flanges
that are of correct size and shape for
your selected wheel. Proper wheel
flanges support the wheel thus reduc-
ing the possibility of wheel breakage.
Flanges for cut-off wheels may be different
from grinding wheel flanges.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool
to a power source be sure that the voltage
supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool.
▪
A power source with a voltage greater than
that specified for the tool can result in seri-
ous injury to the user, as well as damage to
the tool.
▪
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
▪
Using a power source with a voltage less than
the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Always wear eye and ear pro-
tection and use a dust mask. The dust and abra-
sive particles separated during operation may
seriously injure your health.
▪
When operating in dusty environment, the
ventilation slots must be kept clean. If it
should become necessary to clear dust,
first disconnect the tool from the mains
supply (use non metallic objects to clean
the dust) and avoid damaging internal
parts. The power tool will overheat under de-
teriorated cooling due to the clogged with dust
ventilation slots.
▪
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cut-
ting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
Original instructions
"live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
WARNING: Always switch off and
unplug the power tool prior to any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance.
▪
Never switch on the grinder under load, and
leave it down only after final rotation stop.
▪
Always keep the cord away from the working
area of the cup wheel.
▪
Fasten the cup wheel only by a special
wrench, using the original base support wash-
er and lock nut.
▪
Do not use damaged cup wheels.
WARNING: The grinding accessory
continues rotation even after the machine is
switched off.
▪
Never apply side pressure to stop the cup
wheel rotation after switching off the grinder.
▪
The outer metal parts and the bits may get hot
after continuous operation.
▪
Use clamps or a vice to secure your work
whenever possible.
▪
Always switch off the machine and wait until
the spindle has come to a complete standstill
before placing it down.
▪
Do not force the machine: let the tool do the
work at a reasonable speed. Overloading will
occur if too much pressure is applied and the
motor slows resulting in inefficient work and
possible damage to the motor.
▪
Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
▪
Remove any nails, screws, etc. from the proc-
essed surface.
▪
Before using the tool on an actual work piece,
switch on and let it run for a while. Operate
the tool at least 200 mm away from your face
and body.
▪
Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
▪
Hold the power tool firmly.
▪
Keep your hands away from rotating parts. Do
not touch the bit or the work piece immedi-
ately after operation - they may be extremely
hot and you may get serious burns.
▪
The tool must be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any use other than those mentioned
in this Manual will be considered a case of
misuse. The user and not the manufacturer
shall be liable for any damage or injury result-
