WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and
limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear
protection, stop using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted
and provides the correct level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by
your tool.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness,
tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long-term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If
necessary, limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do
not operate the tool with hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will
have a greater effect. Use the figures provided in the specification relating to vibration to
calculate the duration and frequency of operating the tool.
Sound and vibration levels in the specification are determined according to EN60745
or similar international standards. The figures represent normal use for the tool in
normal working conditions. A poorly maintained, incorrectly assembled, or misused tool,
may produce increased levels of noise and vibration. www.osha.europa.eu provides
information on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that may be useful to domestic
users who use tools for long periods of time.
Carefully read and understand this manual and any label attached to the tool before use.
Keep these instructions with the product for future reference. Ensure all persons who use
this product are fully acquainted with this manual. Even when used as prescribed it is not
possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. Use with caution. If you are at all unsure of the

General Safety

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.
WARNING: This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced, physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by
a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the appliance.
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 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.
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 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.
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.
Grinder Safety
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder, sander, wire brush or cut-
off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications
provided with the power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as polishing are not recommended to be performed with this
power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a
hazard and cause personal injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended
by the tool manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your
power tool it does not assure safe operation.
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum
speed marked on the power tool. Accessories running faster than their rated
speed can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within
the capacity rating of your power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbor size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must
properly fit on the spindle of your power tool. Accessories with arbor holes that
do not match the mounting hardware of the power tool will run out of balance,
vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory
such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or
excess wear, wire brush, wire, wire brush for loose or cracked wires. If power
tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an undamaged
accessory. After inspecting and installing an accessory, position yourself and
bystanders away from the plane of the rotating accessory and run the power
tool at maximum no-load speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will
normally break apart during this test time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application, use
faceshield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate, wear dust mask,
hearing protectors, gloves and workshop apron capable of stopping small
abrasive or workpiece fragments. Eye protection must be capable of stopping
flying debris generated by various operations. The dust mask or respirator must be
capable of filtrating particles generated by your operation. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from the work area. Anyone entering
the work area must wear personal protective equipment. Fragments of
workpiece or of a broken accessory may fly away and cause injury beyond
immediate area of operation.
j) Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, when performing an
operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Cutting accessory contacting a 'live' wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool 'live' and could give the operator an electric shock.
