TYROLIT
Maintain a firm grip on the power tool and position
your body and arm to allow you to resist kickback forc-
es. Always use auxiliary handle, if provided, for maxi-
mum control over kickback or torque reaction during
start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or kick-
back forces, if proper precautions are taken.
Never place your hand near the rotating accessory.
Accessory may kickback over your hand.
Do not position your body in the area where power tool
will move if kickback occurs. Kickback will propel the tool
in direction opposite to the wheel's movement at the point
of snagging.
Use special care when working corners, sharp edges
etc. Avoid bouncing and snagging the accessory. Cor-
ners, sharp edges or bouncing have a tendency to snag the
rotating accessory and cause loss of control or kickback.
Do not attach a saw chain woodcarving blade or
toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent kickback
and loss of control.
Safety Warnings Specific for Grinding and Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations
Use only wheel types that are recommended for your
power tool and the specific guard designed for the se-
lected wheel. Wheels for which the power tool was not de-
signed cannot be adequately guarded and are unsafe.
The grinding surface of centre depressed wheels must
be mounted below the plane of the guard lip. An improp-
erly mounted wheel that projects through the plane of the
guard lip cannot be adequately protected.
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 the operator from broken wheel frag-
ments, accidental contact with wheel and sparks that could
ignite clothing.
Wheels must be used only for recommended applica-
tions. 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.
Always use undamaged wheel flanges that are of cor-
rect size and shape for your selected wheel. Proper
wheel flanges support the wheel thus reducing the possibil-
ity of wheel breakage. Flanges for cut-off wheels may be
different from grinding wheel flanges.
Do not use worn down wheels from larger power tools.
Wheel intended for larger power tool is not suitable for the
higher speed of a smaller tool and may burst.
Additional Safety Warnings specific for Abrasive
Cutting-Off Operations
Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pres-
sure. Do not attempt to make an excessive depth of
cut. Overstressing the wheel increases the loading and
susceptibility to twisting or binding of the wheel in the cut
and the possibility of kickback or wheel breakage.
Do not position your body in line with and behind the ro-
tating wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is
moving away from your body, the possible kickback may pro-
pel the spinning wheel and the power tool directly at you.
When wheel is binding or when interrupting a cut for
any reason, switch off the power tool and hold the
power tool motionless until the wheel comes to a com-
plete stop. Never attempt to remove the cut-off wheel from
the cut while the wheel is in motion otherwise kickback may
occur. Investigate and take corrective action to eliminate
the cause of wheel binding.
Do not restart the cutting operation in the workpiece.
Let the wheel reach full speed and carefully re-enter
the cut. The wheel may bind, walk up or kickback if the
power tool is restarted in the workpiece.
AGE230
Support panels or any oversized workpiece to minimize
the risk of wheel pinching and kickback. Large workpieces
tend to sag under their own weight. Supports must be placed
under the workpiece near the line of cut and near the edge of
the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
Use extra caution when making a "pocket cut" into ex-
isting walls or other blind areas. The protruding wheel
may cut gas or water pipes, electrical wiring or objects that
can cause kickback.
Safety Warnings Specific for Sanding Operations
Do not use excessively oversized sanding disc paper.
Follow manufacturers recommendations, when select-
ing sanding paper. Larger sanding paper extending be-
yond the sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and
may cause snagging, tearing of the disc, or kickback.
Additional safety instructions
The mains voltage and the voltage specifications on the rat-
ing plate must correspond.
Do not press the spindle lock until the grinding tool stops.
Noise and vibration
NOTE
Values for the A-weighted sound pressure level and for the
total vibration values can be found in the "Technical specifica-
tions" table.
The noise and vibration values have been determined in accor-
dance with EN 60745.
CAUTION!
The indicated measurements refer to new power tools.
Daily use causes the noise and vibration values to change.
NOTE
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has
been measured in accordance with a standardised test given in
EN 60745 and may be used to compare one tool with another.
It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The de-
clared vibration emission level represents the main applications of
the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with
different accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission
may differ. This may significantly increase the exposure level over
the total working period.
However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may dif-
fer. This may significantly decrease the exposure level over the to-
tal working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the
effects of vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories,
keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.
CAUTION!
Wear ear protection at a sound pressure above 85 dB(A).
