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. Keeping your finger on
the switch or having the device switched on when
you connect it to the power supply may result in
accidents.
d)
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A tool or spanner that
is located in a rotating device part may result in
injuries.
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 hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g)
If dust extraction and collection devices can
be mounted, make sure that they are connect-
ed and used properly. Use of dust collection can
reduce dust-related hazards.
h)
Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a sec-
ond.
4)
Power tool use and care
a)
Do not overload the device. 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 can-
not be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
c)
Remove the plug from the socket and/or re-
move the battery before setting the device,
changing accessories or putting the device
away. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.

d)
Store idle power tools out of the reach of chil-
dren and Do not let people use the device who
are not familiar with it or who have not read
these instructions. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e)
Maintain the electric tool with care. Check
whether moving parts function properly and
do not get stuck and whether parts are broken
or are damaged and thus adversely affect the
electric tool function. Have damaged parts re-
paired before using the device. 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.
h)
Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow for
safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
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.

SIVE CUTTING APPLICATIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR ABRASIVE CUT-
TING MACHINES
a)
The protective cover belonging to the electric
tool must be securely attached and adjusted so
that the highest degree of safety is achieved,
i.e. the smallest possible part of the grinding
wheel is revealed to the operator. Keep your-
self and people nearby out of the plane of the
rotating grinding disc. The protective hood is in-
tended to protect the operator from fragments and
accidental contact with the grinding wheel.
