these are connected and properly used. 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
second.
2.4
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 remove the battery pack, if detachable,
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 and accessories with
care. 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,
clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery
handles and grasping surfaces do not allow safe
handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
2.5
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.
3. Bench grinder safety warning
For your own protection and for the
protection of your power tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
a) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before
each use, inspect the accessory such as
abrasive wheel for chips and cracks, wire
brushes for loose or cracked wires. 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.
b) 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.
c) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
wire brush even during ordinary operation. Do
not overstress the wires by applying excessive load
to the wire brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
d) Never grind on the sides of a grinding wheel.
Grinding on the side can cause the wheel to break
and fly apart.
The sanding disc must match the machine.
Observe the maximum sanding disc diameter and
thickness. The hole diameter must match the back
flange without play. Do not use adapters or
reducers.
Do not drill sanding discs.
Do not trim discs.
The sanding discs must be fitted perfectly and turn
freely.
Prior to using the grinding wheels, ensure that they
are free from defects. A sound inspection has to be
carried out to detect cracks.
Damaged, eccentric or vibrating or deeply furrowed
sanding discs must not be used.
When clamping the sanding discs, only the flanges
included in the delivery must be used. The
intermediate layers between flange and sanding
tool must be made of elastic materials, e.g. soft
cardboard etc.
Protect sanding discs against shocks, bumps and
grease.
Grinding wheels must be stored and handled with
care in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
Do not touch the rotating sanding disc!
Always use the guard (8), the workpiece support
(10), the transparent guard/eye protection (11)
and the spark deflector (13) as required for the
tools;
Only work when the safety cover (1) is fitted.
Swivel the eye preservers (11) downwards before
sanding.
Use the perimeter (not the sides) of the grinding
wheels for grinding.
Do not reduce the speed of the sanding disc by
pressing on the sides.
