Repairs
The tool may be repaired only by authorised service centres, which must use solely original spare parts. It will guarantee
a proper level of safety of operation of the electric tool.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY GUIDELINES FOR DISC GRINDERS AND POLISHING MACHINES
The tool is intended only for grinding, grinding with sandpaper, grinding with wire brushes and cutting. Read and view
all warnings, instructions, fi gures, and specifi cations supplied with the power tool. Failure to follow all of the instructions
provided below may result in electrocution, fi re, or serious injury.
Do not convert this tool to make it fi t for a job for which it has not been designed and specifi ed by the manufacturer. Such
conversion will result in loss of control and cause serious injuries.
It is prohibited to use the tool as a polishing machine or in any other manner which is non-compliant with the manual.
Performing other works for which the tool is not intended may pose a risk and result in injuries.
Do not use accessories that have not been designed or intended for the work with the tool by the manufacturer. The fact
that the accessories can be installed on the tool does not ensure safe operation.
The maximum rotational speed of the accessories must be equal to or greater than the maximum rotational speed of the
tool. Accessories with a lower rotational speed than the tool speed can disintegrate into fragments during operation.
The outer diameter and thickness of accessories must be within the size range specifi ed for the tool. It is not possible to
properly guard or operate improperly sized accessories.
The size of the hole used for fi xing wheels, discs, fl anges, and other accessories must match the size of the tool spindle.
Accessories with a fi xing hole size not suitable for the tool spindle size will start to vibrate during operation, which may result in
the loss of control of the tool.
Do not use damaged accessories. Before each use, examine the condition of the accessories for possible splinters,
cracks, abrasions and excessive wear. If any accessories are dropped, check them for damages or install new and
undamaged accessories. After checking and installing the accessories, make sure you and all bystanders stand
outside the rotation plane of the accessories, then run the tool for one minute at a maximum rotational speed. Damaged
accessories will disintegrate during the test.
Wear personal protective equipment. Use face shields, goggles, or safety goggles, depending on the application. If
required, use dust masks, hearing protection, safety gloves, and aprons to protect against small pieces of accessories
or materials generated during work. The eye protection must allow for stopping any fl ying debris generated during work. The
dust mask must be capable of fi ltering out dust generated during work. Exposure to noise for too long can result in hearing loss.
Ensure all bystanders keep a safe distance from the work area. Persons entering the work area must wear personal
protective equipment. Debris or pieces of damaged accessories which are generated during work can be thrown out of the
immediate vicinity of the work area.
When carrying out work during which the disc may come into contact with a live concealed electrical cable or power
cord, hold the sander by the insulated handles only. When the disc is in contact with a live wire, it may cause the metal parts
of the tool to become live, which may lead to electrocution of the tool operator.
Keep the power cord away from rotating tool parts. If you lose control of the tool, the cord can be cut or caught, and your hand
or arm can be drawn into the rotating parts of the machine.
Never put down the tool until the rotating parts have come to a complete standstill. The rotating parts can "catch" the ground
and pull the tool out of your control.
Do not turn on the tool while carrying it around. Inadvertent contact with rotating parts can cause your clothes to be caught
and pulled in by the tool, which can result in contact with the operator's body.
Clean the tool's ventilation openings regularly. The motor fan draws dust generated during operation inside the tool. Excessive
accumulation of metal particles contained in the dust increases the risk of electrocution.
Do not use the tool near fl ammable materials. Sparks generated during operation may cause a fi re.
Do not use accessories that require liquid cooling. Water or coolant may lead to
electrocution.
The thread size of the accessories must match the thread of the sander spindle. For fl ange-mounted accessories, the
fi xing hole for the accessories must match the size of the fi xing fl ange. Accessories which do not fi t into the power tool mount
will cause imbalance, excessive vibration and may result in loss of control.
Warnings related to tool kickback towards the operator
The kickback of the tool towards the operator is a sudden reaction to a blocked or clamped: rotating disc, polishing belt, brush or
other accessory. Blocking or jamming causes a rotating accessory to stop suddenly, which results in the power tool rotating in the
opposite direction to the accessory rotation.
For example, if the grinding wheel is blocked or clamped by the workpiece, the edge of the disc that enters the clamping point may
sink into the surface of the material causing the disc to come out or be ejected.
The disc can also be ejected towards or away from the operator, depending on the direction of the grinding wheel movement at
the jamming point. Abrasive discs may also break in these conditions.
The tool kickback towards the operator is a result of misuse or failure to follow the guidelines in the manual. This phenomenon can
