edge of the workpiece on both sides of the wheel.
f) Use extra caution when making a “pocket
cut” into existing 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:

a) Do not use excessively oversized sanding
disc paper. Follow manufacturers
recommendations, when selecting sanding
paper. Larger sanding paper extending beyond the
sanding pad presents a laceration hazard and may
cause snagging, tearing of the disc or kickback.

Safety Warnings Specific for Wire Brushing
Operations:

a) Be aware that wire bristles are thrown by the
brush even during ordinary operation. Do not
overstress the wires by applying excessive
load to the brush. The wire bristles can easily
penetrate light clothing and/or skin.
b) If the use of a guard is recommended for
wire brushing, do not allow interference of the
wire wheel or brush with the guard. Wire wheel
or brush may expand in diameter due to work load
and centrifugal forces.

Additional safety warnings:

17. When using depressed centre grinding wheels,

be sure to use only fiberglass-reinforced
wheels.

18. NEVER USE Stone Cup type wheels with this

grinder. This grinder is not designed for these
types of wheels and the use of such a product may
result in serious personal injury.

19. Be careful not to damage the spindle, the

flange (especially the installing surface) or the
lock nut. Damage to these parts could result in
wheel breakage.

20. Make sure the wheel is not contacting the

workpiece before the switch is turned on.

21. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,

let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced wheel.

22. Use the specified surface of the wheel to

perform the grinding.

23. Watch out for flying sparks. Hold the tool so

that sparks fly away from you and other
persons or flammable materials.

24. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool

only when hand-held.

25. Do not touch the workpiece immediately after

operation; it may be extremely hot and could
burn your skin.

26. Always be sure that the tool is switched off

and unplugged or that the battery cartridge is
removed before carrying out any work on the

tool.

27. Observe the instructions of the manufacturer

for correct mounting and use of wheels.
Handle and store wheels with care.

28. Do not use separate reducing bushings or

adaptors to adapt large hole abrasive wheels.

29. Use only flanges specified for this tool.
30. For tools intended to be fitted with threaded

hole wheel, ensure that the thread in the wheel
is long enough to accept the spindle length.

31. Check that the workpiece is properly

supported.

32. Pay attention that the wheel continues to

rotate after the tool is switched off.

33. If working place is extremely hot and humid,

or badly polluted by conductive dust, use a
short-circuit breaker (30 mA) to assure
operator safety.

34. Do not use the tool on any materials

containing asbestos.

35. Do not use water or grinding lubricant.
36. Ensure that ventilation openings are kept clear

when working in dusty conditions. If it should
become necessary to clear dust, first
disconnect the tool from the mains supply
( use non metallic objects ) and avoid
damaging internal parts.

37. When use cut-off wheel, always work with the

dust collecting wheel guard required by
domestic regulation.

38. Cutting discs must not be subjected to any

lateral pressure.
