WARNING
The vibration and noise emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardized 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 declared vibration and noise emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for diff erent applications, with
diff erent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration and noise emission may diff er. This may signifi cantly increase the exposure level over the total
working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration and noise should also take into account the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not
actually doing the job. This may signifi cantly reduce the exposure level over the total working period.
Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eff ects of vibration and/or noise such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the
hands warm, organization of work patterns.

"overhang" or the length of the mandrel from the wheel to the collet
must be minimal. If the mandrel is insuffi ciently held and/or the overhang
of the wheel is too long, the mounted wheel may become loose and ejected
at high velocity.
g) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the
accessory such as abrasive wheels for chips and cracks, backing pad
for cracks, tear or excess wear, wire brush for loose or cracked wires.
If power tool or accessory is dropped, inspect for damage or install an
undamaged accessory. 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 noload speed for one
minute. Damaged accessories will normally break apart during this test
time.
h) Wear personal protective equipment. Depending on application,
use face shield, safety goggles or safety glasses. As appropriate,
wear dust mask, hearing protectors, gloves and shop apron capable
of stopping small abrasive or workpiece fragments. The eye protection
must be capable of stopping fl ying debris generated by various operations.
The dust mask or respirator must be capable of fi ltrating particles generated
by your operation. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise may cause
hearing loss.
i) Keep bystanders a safe distance away from work area. Anyone
entering the work area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of workpiece or of a broken accessory may fl y away and cause
injury beyond immediate area of operation.
j) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, when performing
an operation where the cutting accessory may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting accessory contacting a „live" wire may make exposed metal parts of
the power tool „live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
k) Always hold the tool fi rmly in your hands during the start-up. The
reaction torque of the motor, as it accelerates to full speed, can cause the
tool to twist.
ENGLISH
l) Use clamps to support workpiece whenever practical. Never hold
a small workpiece in one hand and the tool in the other hand while
in use. Clamping a small workpiece allows you to use both hands to
control the tool. Round material such as dowel rods, pipes or tubing have
a tendency to roll while being cut, and may cause the bit to bind or jump
toward you.
m) Never lay the power tool down until the accessory has come to a
complete stop. The spinning accessory may grab the surface and pull the
power tool out of your control.
n) After changing the bits or making any adjustments, make sure
the collet nut, chuck or any other adjustment devices are securely
tightened. Loose adjustment devices can unexpectedly shift, causing loss
of control, loose rotating components will be violently thrown.
o) Do not run the power tool while carrying it at your side. Accidental
contact with the spinning accessory could snag your clothing, pulling the
accessory into your body.
p) Regularly clean the power tool's air vents. The motor's fan will draw
the dust inside the housing and excessive accumulation of powdered metal
may cause electrical hazards.
q) Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable materials. Sparks
could ignite these materials.
r) Do not use accessories that require liquid coolants. Using water or
other liquid coolants may result in electrocution or shock.
Kickback and related warnings
Kickback is a sudden reaction to a pinched or snagged rotating wheel,
backing pad, brush or any other accessory. Pinching or snagging causes
rapid stalling of the rotating accessory which in turn causes the uncontrolled
power tool to be forced in the direction opposite of the accessory's rotation
at the point of the binding.
For example, if an abrasive wheel is snagged or pinched by the workpiece,
the edge of the wheel that is entering into the pinch point can dig into the
surface of the material causing the wheel to climb out or kick out. The wheel
may either jump toward or away from the operator, depending on direction
of the wheel's movement at the point of pinching. Abrasive wheels may also
break under these conditions.
Kickback is the result of power tool misuse and/or incorrect operating
procedures or conditions and can be avoided by taking proper precautions
as given below.
a) Maintain a fi rm grip on the power tool and position your body
and arm to allow you to resist kickback forces. Always use auxiliary
handle, if provided, for maximum control over kickback or torque
reaction during start-up. The operator can control torque reactions or
kickback forces, if proper precautions are taken.
b) Use special care when working corners, sharp edges etc. Avoid
bouncing and snagging the accessory. Corners, sharp edges or
bouncing have a tendency to snag the rotating accessory and cause loss of
control or kickback.
c) Do not attach toothed saw blade. Such blades create frequent
kickback and loss of control.
d) Always feed the bit into the material in the same direction as the
cutting edge is exiting from the material (which is the same direction
as the chips are thrown). Feeding the tool in the wrong direction causes
the cutting edge of the bit to climb out of the work and pull the tool in the
direction of this feed.
e) When using rotary fi les, cut-off wheels, high-speed cutters or
tungsten carbide cutters, always have the work securely clamped.
These wheels will grab if they become slightly canted in the groove, and can
kickback. When a cut-off wheel grabs, the wheel itself usually breaks. When
a rotary fi le, high-speed cutter or tungsten carbide cutter grabs, it may jump
from the groove and you could lose control of the tool.
Safety Warnings Specifi c for Grinding and Abrasive Cutting-Off
Operations
a) Use only wheel types that are recommended for your power tool
and only for recommended applications. For example: do not grind
with the side of a cut-off wheel. Abrasive cut-off wheels are intended for
peripheral grinding, side forces applied to these wheels may cause them
to shatter.
b) For threaded abrasive cones and plugs use only undamaged
wheel mandrels with an unrelieved shoulder fl ange that are of correct
size and length. Proper mandrels will reduce the possibility of breakage.
c) Do not "jam" the cut-off wheel or apply excessive pressure. 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.
d) Do not position your hand in line with and behind the rotating
wheel. When the wheel, at the point of operation, is moving away from your
hand, the possible kickback may propel the spinning wheel and the power
tool directly at you.
e) 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 complete 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.
f) 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.
g) 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.
h) 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 Specifi c 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 Specifi c 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) Allow brushes to run at operating speed for at least one minute
before using them. During this time no one is to stand in front or in
line with the brush. Loose bristles or wires will be discharged during the
run-in time.
c) Direct the discharge of the spinning wire brush away from you.
Small particles and tiny wire fragments may be discharged at high velocity
during the use of these brushes and may become imbedded in your skin.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
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.
When grinding metal, fl ying sparks are produced. Take care that no
persons are endangered. Because of the danger of fi re, no combustible
materials should be located in the vicinity (spark fl ight zone). Do not use
dust extraction.
Avoid fl ying sparks and sanding dust hit your body.
Only use properly fi tting and undamaged open-end spanners.
The insertion tools must run completely concentrical. Do not continue to use
out-of-round insertion tools, instead, replace before continuing to work.
Never reach into the danger area of the machine when it is running.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the machine is running.
Immediately switch off the machine in case of considerable vibrations or if
other malfunctions occur. Check the machine in order to fi nd out the cause.
Make sure that the insertion tool comes to a complete stop before laying
it down.
Under extreme conditions (e.g. smooth-grinding metals with the arbour and
vulcanized fi bre grinding wheel), signifi cant contamination can build up on
the inside of the die grinder.
Do not let any metal parts enter the airing slots - danger of short circuit!
Always use and store accessories according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
Do not use this tool to work on asbestos-containing products. Determine the
composition of the workpiece before beginning work. Asbestos should only
be removed by a qualifi ed professional.
