WARNING
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet
has been measured in accordance with a standardised 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 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 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 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 such as: maintain the tool and
the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work
patterns.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Safety Warnings Common for Grinding or abrasive
cutting-off operation
a) This power tool is intended to function as a grinder
or cut off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions,
-1
illustrations and specifi cations provided with this power
tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result
in electric shock, fi re and/or serious injury.
b) Operations such as sanding, wire brushing or
polishing are not recommended to be performed with
this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was
not designed may create a hazard and cause personal
injury.
c) Do not use accessories which are not specifi cally
designed and recommended by the tool manufacturer.
Just because the accessory can be attached to your power
tool, it does not assure safe operation.
2
d) The rated speed of the accessory must be at least
2
equal to the maximum speed marked on the power tool.
2
Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break
2
and fl y apart.
e) The outside diameter and the thickness of your
accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be
adequately controlled.
f) The arbour size of wheels, sanding drum or any other
accessory must properly fi t the spindle or collet of the
power tool. Accessories that do not match the mounting
hardware of the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate
excessively and may cause loss of control.
g) Mandrel mounted wheels, sanding drums, cutters or
other accessories must be fully inserted into the collet
or chuck. 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.
h) Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use
inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
chips and cracks, sanding drum 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 no-load
speed for one minute. Damaged accessories will normally
break apart during this test time.
i) 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.
j) 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.
k) Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
when performing an operation where the cutting
accessory may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give
the operator an electric shock.
l) 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.
m) 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.
n) Position the cord clear of the spinning accessory. If
you lose control, the cord may be cut or snagged and your
hand or arm may be pulled into the spinning accessory.
o) 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.
p) 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.
q) 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.
r) 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.
s) Do not operate the power tool near fl ammable
materials. Sparks could ignite these materials.
t) 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.
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. The operator can control 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 a 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" a 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 pinched, snagged 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 pinching or
snagging."
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.
This product is not intended for use as a dental drill or
in human or veterinary medical applications. Serious
injury ma result.
