The operator bears sole responsibility for any

regulations and the accompanying Safety
Instructions must be observed.
3 General Safety Rules
Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed
below and in the red booklet may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious
personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Keep all of the documents supplied with the tool in
a safe place and pass them on to the new owner if
you part with the tool.
4 Specific Safety Rules
Always use proper guard with grinding wheel.
A guard protects operator from broken wheel
fragments.
Accessories must be rated for at least the
speed recommended on the tool warning label.
Wheels and other accessories running over rated
speed can fly apart and cause injury. Use at least
"max. 80 m/s".
Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting tool
may contact hidden wiring or its own cord.
Contact with a "live" wire will make exposed metal
parts of the tool "live" and shock the operator.
Pay particular attention to the
parts of the text marked with this
symbol for your own safety and
the protection of your power tool.
Always wear eye goggles and hearing protection.
Use other available protective equipment such as
protective gloves, suitable protective work clothing
and helmet.
