Safety instructions for grinding tools

a) General
Grinding tools are very fragile and likely to break
which is why great care must be taken when hand-
GB
ling the grinding tools. Using damaged, incorrectly
clamped or incorrectly installed grinding discs is
dangerous and may cause serious injury.
b) Handling, transport and storage
Grinding tools are to be treated with care and
transported carefully. Grinding tools should be
stored in such a way that they are not exposed
to mechanical damage or harmful environmental
influences.
Avoid any risk of an electric shock.
■ Check the condition of the device, power cord
and power plug at regular intervals. Stop using
appliances where the aforementioned parts are
damaged. Never open the device. Damaged
appliances, power cords or power plugs cause
danger to life by electric shock. Have repairs
and replacement work done only by the Service
centre or a qualified electrician.
■ Do not operate the appliance if it is damp or in
a humid environment.
■ When working outdoors, connect the appliance
via a fault current circuit breaker with a max-
imum tripping current of 30 mA. Use only an
extension cord approved for outdoor use.
NOTE
► Always hold the power cord away from the
working area of the machine and run it to the
rear away from the machine.
