4. Usage and treatment of the electric tool
a) Do not overload the appliance. Use the
correct tool for your work. You will be able to
work better and more safely within the given
performance boundaries.
b) Do not use an electric tool with a defective
switch. An electric tool that cannot be switched
on or off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Pull the plug out of the socket and/or remove
the battery before making any adjustments to
the appliance, changing accessories or put
the appliance down. This safety measure
prevents starting the electric tool unintentionally.
d) Keep unused electric tools out of the reach
of children. Do not allow people who are not
familiar with the appliance or who have not
read these instructions to use the appliance.
Electric tools are dangerous if they are used by
inexperienced people.
e) Clean your electric tool carefully. Check
whether moving parts are functioning
properly and not jamming, whether parts are
broken or damaged enough that the
functioning of this electric tool is affected.
Have damaged parts repaired before using
the appliance. Many accidents are caused by
badly maintained electric tools.
f) Keep your cutting tools sharp and clean.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges will jam less and are easier to
control.
g) Make sure to use electric tools, accessories,
attachments, etc. in accordance with these
instructions. Take the conditions in your
work area and the job in hand into account.
Using electric tools for any purpose other than the
one for which they are intended can lead to
dangerous situations.
5. Service
a) Have your electric tool repaired only by
trained personnel using only genuine spare
parts. This will ensure that your electric tool
remains safe to use.
Safety Information for all Applications
a) This electric tool is designed for use as a
grinder/sander and cutting-off machine.
Obey all the safety instructions, general
instructions, illustrations and data supplied
with the tool. If you fail to obey the following
instructions, you may suffer an electric shock, fire
and/or serious injuries.
b) This electric tool is not designed for sanding,
working with wire brushes or polishing. Use
of the electric tool in ways it was not intended
could lead to dangerous situations and injuries.
c) Do not use any accessories which have not
been designed and recommended by the
manufacturer specifically for this electric
tool. Just because you can attach an accessory
to your electric tool, this does not guarantee that
you can use it safely.
d) The maximum speed of the plug-in tool must
be at least as high as the maximum speed
specified on the electric tool. Accessories
which rotate faster than the maximum speed may
break and be catapulted out of the tool.
e) The external diameter and thickness of the
plug-in tool must comply with the dimension
specifications of your electric tool. Plug-in
tools of the wrong size cannot be adequately
screened or checked.
f) Grinding wheels, flanges, grinding disks or
other accessories must fit precisely on the
grinding spindle of your electric tool. Plug-in
tools which do not fit exactly on to the grinding
spindle of the electric tool will rotate irregularly,
vibrate a great deal and may result in you losing
control.
g) Do not use damaged plug-in tools. Before
use, check plug-in tools such as
grinding/sanding wheels for splintering and
cracks, grinding/sanding disks for cracks,
wear or heavy wear, and wire brushes for
loose or broken wires. If the electric tool or
the plug-in tool is dropped, check whether it
is damaged or use an undamaged plug-in
tool. When you have checked and fitted the
plug-in tool, make sure that you and other
persons in the vicinity are not on a level with
the rotating plug-in tool and allow the electric
tool to run for one minute at maximum
speed. Damaged plug-in tools will generally
break during this test time.
h) Wear personal protection equipment. Use
face guards, eye protection or goggles
depending on the application. If reasonable,
wear a dust mask, ear protection, safety
gloves or special aprons to keep small
grinding and material particles away from
you. Protect your eyes from flying foreign bodies
which may be created by a range of applications.
Dust masks or respiration masks must filter the
dust generated by the application. If you are
exposed to loud noise for a lengthy period of
time, you may suffer hearing loss.
i) Ensure that others keep a safe distance away
from where you are working. Anybody who
enters the area must wear personal
protection equipment. Pieces of the workpiece
or broken plug-in tools may be catapulted into the
