Original Operating Instructions
Dear Customer!
Please read the enclosed safety regulations and
operating instructions before using the unit.
Safety guidelines for all operations
a) This power tool can be used as grinder, sander
and abrasive cutting-off tool. Please observe all
safety guidelines, instructions, illustrations and
data provided with the device. Failure to follow
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and/or serious injuries.
b) This power tool is not suitable for working with
wire brushes and polishing Uses for which the
power tool is not intended can cause hazards and
injuries.
c) Do not use accessories which are not designed
or recommended by the manufacturer specifical-
ly for this power tool. Just because the accessory
can be attached to your power tool does not as-
sure safe use.
d) The rated speed of the bits and cutters must be
at least equal to the maximum speed specified
on the power tool. Accessories that turn faster
than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
e) The outside diameter and thickness of the bits
and cutters must be within the capacity rating of
your power tool. Incorrectly sized bits and cutters
cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
f) The arbour size of discs, flanges, grinding discs
or other accessories must properly fit the grind-
ing spindle of your power tool. Bits and cutters
that do not fit the grinding spindle of the power
tool properly will turn unevenly, vibrate very
strongly and cause loss of control.
g) Do not use damaged bits and cutters. Before
each use, inspect bits and cutters such as sand-
ing discs for chips and cracks, grinding discs for
cracks, strong wear or tear, wire brushes for
loose or broken wires. If the power tool or bits
and cutters are dropped, check for damage or
install undamaged bits and cutters. After you
have inspected and installed the bits and cut-
ters, keep yourself and any other persons in the
vicinity away from the plane of the rotating bits
and cutters and run the device at maximum rota-
tional speed for one minute. Damaged bits and
cutters usually break during this test time.

h) Wear protective equipment. Depending on the
application, use full face protection, eye protec-
tion or protective goggles. If appropriate, wear a
dust mask, hearing protection, protective gloves
or a special apron capable of stopping small
abrasive and material particles. The eyes are to
be protected from flying debris generated during
various operations. Dust masks or respirators
must filter the dust generated during the opera-
tion. If you are exposed to loud noise for a long
time, you may suffer hearing loss.
i) Keep other people at a safe distance away from
your work area. Anyone who enters the working
area must wear personal protective equipment.
Fragments of the work piece or broken bits and
cutters can fly away and cause injuries even be-
yond the immediate area of work.
j) Hold the device only by its insulated grip sur-
faces if you perform work where the bits and
cutters could contact hidden power cables or
your own mains cable. Contact with a live cable
can energize metal device parts and cause electric
shock.
k) Keep the mains cable away from rotating bits
and cutters. If you lose control of the device, the
mains cable could be cut or snagged, and your
hand or your arm could get pulled into the rotat-
ing bits and cutters.
l) Never set down the power tool until the bits and
cutters come to a complete stop. Turning bits
and cutters grab the depositing surface and pull
the power tool out of your control.
m) Do not allow the power tool to run while you are
carrying it. Your clothing could get snagged acci-
dentally in the rotating bits and cutters, causing
the power tool to pierce your body.
n) Regularly clean the ventilation slits of your pow-
er tool. The motor fan sucks dust into the hous-
ing and a strong accumulation of metal dust can
cause electrical hazards.
o) Do not use the power tool in the vicinity of com-
bustible materials. Sparks could ignite these ma-
terials.
p) Do not use bits and cutters that require liquid
coolants. The use of water or other liquid
coolants can cause electric shock.
