ures reduce the risk of starting the power
tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalign-
ment or binding of moving parts, break-
age of parts and any other condition that
may affect the power tool's operation. If
damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Prop-
erly maintained cutting tools with sharp cut-
ting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for op-
erations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a quali-
fied repair person using only identical re-
placement parts. This will ensure that the
safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional safety
rules for straight
grinders
▪ Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, when performing an op-
eration where the cutting accessory may
contact hidden wiring or its own cord. Cut-
ting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric
shock.
▪ Always wear eye and ear protection and
use a dust mask. The dust and abrasive par-
ticles separated during operation may seri-
ously injure your health.
WARNING: Before connecting a tool
to a power source be sure that the voltage
supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool.
Original instructions
▪ A power source with a voltage greater than
that specified for the tool can result in serious
injury to the user, as well as damage to the
tool.
▪ If in doubt, do not plug in the tool.
▪ Using a power source with a voltage less than
the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
WARNING: Always switch off and un-
plug the power tool prior to any adjustment,
servicing or maintenance or in case of mains
drop-out.
▪ The outer metal parts and the bits may get hot
after continuous operation. Do not touch the
bit or the work piece immediately after opera-
tion - they may be extremely hot and you may
get serious burns.
▪ Keep your hands away from the rotating bit.
▪ Use clamps or a vice to secure your work
whenever possible.
▪ Always switch off the machine and wait until
the spindle has come to a complete standstill
before placing it down.
▪ Do not force the machine: let the tool do the
work at a reasonable speed. Overloading will
occur if too much pressure is applied and the
motor slows resulting in inefficient work and
possible damage to the motor.
▪ Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
▪ Before using the tool on an actual work piece,
switch on and let it run for a while. Operate
the tool at least 200 mm away from your face
and body.
▪ Always be sure you have a firm footing. Be
sure no one is below when using the tool in
high locations.
▪ The tool must be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any use other than those mentioned
in this Manual will be considered a case of
misuse. The user and not the manufacturer
shall be liable for any damage or injury result-
ing from such cases of misuse.
▪ To use this tool properly, you must observe
the safety regulations, the assembly instruc-
tions and the operating instructions found in
this Manual. All persons who use and service
the machine have to be acquainted with this
Manual and must be informed about its poten-
tial hazards. Children and frail people must not
use this tool. Children should be supervised
at all times if they are in the area in which the
tool is being used. It is also imperative that
you observe the accident prevention regula-
